Recently my Chef bough these new beautiful twins!! I fell in love with them from the second I saw them. The Fornoteca pizza oven is a game changer, high quality pizza in 2 minuets. Even Delissio doesn't have shit on this beauty! Butane operated, burning at 35,000 BTU's around 1400C, with a spinning heating stone sitting on a cast iron plate, helping ensure even heat distribution Dough's and ingredients to make the pizzas with. Making my first pizza in this new beauty!! and a good shot of this baby in action! does that not make you wanna run out and buy pizza??!?! I do. but ill wait till I go to work on Friday to make one in two min. Since this awesomely bad ass pizza oven is not how pizza started, then how did it start?? and who started it?? some say Italy started pizza, others say China, truth is, its very difficult to know for sure where it originated from, but let take a look at the history of the pizza oven and see what we find. Ancient brick ovens can be located throughout Europe, often with little variation from the original Roman round, domed oven chamber and front vent design. In northern Europe, the ovens tended to be larger and the property of the local Lord—who owned both the oven and the heat inside it, and would charge the serfs for baking their bread. In Italy, where the feudal system took a less firm grip, the ovens tended to be owned by individual families and were smaller—which is the foundation for Italy’s modern pizza oven industry. Round ovens built from brick, and even local stone, have been built in Italy seemingly forever. Virtually every Tuscan farmhouse has, or had, an original brick or stone oven, and many are still being used today. Much later on, ovens and stoves were created in Victorian England during the industrial revolution, and signaled the use of metal for oven construction. The next development in pizza oven comes in the 1990s, with the creation insulating materials, these high-tech ovens greatly reduce heat-up time from 2-3 hours to about 45 minutes and have excellent heat holding characteristics. The final step in the evolution came with the mainstream use of modern ceramic insulation, which made pizza oven installation faster, easier and less expensive that ever before. Wood burning ovens are popular today in European homes, using techniques passed down through family usually for generations. Though wood burning stoves are a lot more work for a lot less heat control, you have a small fire pit enclosed on 3 sides with a metal top for heating, you have to constantly flan the flames to keep it hot and burning. since its open flame it will heat spots up on the metal plate before the whole plate is heated, meaning uneven heat distribution.
