Rating: 4.4 / 5 stars. Price: $$$$$The ilFornino Professional Series isn’t like the previous two outdoor pizza ovens it’s a pretty serious (and yes, fairly pricey) wood burning pizza oven that you’d would absolutely love in your backyard if you’re serious about pizza making.Let’s take a look at what it has to offer:. It’s can get up to full heat, 1000F +, in 22 minutes, and then cook your pizza in approx. 70 seconds. It has a large cooking area (1007 sq. Inches) so you can cook for a crowd – at least 3 large pizzas or 6 small ones at once!. You can use it for so much more than pizzas! Bake breads, bagels, cake, roast even grill steaks, chops etc.
The oven part sits on a base, but you can also place it on an outdoor kitchen counter top as it’s not bolted on. You’ll notice how crazy heavy duty this oven is when you try to move it though – it’s no lightweight!. It’s made with high-density insulation that keeps it 5 times more insulated than a traditional pizza oven – it has incredible heat retention, meaning you won’t find yourself needing to refuel every few minutes!. It ships already assembled (other than the chimney) from where it’s made in Valley Cottage, New York – all you need to do is lift the (really heavy) oven onto the cart and roll it out to your backyard! It also comes with a Professional Peel, a brush, and a handy manual.Check out this video a better look. The Professional series model is an upgrade from the ilFornino basic pizza oven, (which is good in it’s own right). There are 3 major upgrades: 1.
The floor is now one flat slab/cooking surface (the Basic was made from several bricks not as smooth for food delivery as the 1 1/2″ thick refractory pizza stone used in the Professional). The whole unit of the Professional is built from a thicker stainless steel (the dome a single-weld). The Professional has double the insulation of the Basic, so it retains the heat at a much better rate.Because the IlFornino Professional Series pizza oven is such a high quality item, it’s going to cost a fair bit more than many of the items on this list. Is it for everyone?
Neither is the price tag. But if you’re looking for a tradional Napolitano oven with a modern look, a fabulous pizza oven that will last you years and years, it’s a great choice.4. BakerStone Pizza Oven Box. Company: BakerStone.
Fueled By: Your Gas Grill. Rating: 4.3 / 5 stars. Price: $Unlike the one above, which was a full out pizza oven on wheels, this next one we’re looking at is basically an accessory, something that you use along with your current. It’s a portable pizza oven box that you place on the grates of your grill – you use the grill burners to heat it up, and then insert your pizza for cooking. It’s a cheaper, more compact alternative.If this sounds appealing to you, here are some more details on the BakerStone Pizza Oven Box:. How it works: The patent pending design of the oven box raises the temperature of your grill to similar to a real wood burning oven (600 ᵒF to 800 ᵒF), and bakes your pizza using a combination of convective, conductive, and radiant heat.
After pre-heating your oven box (about 20 minutes on high), your pizza get cooked in just 2-4 minutes! This is really handy for a pizza party where you’re making pizza for a crowd.
You do need a 3 burner gas grill minimum for it to fit properly. There are pizza stones on the bottom, top, sides and back for even cooking.
