Great investment. The shipping was incredible! I didn’t expect the oven to be so well packaged. I uncrated using a screw gun with Phillips bit. Installed the casters with the standstill in the box. Easy to assemble as the stand is designed to be unpacked first. I did call for clarification since the instructions were unclear about the handles. There are 4 large screws that are removable from the bottom sides of the oven and temporary handles (supplied) are screwed in to make the oven easy to lift onto the stand (with helpers...it’s heavy). Fired it up at a family gathering with over 20 and let everyone design their own pizza. Worked like a charm right out of the box. Everyone was wowed and ate more than they should have. Tonight I’m branching out with steak and potatoes. The oven comes with a large standard peel and is great for pulling pizza but I would recommend a wooden one to help the dough slide off and a smaller stainless peel to rotate the food and adjust the fire. A brush is included as well and helps keep the floor clean between pizzas. There is a grate on the floor at the back of the oven with a drawer to sweep and remove ashes. At 800+ degrees the ashes were few and fine. This is a solid piece of equipment. Bigger than I expected. As mentioned, I did call for support and got an immediate response. I think this oven was a GREAT investment!

This is a very attractive pizza oven and that was one of the most important reasons for purchasing it. I did not want something ugly on my lovely patio. The insulated version (professional) does a good job of holding heat. I usually get the surface up to 700-800 degrees and the top 1000-1200. When you close it up and throw something in to cook overnight you'll wake up to around 150-200 degrees (at least in warm weather). The stone on the bottom is about an inch thick and really makes wonderful pizzas. In theory you could fit 2-3 pizzas in there at a time but they cook so quickly (2-4 minutes) there's no need to crowd it. The only cons are the bolts on the sides are rusting from the inside. I suspect the steel is treated to be rust proof prior to manufacture. Once the steel is cut into bolt threads and phillips head, it exposes untreated steel and that is where the rust is. This is minor but a cosmetic flaw. The only other problem is one I hope the manufacturer will correct. As you can see in my picture, I have a roof over my oven and need to extend the chimney through it. Currently the manufacturer does not offer extensions or even pieces of the stainless pipe. Once they do this will certainly be a 5-star oven.

Great awesome pizza oven. Needed help of a friend setting it up. Setup was easy took us about 45 min. Its heavy so have 2 strong guys to do this I also took 4 concrete deck support anchor blocks painted them red and put them below the cart to raise it up about 8 inches I locked the wheels to keep them from moving and the wheels fit perfectly in the slot of the anchor blocks then we put the pizza oven on top of the cart. Now I can see straight in the oven without bending over and I think it completes the look of it. Got alot of compliments on how it looks. You can put it right on the ground too and that way you can move it around with the wheels if you have to. Once you put it on the blocks remember your not going to be able to roll it anywhere so make sure if you do this its were your always planning on leaving it. I dont really see a need to have to move it around I have two bbq in my back yard on wheels also and I can't remember the last time I ever moved them to different places to cook they stay right were they are besides if you roll this oven around you risk the chance of cracking the fire stones. Hope this helps. Update: so I have this oven a week now and I'd like to give you an update on pros and cons...the cons are 1: its very heavy but only before it goes on the cart 2: the welds on the cart are ok but dont expect it to look all nice and shiny there are a few scratches and smug rubs that will not come out but it does give it caricature 3: you will burn your hands not in a bad way but you will feel the extreme heat so if you can't take that burn like pain I suggest you were leather gloves. 4: you will be spending a lot of money on tools, pizza spinners for sure the peel with the round head a good one will run you about 70 bucks dont waste your money on those short handles cheap ones there just not worth it and with short handle means your hands will be close to the oven mouth and you will feel that burn pain. You'll need a good long handle square metal peel to slide the finished pizza out with about 80 bucks on Amazon dont buy a cheap one they will break the welds will snap. An Ash shovel will run you about 50/ 60 bucks for one with a long handle amazon has a good one with long handle for 48 bucks. You'll need a good size wooden peel to make the pizza on with long handle and slide it in the oven with the wooden peel. That's all the wooden peel is used for making the pizza on it and sliding it in the oven then put it on the side and use the round metal peel to spin your pizza around their about 80 bucks on Amazon so the side facing the flames doesn't burn. A good stainless steel cart next to your oven to lay your tools on and prep your pizzas. About 90 bucks on Amazon. The steel wire brush it comes with is ok for now but you will need a flame proof soft brush to clean off the ash before you lay your pizza down the steel ones are not great at getting that thin layer of ash off and if you use the steel brush only eventually a wire bristle will fall off and land on the stone and when someone bites into that piece of wire you'll hear it...not a good thing. Get the soft brush right before you put in your pizza. These things all add up so expect to shell out about 400 to 500 extra bucks on extras including a wood rack to hold all your wood dont put your wood on the bottom rack it won't hold much wood without rolling off the sides and your scratch up the shelf. These are amongst other things you'll need. The pros : customer service at ilfornino is awesome Marsha who answers the phone is a gem to talk with and Jimmy and the builders in the back are all great guys and their there to help you with any problems you might have. But the number one pro is...It makes kick Ass Pizzas so none of the cons really matter. These ovens are awesome their made in the USA in New York come on now that's Italian (yo Tony) so if your thinking of buying one go for it.

We just picked up our oven a few days ago and with a little trial and error, I was able to make some of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Il Fornino had my oven ready for pickup in a few days and their customer service is awesome. The pictures say it all. So amazing. If your debating this purchase, stop!

It took me a while to post a recommendation. Had to learn how it ticks. Dont be stingy with wood. Let this puppy glow, it can take it. Cant beat this price and quality. Nice solid package, easy to transport, guys thought of everything. Even the pizza peel is perfect. Could use a foot longer handle tho.
