We know that you have a choice when selecting a pizza oven, and that it can be confusing sorting out different claims. To keep things simple, here are ten good reasons why Forno Bravo sells the World's Finest Pizza Ovens.
1. High-Tech Refractory Material delivers great Oven Performance.
Our ovens are constructed using a sophisticated refractory material that delivers dramatically better oven performance than alternatives built using old-fashioned "Tuscan clay" or terra cotta. Using advanced thermal engineering, we combine refined alumina with tempered, woven silica ceramics to create the world's most sophisticated ovens. High tech meets the 2,000 year old brick oven.
Unlike other producers, who use less-expensive, lower-grade materials for their residential ovens and high-end material for their commercial ovens, every Forno Bravo refractory oven uses the same great material. This is very important to your oven performance. But, what does "oven performance" mean?
2. The World's Fastest Heat up Time
Our ovens are ready to cook in as little as 40 minutes -- not much longer than the time it takes to light charcoal. We have cooked in pizza ovens made in France (the ones that look like Darth Vader), and they take at least an hour and a half to heat up. We think that a slow heat up time can be the difference between using your oven on a beautiful weekday evening -- and simply not having enough time to fire your oven.
3. Great Heat Retention
Our commercial ovens hold their temperature at a remarkable 500F overnight. Remember that our residential ovens use the same material, which means they are great at both cooking pizza all night, and at baking and roasting. You don't need to burn a lot of wood firing your oven, and you can bake an oven full of bread with only 7-8 pieces of wood. In fact, our ovens are 30% more wood fuel efficient than traditional ovens.
4. A Complete Line of Oven Types and Sizes
Our Casa line is the Ultimate wood-fire oven engine, offering easy customization; our Premio line offers premium features that you can't find anywhere else; and our Artigiano true brick ovens are unique. With sizes ranging from 31" to over 72" (that's six feet), we have the oven you need.
5. The Security of Buying Italy's Most Popular Oven
Our ovens are made by Italy largest (and best) Refractory Oven Producer -- they hold a remarkable 60% share of that crowded market. You know you are in very good company when you purchase a Forno Bravo oven.
6. Breakthrough Price/Performance
There is no reason for anyone to pay the crazy prices some importers have charged for a pizza oven in the past. Our ovens cost much less than the traditional alternatives -- almost half in some cases -- despite the fact that our ovens are the premium brand in Italy. Why do we offer such low prices? Our goal is to make the pizza oven as popular in the U.S. and Britain as it is in Italy, and we are going to reach that goal by making it easy for you to install the World's Best Pizza Oven at your house.
7. A Real Refractory Vent Assembly
Some refractory ovens come with either no vent assembly, or an inexpensive steel vent. Why? Because they are less expensive to make. Our Casa and Premio ovens come with real Refractory Vent assemblies for long, worry-free use.
8. A Great Oven Tool Set with Every Oven
All our ovens come with a high-end, Italian-made Pizza Oven Tool set, including a large peel, small peel with slide, oven brush and rack. These are premium tools that can be expensive, and hard to find in American. Our pizza tool producer even sponsors the Italian national pizzaiolo acrobatics team.
9. Forno Bravo Cooking
Our Brick Oven Cooking site is the best in the world (or at least in English). We have built a catalog of recipes created specifically for brick ovens, and we feature great chefs, bakers and food writers who share our passion for brick oven cooking.
10. We Love Brick Ovens
We have built brick ovens from scratch, we created the Pompeii Oven, we have created products that make it easier for you to install your oven, we have scoured Italy for the best pizza ovens, pizza tools and chefs -- and most of all, we love to cook in our own brick ovens. We want to help you enjoy this great way of cooking.
