Wood-Fired Pizza Ovens
Wood-Fired Pizza Oven FAQ
Can I cook anything other than pizza in these ovens?
Yes — once up to temperature, wood fired pizza ovens from both Igneus and Clementi are well suited to roasting meat and vegetables, baking bread, and grilling, not just pizza.
How long does a wood fired pizza oven take to heat up?
Most wood fired pizza ovens reach cooking temperature in 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the model and how well the fire is built. Once up to temperature, a stone-baked pizza typically cooks in 60 to 90 seconds.
What's the difference between Igneus and Clementi wood fired ovens?
Igneus ovens are handmade in Portugal with a focus on fast heat-up and consistent cooking performance, particularly in the Pro and Ceramiko Pro ranges built for high-volume use. Clementi brings over 40 years of Italian craftsmanship and a patented Air Plus System for even heat distribution. Both produce genuinely excellent wood-fired results — the choice often comes down to size, budget, and personal preference on styling.
Do I need any special skills to use a wood fired pizza oven?
Not really, though there's a learning curve compared to gas. Building and managing the fire takes a little practice, but most people get comfortable within a few uses. If you'd rather skip that learning curve entirely, a dual fuel or gas pizza oven removes the fire-management step.
