What fuel do the pizza ovens you sell use?

It’s an inescapable fact that a wood-fired pizza oven will always deliver the very best tasting pizzas and food, however gas is very convenient and cooks a very good pizza quickly. Most of our ovens are available as wood fired ovens, however some use gas, wood pellets and even charcoal.

  • Delivita: Wood Fired or Dual Fuelled ( Wood + Gas)
  • Ooni: Wood Fired, Charcoal, Wood Pellet or Gas Powered (depending on model chosen) 
  • Gozney: Gas or Dual Fuelled ( Wood + Gas)

Do I need to install my new pizza oven?

This depends upon the oven you purchase. Most of our brands come ready to use, just take them out of the box, place the cooking stone(s) in, pop the chimney on and get going. All ovens come with instructions to help you out.

The Igneus Ceramiko requires some assembly and possibly finishing off, depending on which model you buy.  Typically, the core of the oven will take around an hour to assemble, but the insulating and finishing off may take longer depending on your preferred finish such as rendering.

If you purchased a pizza oven with a stand then you will have to assemble the stand. This typically takes between 30 and 40 minutes depending on your stand choice.

All assembly instructions are included, but all our manuals can also be found to download on our manuals page.

The Igneus Minimo comes with a peel and rake, but you can also purchase a cover and cast-iron pans for it. The Igneus Bambino and Classico require a peel and rake to use with the ovens. These are not included with the oven price. Other accessories such as stand, cover, cast iron pans etc.

How to I maintain my pizza oven?

With the Ooni Range, you remove and empty the tray at the back of the oven. Then use washing up liquid and a sponge to clean the outside of the oven. With the Gozney Roccbox simply use washing up liquid and a sponge to clean the outside of the oven. If using the wood burner accessory, disconnect it from the oven once cold and open to drop the ash into a bin.

To clean the Igneus, Delivita and Clementi oven ranges, use a rake/ brush to remove the cold embers from the cooking area. To clean the outside of the oven simply use washing up liquid and a sponge. Please note that you should never wet the firebricks or stone oven floor as it makes them weaken. To clean the Igneus Ceramiko range of pizza ovens, use a brush to remove the cold ash from the oven. Do not use water to clean the cooking stone or external areas.

If cooking with wood on the Gozney Dome, use a brush to sweep the cold ash into the ash basket once the oven is cooled down. Externally, use a soft cloth and water to clean the canopy. If you plan on leaving your pizza oven outdoors all year, we recommend you purchase a cover for the oven. Only use the cover once the pizza oven has fully cooled down.
