Pizza Oven
Hi
I am looking to have a traditional style wood fired pizza oven to be installed onto a base in our outdoor kitchen area. I had a chat with our local builders merchant and they said they could provide ovens by di fiore. When I looked at them, they seemed to take a really long time to get hot enough for cooking, and it takes around 10 minutes to cook a pizza. I wasn't sure if this suggests that they aren't a great product.
Has anyone got experience of buying/installing/using something similar to this? How long would you expect to get it hot enough, and how long to cook a pizza? Is it fairly straight forward to cook a good pizza?
Any recommendations for brands/installors/merchants in the Marche area?
Many thanks :-)

Re: Pizza Oven
The old style ovens warm up in 20/30mins and it takes 8 to cook. You would be hard pushed to find a wood burning oven that is hot enogh in less than that I suspect. A good pizzeria will light the oven 2 hours before opening.

Ah, thank you Modicasa. I am being quoted heat up times of around 3 hours! 30mins would be no issue at all. Any other experiences out there?

Re: Pizza Oven
Thanks all for your previous replies. In the end I bought one made in the UK! It was easier. However, now I'm at the next hurdle.... the wood. In the UK I would be searching for kiln dried wood and natural firelighters. I know where the local wood yard is in Marche, but am not holding out much hope of him stocking either of those commodities. Anyone have any pointers here?
