Caesar Salad Pizza by
Chef Bart
This bright pizza option is a light and delicious twist on a classic. With a pizza dough base, homemade pesto sauce, and caesar salad topping that is added after baking, it is like having a salad on a large, fresh, warm crouton. You can even hand-toss the salad tableside for a bit of extra flair prior to serving.

A Bold Build for a Big Space
|
|
In our earlier blog, we showed the fun ways you can use mosaic tile for an interesting, artsy oven finish. Diane Bennink and her family went a different direction with their Casa2G pizza oven kit. They used brick, reclaimed barnwood, and a variety of stone types to create an interesting and engaging finish with a more industrial flair. It has that extra sense of “presence” that fits perfectly with their open concept entertaining area. Check it out in this quick video!

Residential Ovens for Every Setting
|
|
|
At Forno Bravo, we think that every person and every size family deserves the fun of having a pizza oven that fits their lifestyle and space. That’s why we created both the simple, compact Primavera for quick heat-up times and baking 1-2 pizzas at once, and also the custom-tiled, supersized Vesuvio oven for those who prefer larger meals and gatherings. Looking for smooth stucco or glossy, glass tile? Small or large cooking floor? Wood or gas? Both types of ovens are sure to please! The question is not which model is better, but which model is better for you.
