Alfa delivers again

I've had an Alfa ONE for years and love it, but now I have a CIAO and love it even more! I bought the CIAO for our cabin but swapped it with the ONE at our home because it's more fun to cook on!! :)

Pizza Oven FAQs

How are your pizza ovens shipped?

Our pizza oven accessories & the small portable pizza ovens are shipped via UPS or FedEx and will be delivered directly to your doorstep.

However, most of our pizza ovens are shipped via freight, and we include the cost of a lift gate (the platform that lowers your oven down to the curb) upon delivery. If your pizza oven is shipped via freight the shipping service company will call you in advance to schedule your delivery, so make sure to provide your best daytime phone number with your order info within checkout.

Keep in mind that freight delivery drivers are not required to move your package into your garage or backyard, so you will need to open the package up on your curb or driveway and carry all of the components to where you plan to store or set up your pizza oven.

We're here to help, so contact us with any questions!

Can I use one of your pizza ovens indoors?

Most of our pizza ovens are specifically made to use outdoors, but some of our commercial pizza ovens are built for indoor use (if they are properly vented to the outside).

Some of our outdoor pizza ovens (like our stone pizza ovens) can also be used indoors if you properly prepare for it. This requires venting to the outside, and also making sure that the surrounding are fire resistant. We recommend clearing this with your insurance provider, especially if you are using a pizza oven inside of your shop or business.

Will my pizza oven strictly cook pizza?

No, you can cook virtually anything you would cook in a traditional oven in your pizza oven. Just keep in mind that the internal cooking temperature of a pizza oven is generally much higher than it is in a traditional (indoors) oven, so adjust cooking times accordingly.

Where can I find good pizza recipes?
