Optimal Pizza Oven Dome Thickness

Right

The Forno Bravo pizza oven dome is cast using high-density, ultra-pure refractory and a two-sided, vibrated casting process to a minimum of 4″ for both outstanding high-temperature pizza baking and durability. Using sophisticated production methods and modern materials,we are able to accurately produce a massive, dense dome.

A Thin Dome Cannot Retain High Heat

Some ovens are based on a thinner dome and/or a lower grade refractory material and a lower quality one-sided casting process. The result is that the oven dome does not hold heat as efficiently for high heat baking, and wears out more quickly.
