Our Products

Ovens

We believe that every pizza should be baked in a wood burning pizza oven. There is something special about pizza ovens that give pizzas a mouth-watering smoky flavour and authentic crunchy crust.

At Eco Pizza Ovens, we specialise in making residential, commercial, mobile and portable pizza ovens.

No matter what size, colour or type of pizza oven you need, we can make it.

Portable Ovens

Portable pizza ovens are handy for those who want the experience of a wood burning pizza oven without the commitment. Most pizza ovens are built directly onto your property. However, if you either don’t own your property or aren’t permanently settled there, you may worry about the permanence of a standard pizza oven. Similarly, if you don’t have a large outdoor entertainment area, you might not even have room for a traditional pizza oven! This is where portable pizza ovens come in handy.

Our Portable Eco Pizza Ovens are high-quality, handmade and come with a wheeled metal frame that perfectly fits the oven.

This option allows you to experience a proper pizza oven with the ability to bring it with you wherever you go. Portable pizza ovens can be useful for both residential and commercial purposes. They are convenient, affordable and mobile.

Mobile Ovens

Mobile ovens are a worthwhile investment for those who want to be able to cook pizzas on the go. Small businesses that operate out of trailers or outdoors oftentimes lack the kitchen space needed for their operations. Mobile pizza ovens fix that problem.

These ovens are custom-made and built on a wheeled trailer. They are extremely convenient because they do not lack any of the necessary features of a standard pizza oven, but they can be moved anywhere.

Our Mobile Eco Pizza Ovens come in a variety of colours and boast several handy storage compartments to hold pizza oven accessories. When you purchase a mobile pizza oven, you also receive a weight certificate given with the trailer.

These mobile ovens are not only convenient, but incredibly effective. They are all well insulated and feature thick domes and floors to ensure proper heat retention.

We also use solely natural products to build every custom mobile oven, so when you buy from us, you are helping both your business and the environment. 

Commercial Ovens

Brick built ovens are a useful asset for a variety of businesses. Restaurants and cafes alike can benefit from owning a handmade brick wood burning oven. Food cooks differently in wood burning ovens, which can help add flavour and could even help expand the menu!

Our commercial ovens are 100% custom and hand built. Every brick is cut individually to create a dome of 115 mm thickness. The oven’s floor is comprised of 76 mm firebrick and a 100 mm thick insulated floor base. The ovens are made of high quality bricks and are extremely well insulated. The stainless steel glue pipes, granite landing and thermal plaster finish all help to keep the heat inside the oven. The additional insulation, such as the lightweight concrete around the dome and the ceramic blanket, also work well to keep the heat contained. 

Residential Ovens

Residential pizza ovens are perfect for those who want to eat authentic pizza in the comfort of their own home. These ovens are well-built and easy to operate. You don’t need to be a chef to make your own delicious pizza in an Eco Pizza Oven. We offer two sizes for residential pizza ovens: the 70 cm inside diameter oven and the 90 cm inside diameter oven.

At Eco Pizza Ovens, we work very closely with both the architects and the builders who construct the ovens to guarantee that every oven comes out perfect. The architects consult with us to determine the best location for and size of the pizza oven, while the builders speak with us to determine the best natural products to use for its construction. Residential pizza ovens create delicious smoky-flavoured food and are great for family dinners or parties.

Accessories:

There are several essential accessories that should be purchased along with your pizza oven. Without these accessories, your pizza oven will be difficult to operate properly.

Oven Door

A pizza oven door is a crucial accessory. The purpose of an oven door is to control air circulation. When the door is closed, circulation is stopped and when the door is open, circulation is accelerated. 

While the door is typically kept off of a pizza oven while using flames to cook food, the door can come in handy when baking or roasting. 

Flue Pipe

A flue pipe is the pizza oven accessory that allows smoke and gasses produced by a fire to safely exit the oven.

In short, the flue pipe helps to ventilate the pizza oven. Without a flue pipe, the smoke will become trapped in the oven and can contaminate both the air and food.

Chinese Hat

Chinese hat is the term used to describe the shape of one type of cowl.

A chinese hat cowl operates in the same way as a traditional cowl- by regulating the temperature inside the pizza oven- but is in a shape that resembles a chinese hat. These are one of the most common types of cowls.

Pizza Spade

A pizza spade, also known as a pizza paddle, is the device used to pull the pizza out of the oven. By holding the handle and sliding the large flat paddle underneath the pizza, it will lift up your pizza easily.

Unlike a conventional oven, you can’t reach into a pizza oven with oven mitts to retrieve the food. It must be removed from the oven with a large pizza spade.

Cowl

A cowl is a hood-shaped covering that goes on top of a flue pipe in a pizza oven.

The cowl increases the draft of the flue pipe, but prevents backflow. 

This can help keep the fire in the pizza oven burning for longer so you don’t need to continuously add wood.

Rake

In a pizza oven, you’re bound to have everything from pizza crumbs to ash left inside.

It’s crucial that you clean out your pizza oven to avoid contaminating future foods and to keep soot from gathering.

A pizza oven rake is designed to reach into all corners of your pizza oven to make sure that it’s spotless.

Thermometer

When cooking in a wood burning pizza oven, temperature is very important. Wood burning ovens tend to heat up quicker and to hotter temperatures than conventional ovens. Because each type of food should be cooked for a specific amount of time at a specific temperature, it’s crucial to know how hot the oven is.

While flames cook pizza much more effectively, it isn’t as easy to regulate the temperature in a pizza oven as it is in a conventional oven. Therefore, a durable stainless steel thermometer is needed to be placed inside the oven.
