Key Features

Fully operational in under fifteen minutes of preheating

  • Proudly 100 percent made in Italy with European parts for authentic quality
If you need a quick and perfect crunch in a time-tested, proven oven, this is the one for you. Featuring a modern re-imagining on the traditional brick oven, the Margherita pizza oven mixes efficiency and incredible speed with the authenticity of old world Italian cooking. The Margherita features a 24-inch by 24-inch cooking surface, and maintains a cold exterior that is touch-safe. Built inside and out with the 304 stainless steel, these ovens heat to temperature in an incredible 10-15 minutes, as seen in the Forno Toscano Oven Overview video. This oven works more like a traditional brick oven, where the fire is placed directly within the oven and kept to the side with a wood holder. Cook directly on the food grade cooking stone to obtain incredibly crispy brick oven crust. The insulating refractory brick layer beneath the cooking stone provides superior heat retention and will not break down over time. Two-slide-out handles and bottom caster wheels allow mobility for exact placement to your needs. For over forty years, all Fontana Forni products have been created at home in Italy with in-house metal fabrication for impeccable quality and attention to standards. Fontana Forni pizza ovens over thirty years old are still in perfect operation with minimal maintenance across Italy.

Love the oven!

We love our new oven. We went with the red color. The oven arrived as expected (minus the free accessory kit), however, once we got in touch with customer service, they sent it out right away. This oven easily gets to over 800F and retains heat VERY well. It is heavy and will require at least two capable people to lift onto the base.

Love My Fontana Forni Oven

Bought my pizza oven in 2013 and it's as good as new today. I have used 3rd party covers which didn't last . The new cover I got from Fontana is beautiful. It is great material fits perfect and looks great. I'm sure 10 years from now I'll still have it and still be making pizzas

I purchased an oven a few years ago which we still love. Great addition to the backyard cooking area. Happy to say Fontana has reliable after purchase customer support. I would recommend them if considering adding an oven as a cooking option.

Great oven

This was a very quick transaction, including shipping. This is a heavy oven, so we used three people to load in my SUV to move it to the final location on a stainless steel table on my patio.Heat retention is very good. We did have 3 loose screws on the bottom that scratched my table during the install, but hoisted it up and got them tightened. I've completed 6 cooks so far and have done pizzas, meats, casseroles and corn on the cob.

My new Margherita Oven

I had built a wood fired clay oven at our old house about 10 years ago that I truly enjoyed. Unfortunately I had to leave it behind when we moved. I knew I needed a wood fired oven In my life and decided to get a pre-made one. After doing a lot of research I knew Fontana Forni was the one I wanted. I am in an early user learning curve right now. I've fired it up six times now and am getting better at maintaining the temperature I need for what I'm cooking. That is a challenge.

Beginners frustration

Oh, there there a number of YouTube videos that makes the process look easy, there is no written instructions, provided by the company explaining the proper set up and routine for using the oven. It certainly has a lot of potential writer assistance from the company would be beneficial

Heated to 700 degrees in

Heated to 700 degrees in about 20 minutes on the first firing. The pizzas cooked quickly on the top , but the bottom was not cooked. I'll need to let it heat up longer on the next try

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
