The exterior is constructed using 2.5mm 304 stainless steel & painted surfaced are electro-galvanized before powder-coating for long-lasting corrosion resistance.

Innovative Design

Our unique cooking chamber, domed front-to-back and side-to-side, eliminates hot spots and ensures uniform heat distribution. Our proprietary exhaust design allows smoke to exit even when the door is closed for maximum heat retention and consistent cooking temperatures.

Handcrafted Tradition & Experience

Designed & 100% made in Italy by skilled artisans using the highest quality materials & most durable construction methods. Fontana Forni was the first company to manufacture metal, woodfired, pizza ovens back in 1978. Our competitors only began manufacturing metal, woodfired, pizza ovens during the last decade.

Superior Construction & Materials

The Margherita is constructed using 2.5 millimeter 441 (interior) & 304 (exterior) stainless steel, 12 centimeter thick insulation, and corrosion-resistant, powder-coated metal. We also utilize solid weld construction when assembling our ovens, this yields a more durable product that will withstand high temperature applications.

Many other brands use lighter, cheaper materials, lower-grade steel, and synthetic insulation, affecting heat retention and durability. Additionally, some other manufacturers will cut costs by using spot weld construction which results in a less durable oven.
