Welcome

The summer of 2014 is coming to a close, with vacations wrapping up and back-to-school days here. As we begin to look toward the fall season, the Forno Bravo team has quite a bit in the works for our wood-fired oven community.

One of the items we are hard at work on is our new Certified Installer Program. Read a little more about this below. We're hoping our contractor friends and oven owners can help us build out this helpful new resource.

We're also excited about expanding our collection of wood-fired recipes via the Forno Bravo Community Cookbook and other sites. See the update below to learn how you can win a free Vera Pizza Napoletana kit for your recipes!

We've included news about our Bella Outdoor Living stainless steel pizza ovens to the right. If you've been waiting for a bigger Bella oven, you're in luck!

Be sure to visit Pizza Quest. There is a wonderful segment by Bob Radcliffe titled the Rocky Ford Tomato Pie series and new recipes by Brad English.

We hope you'll stay in touch with us via the Forno Bravo Forum, Facebook, Pinterest and our other online sites. Or you can always just call us at (800) 407-5119.

Here's to relishing those final days of summer with some fabulous dishes from your oven.

New Certified Installer Program

At Forno Bravo, we want your entire wood-fired oven experience to be as enjoyable as possible – and that includes the installation! So we're very pleased to announce our new Certified Installer Program.
 
The objective of this new program is to provide Forno Bravo customers with quick and easy access to a qualified installation professional to design, install and/or maintain your oven.

  • Professional contractors who have installed a Forno Bravo oven: Please apply for our Certified Installer Program by emailing support@fornobravo.com. Include photos if you want to brag!
  • Satisfied customers: If you are pleased with the service/results, we encourage you to recommend the contractor you used for your oven installation. Simply email us at support@fornobravo.com with the contractor's information and we'll take it from there. 

View our current Dealer Network, which identifies the services our partners supply (e.g., oven sales, demonstrations, design, permitting, installation, servicing, whether residential, commercial or mobile catering).
