Fontana Forni Pizza Ovens & Accessories: Authentic Italian Craft, Built for Your Backyard
The Fontana tradition goes back to 1945, when Giuseppe Fontana returned from the war to his hometown of San Lorenzo in Campo in Italy's Marche region and started a small blacksmith shop. What began as cast-iron tools for local farmers grew, over three generations of the Fontana family, into one of Italy's most respected oven manufacturers. In 1978, the Fontana brothers built the world's first indirect combustion metal wood-fired oven, pioneering a category that the rest of the industry is still catching up to. Every Fontana oven is designed and 100% built in Italy using 441 stainless steel on the interior, 304 stainless steel on the exterior, and 12 centimeters of insulation surrounding the cooking chamber. The result is an oven that reaches up to 900°F, heats to cooking temperature in 30 minutes or less, and stays safe to the touch on the outside while the inside rages. Whether you're pulling a Neapolitan pizza in 90 seconds or slow-roasting a leg of lamb until it falls apart, a Fontana oven brings the soul of an Italian trattoria to your own backyard.
Fontana Forni Wood-Fired Ovens: Pure, Live-Fire Performance
The Fontana wood-fired lineup is built for the cook who wants the real thing: crackling hardwood, rising smoke, and a blistered crust you can't fake. Each oven features a solid welded bent-steel dome, a variable stainless steel chimney cap for precise temperature control, and an electro-galvanized powder-coated exterior built to handle every season your backyard throws at it. All 3 models are available as countertop units or on a portable cart.
- Margherita: Sleek, compact, and built for any environment, the Margherita is the most portable model in the wood-fired lineup and the perfect entry point into authentic Italian live-fire cooking. It reaches 7501q1°F in 30 minutes or less, delivering all the performance of a centuries-old tradition without any of the hassle.
- Mangiafuoco: The mid-range wood-fired model, the Mangiafuoco steps up the cooking surface for those who regularly cook for a crowd. It brings the same screaming heat and fast preheat as the Margherita, with added capacity to keep the night going well past the first pizza.
- Marinara: The largest of the wood-fired lineup, the Marinara fits four 10-inch pizzas at once across a 32" x 32" cooking chamber. It's built for those who take backyard hospitality seriously, with room for pizza, roasts, bread, and dessert all running at the same time.
Fontana Forni Gas & Hybrid Ovens: All the Flavor, More Control
For the backyard cook who wants the performance of a wood-fired oven with the convenience of gas, Fontana's gas and hybrid lineup delivers both. Every model is ETL and CSA certified, engineered with the same solid-welded dome and heavy insulation as the wood-fired line, and capable of reaching 750°F in 30 minutes. Hybrid models let you switch between gas precision and wood-fired character, so you never have to choose between a weeknight shortcut and a weekend showstopper.
- Napoli: The entry point into Fontana's hybrid lineup, the Napoli pairs a 54,000 BTU burner with a 480 sq. in. cooking surface and the choice of gas or wood. It's the ideal oven for the cook who wants authentic Italian flavor without committing to a full fire every time they cook.
- Firenze: Named for Florence, the Firenze steps up to a 28" x 24" cooking surface with a 68,000 BTU burner powerful enough to fire 3 12-inch pizzas at once. Sleek alloy handles, a metal gas knob, and a modern Italian aesthetic make it as easy on the eyes as it is on the palate.
- Roma: The flagship of the hybrid lineup, the Roma is an evolution of the beloved Marinara, upgraded with a 75,000 BTU burner, 900 sq. in. of cooking space, and a quick stone rebound time that keeps temperatures ideal between cooks. For the serious entertainer who won't settle.
- Maestro 60: A dedicated gas-fired oven and the most accessible entry point in the Fontana lineup, the Maestro 60 brings authentic Italian pizza-oven performance to a compact, no-fuss package. Fire it up, dial in the heat, and cook.
- Volta: Fontana's newest innovation, the Volta smart hybrid oven is available in the 70 and 90 configurations and features integrated controls that take the guesswork out of heat management, and getting up to 840°F safely.
Fontana Forni Pizza Accessories: Everything You Need to Cook Like a Pro
A great oven deserves great tools. Fontana Forni accessories are built to complement every oven in the lineup, from portable carts that give your countertop model the freedom to move anywhere on the patio to professional pizza tool sets that make managing a 900°F oven feel effortless. And for the cook chasing the most authentic Neapolitan crust possible, Fontana offers the optional Saputo pizza stone, a hand-crafted Neapolitan stone made in Naples, Italy, with exceptional heat retention and moisture absorption that cooks a perfect pizza in 60–90 seconds without burning the bottom.
