Roma Grande Stainless Steel Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven Counter Top - 28" x 28" Cooking Area - ilFornino®

I've had the Roma Grande for just over a year now, and I feel like I'm to the point where I know it about as well as I will. It's been a great addition to our back yard and it cooks a great pie. In the first year, we've gone through two 55lb bags of flour, so it's seen a fair bit of use. I can get the floor up to 750F in about 35-45 minutes depending how quickly the fire takes off. This oven is deep, so there's plenty of room to cook two good sized pizzas at once. If you have a couple people making pizzas, one person can tend it and get them in and out in a couple minutes if you keep the fire raging. I can fire-roast peppers for the pizzas in about 10 minutes while it's heating up. It does a great job with breads, I commonly cook them after we're done with pizzas. Just be sure to let the floor cool down before you put them on. It holds heat well, with just a bed of coals and a little work on the damper, I've been able to keep it where it needs to be to do a good sized ham. Roast chicken is amazing; about the only thing we haven't done yet is the Thanksgiving turkey. Maybe this year. The only consideration I'd give is to the size smaller than this one. If only one person will be making the pies and cooking them, there's really no reason for the extra depth of this oven. If you'll be doing one pizza at a time, you just don't need this much space. I cannot properly utilize it unless I have someone helping to keep the pies coming. The other benefit to the smaller oven is that it would, presumably use less wood to fire. Not a big issue for me because I cut my own, but if you're buying wood, it could be a consideration. Overall very, very happy with this quality oven!

We purchased the Roma Grande pizza oven. We are extremely happy with both the product and the customer service. The entire process from answering questions before our purchase to the communication after ordering through deliver was outstanding. Not to mention the bonus that we were able to purchase a product made in the USA. We used our oven for the first time this weekend. We started by using premade dough from our local pizzeria. We had success from the first pie. We also made a small batch of pizza topped zucchini bites in a case iron skillet. They turned out amazing as well. We had so much fun cooking in the oven we made more the next day using fresh dough. We quickly learned the importance of using cornmeal on the peel. Other than being a little misshaped from sticking to the peel it was better than the first day. Can’t wait to fire it up again to try some other foods such as steak and fish. As much as we love the wood fired pizza our waistlines can only handle so much of a good thing :-)

Great oven, love the way my pizzas turn out

We read all the how-to videos and fired it up; the result was outstanding. Literally the pizzas we ate in Rome and Naples. It was fun and not hard at all to get the fire going and the oven hot. Cooked the pies in 90-seconds at 750 Fahrenheit. Definitely recommend this.
