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.

Best Pizza Oven!

I did a TON of research when trying to decide what pizza oven I wanted to buy for my phone. I visited every BBQ store I could find, read all the online information sites and reviews, and even called Fontana and a competitor to ask further questions about the ovens. Fontana is a family run business and that is exactly what I got when I called! I believe it was the son I talked to. He spent 30 minutes answering ALL of my questions!!! He told me all of the pros/cons of his and other products, was super honest and insightful. I went with the wood burning Margherita and it has been INCREDIBLE!!!! Such a quality unit that produces amazing pizzas and was worth every penny! In fact, we recently sold our home (unfortunately the buyers requested the pizza oven as part of the deal) and one of the first things we're looking forward to buying once our new home is built is another Fontana pizza oven! They're the BEST!!!

My Marghetita Wood Fired Oven

The absolute BEST piece of outdoor cookery I own. Attended a demo in Covington, LA, just had to have it. A little disappointed I couldn't take the demo home with me, but mine arrived in record time. Arrived in absolute perfect condition. Heavy quality. A beautiful addition to my pool area. Fantastic cover included. Once I mastered the fire and temperature technique, and the dough making, it is always pizza time. In lieu of looking for a reason not to make pizza, I find a reason to use this oven. The oven temperature maintains for a longer period than I calculated. The aroma and flavor from the various wood types I use makes a dramatic difference. It is fun to use, clean up is simple; I use a shop vac. My guests love creating their own design and sampling each others creation. The wide, large design, makes moving your creation simple and safe. To sum up my comment, I love my purchase, and have zero regrets. The craftsmanship in the oven is well presented and obvious. I just did not realize how many of my new friends/neighbors like pizza too; you cannot hide the smell. “Hey, you doing pizza again?”

Super fast shipping and perfect delivery!

I received my Margarita today via Dayton Freight. The shipping was crazy fast, and the packaging was superb. So far my experience has been 10/10. Can't wait to fire up my oven this weekend!!

No question - this is the best wood fired oven out there

We love our Marinara Wood-Fired Oven, finding one reason or another to use it at least once a week if not more often. And that includes in good weather and bad. I saw Fontana Forni's posting on Instagram about insulation. The Fontana is in a class by itself. Our Marinara gets hotter to the touch during the day from direct sunlight than it does in the evening when it is cooking time. Check out these photos from a whopper of a winter storm we had in March of last year. Had to shovel a path to the oven, and didn't bother knocking off the snow on it - just fired it up and did cast-iron steak... at about 750 degrees Fahrenheit! The melt around the chimney wasn't much of a surprise - but the lack of melt on the oven itself was stunning. This insulation isn't just great for cooking, it's an amazing safety feature too. Yes, this is an Awsome Oven - most certainly a TOP Recommendation for anyone seeking the ultimate in wood-fire oven cooking! Cheers - Dan

Work of Art

After much research I settled on this product and could not be happier. This is honestly one of the most satisfying purchases I have ever made. From the beginning, outstanding customer service, then the product arrives well packaged and is so well constructed. I was surprised at how thick the steel is-it is substantial. Fired it up the first day and a few times since. It performs flawlessly. The airflow is well controlled, insulation is amazing-at 700 degrees I can lay my hand on the outside of the oven. It is beautiful, performs well and is a work of artisan craftsmanship. Thank you to Jim for your quick responses to all of my questions. This product is, hands down, worth every penny. Just a few more notes-there is more than enough room to bake casseroles, dessserts and even roast chicken. I am very pleased.

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.

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

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
