It should only take three to four minutes in a wood-fired pizza oven because of the high temperatures. Our pizza ovens are designed so that the entire pizza gets the heat evenly and is cooked at a very high temperature, which doesn’t happen in an ordinary oven.

Italian pizza ovens are also called masonry ovens.

Wood-fired pizza tastes better because the high heat and woodsmoke add a unique flavour and texture. The bottom of the crust cooks very quickly, giving it a delicious flavour and promptly seals in the moisture from the sauce so the crust does not become soggy.

The best woods to burn in your pizza oven in South Africa are hardwoods such as leadwood, oak, alder, maple, and birch. However, with Al Fresco Pizza Ovens’ exceptional heat retention, our ovens use much less wood.
