Selecting Your Residential Wood Fired Pizza Oven

There are 5 considerations you need to make when choosing the right Vesuvio Wood Fired Oven for you. 

1. Your Cooking Requirements

What sort of cooking do you intend to do in your oven? If it's just pizza and small dishes you wish to cook, the FVR 80 may be all that you require, especially if you are limited by space. However, if you intend to use your oven for not just pizza, but also roasts, breads, large family feasts, then you should consider the FVR & TOP 100 or 120. The larger ovens have wider openings and also a larger cooking capacity. The TOP Series is great if it's temperature control you are after. With a ceramic door and built in temperature gauge, this could be ideal for you.

2. The Space You Have Available

How much space do you have for your pizza oven? If you have limited space, the FVR 80 would be the perfect choice needing on ly 1.2 x 1.2m. It's small enough to fit into a court yard or on a balcony. If space is not an issue, then any of our wood fired ovens would be fine.

 

3. Where and with what the oven is made

Are you looking for an Italian made 'cotto' clay oven? All Vesuvio Wood Fire Oven cooking floors are 100% made in Italy from ‘cotto’ clay from the hills of Tuscan. They have been made this way for more than 65 years. Vesuvio ovens cooking floors are made from 'cotto' clay and not concrete. Concrete ovens do not retain heat as well as a clay oven, which means you will use more fuel to keep temperature and produce good cooking results and they tend to crack.  Vesuvio Wood Fire Ovens come with a 3 year warrenty and are build to last!

4. The Type of Fuel You Will Use

Do you want to use wood or gas? People naturally think wood fired ovens are for wood only.  However, as people become more conscious about the environment and emissions, gas is being used more to fuel wood fired ovens. Gas or wood can be used in all Vesuvio Wood Fire Ovens. If you wish to, you can use a combination of both.  Gas is a cost effective and convenient way of to use your oven, with very low emissions.  Rest assured however, when using the right wood and the oven to manufacturers guidelines, our ovens are in fact carbon neutral.

5. After Sales Service
