How to Use a Wood Fired Pizza Oven 

This is the best video on the Internet how to use a wood fired pizza oven. You have made me a pizza superstar

This has to be the best instructional video on how to use a wood fire pizza oven. A simple flawless video. I never thought to heat up the timbers (extra) before throwing them onto the flame. This has been a game changer! Thanks

Roberto, you are a legend. Seriously mate, the beginner's guide on a wood fire pizza oven on how to do it, step by step. Thank you for that. I'm looking at getting one myself in the future.

One the best how to videos I think I’ve ever seen on RU-vid. Great work.

You have become a star of our household and neighbors!!! We just purchased a house that came with a pizza oven and thought we would have a party to try it out. I'm a terrible cook but this video made me look like a star. Thanks again. We're off to try your roast video next

Thank you, I learn couples of points. 1. start the fire from 1 size to heat up, then move to another size. 2. Pre-heat the wood for cook pizza. 3. Leave the pizza staying for the original place you put in.

Great video! Just bought a house with a pizza oven so now I’m trying to learn and use it. Thanks!

Just bought a home with a pizza oven and been looking for these exact instructions! Thank you!

Thanks Roberto. Awesome learnings for me. I'll be in touch personally in about 12 months as we are about to build a new house. One of your forno pizza ovens will be the jewel in my entertaining area.

Great video! Just the info needed, no big long story. Love it. Thankyou!

This was so informative! I’m now ready to cook! Thanks 😊

Hey thanks to this video we have amazing first pizza day in our new oven we follow your steps amd all came to plan . I think is important to mentioned that the oven provably will be good idea to cure it before using it for first time by light fire 2 or 3 times at not extremely hot temp. We notice that took really long to get white dome however the weather was really low here in the uk so the conclusion is if you using the oven in the winter provably need start the fire 4 hours on advance if is summer 2 hours like this video . Thanks a lot 👍👍👍

Best tutorial video ever. Straight to the points. Thank you sir.

Thanks mate bought a house with one of these and needed to learn how to use it . Best tutorial

Just got a brick oven for our summer , laugh, but video shows the extra fun in cooking nice one. Tim

Thank you for your video and greetings from Fremantle WA! We have just had a pizza oven built at our new home and your video was informative and helpful. Looking forward to cooking roasts, bread, pizzas and lots of other things in this wonderful pizza oven!

Wow brilliant vid don't need to watch any more just got my pizza oven built looka alot of fun 👍

Great content! Very informative. I'm heading to a camp site that has a wood fired oven and this makes me feel alot better about how to utlize the oven.

Great video! Thanks so much for all of the tips and tricks. Can't wait to put everything you've shown me into action!

Thanks for this video - its been a great help.

Fantastic video. I’m staying in an air bnb that has an oven similar to yours an am going to use it tonight. I love my gas pizza oven and am excited to try my hand at wood!

Awesome tutorial and that's exactly how its done! Considering that i'm always busy and pressured for time I rarely use my brick oven and I bought a metal pizza oven. The pizza results are identical to the brick oven thats fueled with wood or coal (even brick oven pizzerias will use wood or coal for show and get the fast heat from gas). The oven i have is called Pizza Party and its made in Firenze Italy. The oven is built well and it can be used with either wood or propane and used for home or small commercial business. I always use propane because the oven reaches cooking temperature in about 20 minutes and there is no soot to clean. The oven is used a lot and it looks brand new. Iv'e also realized that pizza doesn't know the difference whether its fueled on wood or gas and that's why the taste is identical to wood or coal fired fuel. Pizza is cooked in under 2 minutes at 900F. The only way wood or charcoal would make a difference is when cooking foods at medium/low temperature at slow speeds.

Brilliant, thanks Roberto!

Great tip putting the wood 🪵 in to heat up.

NICE WORK!

Great video! That pizza looks delicious!!

Very helpful. Thank you!

Great video, thank you for posting.

Got some great tips here. Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 👍

awesome video. I feel like I learned a lot .

Super helpful, thank you!!!

Impressive. I would get VERY fat experimenting with that oven.

Thanks for the lesson, very helpful :)

Beautiful pizza and very informative video

Great video and thank you for sharing

SO helpful - thankyou 🩵🙏🩵

Thanks! I needed this info!

I smell and tast it! Great! Love it.

Spot on mate. I am going to build a pizza oven in the back garden and this has helped plenty. One thing I am worried about is smoke annoying our neighbours. With burning wood do you find this a problem?

Great video . I need a temp gun

This is great - thank you. I have been wanting to know for about a month. I cannot wait to try our clubs oven after this. Thank you for including the timing and showing us the whole process

Thank you, Roberto. This video was extremely helpful as we just built a pizza oven and it's ready for our first pizza over the holidays. My question is, did you use raw dough or precooked dough? Do you have any tips on how to prepare the oven for it's first cook? Thank you!

Very nice video I loved it nice pizza💕

Great video. Thanks for sharing

I'd love a wood fired oven but it seems too much hassle for such a quick cook. Wouldn't you get the same results with a pizza stone on a bbq? Great video though. Very informative.

Great video mate... love your work all you need now is a cold beer 🙂

Great video! I used the technique of moving the timbers from one side to another but I have been having difficulty getting the bottom of the pizza cooked thoroughly. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

Very nice oven really liked n I want to know n the floor is of iron or just nice bricks??? What kind of floor is nice and durable hope u will tell that....

great video! what do you do once you're done baking pizzas, do you let the fire burn out? Any tips on cleaning up the over afterwards? Thanks!

Merci monsieur bonjour de la France 👍

Where’d you get that big ole circle on a stick???? I want one :D

Fantastic video! What brand pizza peel are you using. I'm in the market for a good sturdy one

Thank you Roberta. We just found you after buying a clay oven last weekend and having such a disaster so now we are excited to give it another go tonight. What was the implement you had the pizza on when you put it in the oven, it slid straight off of it. One of our problems was actually getting the pizza off the paddle but part of that was having too much topping.

Indonesia nyimak, Aku suka !

Great video very informative. I’ve tried and failed 3 times trying to get it right. I have a question in relation to a lot of smoke coming from my oven. I notice you have barely any smoke. Mine looks like the house is on fire. Any ideas?

Newbie here. Is the initial stacking of wood four logs with kindling/egg cartons to light? Cheers

Absolutely loved the video, what kind of size is your pizza oven?

Awesome

Thanks you sir

Hi Roberto, just a question on the wood. I tried using Red Gum from the servo. It smokes a lot. I like your idea on putting the wood in the oven first to dry it. This was my first attempt. My fire wasn't as big as yours. I got a temp of 250 C in the dome and 200 C on the floor. Do you get your wood from somewhere specific? ....or do you just make sure its well seasoned before use? My oven is new and not seasoned. Im reading that it has to be well seasoned (mortar fully dried) before I get the big temps you talk about...400-450 C.

any suggestions on placement of thermometer. and should the metal be inside edge of brick or deeper?

Just finished building mine. What wood do you recommend to use and to avoid in Australia?

Super Cool. Thank you for showing how it works. I am new to this and i want to cook a whole lamb in the oven. Any idea as to how long it would take?

Whats the size inside ?

Excellent 🪵🔥🍕

I dont understand the point of heating up the floor all to cool it down with a damp wet rag.

I wish the audio was clear it would be a better video

I could smell the wood and pizza from here. I'm watching this at 4am. why.

That’s a longgggggg time to start a fire 🔥?

Wood fired pizza? How’s pizza gonna get a job now

Someone told me for Heating the oven needs maximum 4 hours

That's a lot of work/time for just a pizza, lol.

dude didnt even show the pizza being cut or anything...

I can't believe NYC banned these things. Might as well just kick NYC out of the country at this point, you know?

What the big deal about PIZZA? Dough, tomato sauce mozzarella cheese small olive oil big deal peasant food

looks crap

Too much work...

can you use pine in pizza oven

I was wondering, ever concerned of spiders and webs etc? For having a oven outdoors?

Thank you for some simple, and clear instructions ~ staying at an AirBnB with an outdoor wood oven. Happy to give it a red hot go now

Been planning on building one of these but got to admit I don't know how to cook in one, thanks👍👍

Absolutely brilliant ,I've got an oven but have struggled with it .Your brilliant Video has gave me a lot of good advice ..

when you took the Pizza out of the oven...... I think it moved. lol

Really great video!! I've just completed my oven. Watched lots of how to build it but none on how to cook a pizza in it. First night I used it invited the whole family over. Pizzas was a disaster. But, everyone still had great fun! You just taught me all the mistakes I made! Can't wait till Friday night to have another go at it! Thanks again!!

Brilliant informative video

You are obviously an expert. Thanks for your great video.

Thanks mate, great explanation and demo. Cheers from the Hunter Valley.

That look at 8:02 like a kid at Christmas! Love the vid bro

Love all your videos....cause of you I purchased the ALFA Ciao....& learning how to bake a pizza. Love it.

Awesome video!!! Just something I learnt from another pizza chef is when you turn the pizza bring it out the oven to the front turn then place back on same stone. But great video sir thanks!!

It was too got because you put a fresh log onto the fire just as you began your pizza. There should be no flames when your cooking just red hot coals

I will build one of these for my mom with the clay from our land. 😌

You sound like you are having great weather

thanks for posting! great tips.i cook in a WFOven and enjoyed your efforts.
