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

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

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

thank you. I had not seen how all these brick oven build videos actually make a fire and cook a pizza! You clearly show key things. I have 2500 bricks that used to be a brick making kiln. once the temp here gets above -34 C I will build an oven. Wife is from taranto italy and misses the brick pizza ovens. Thank you again.

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

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

The right place to cook a pizza! Well done!

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.

I have already built my handmade woodoven and i m ready to learn the secrets of making Pizza. Nice!!!

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

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

Got some great tips here. Thank you!

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

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.

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

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

Very helpful. Thank you!

Brilliant, thanks Roberto!

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

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 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!

Everything I needed to know Thank You!

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

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!!

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

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

Thanks it worked perfectly!

Terrific. Thanks. Long after we've had an oven (for both bread & pizza) I'm just going through vids now for tips and tricks. I've used a mop to clean but like your using peel & wet rag better! Also, looks like most folks have fire to side -- another good hint! I've always had it in back but will try side now. But, I like the floor a little hotter for a crisper crust then, at the end, raise the pizza to dome for ~10 seconds or so to crisp it up and get even melting to cheese. Thanks again!

Super helpful, thank you!!!

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 👍

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

Top clip, thank you! That pizza looked great. Those tips will make a big difference to the outcome of my pizza tonight. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks for the lesson, very helpful :)

Top stuff, mate. Just got an oven and kinda messed up the first try. Now I can come back armed with your tips.

nothing better on a cold rainy day then a nice fire and pizza..well done mate

Thanks! I needed this info!

Really good, concise video. Thanks. The pizza looks great. Your oven and surrounding area look nice and clean.

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

Absolutely brilliant

Thanks man, starting a business and this was very helpful.

Great, I wanted to understand the fire thing, will try soon. Thanks.

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!

Brilliant advice thanks 👍🇬🇧🇦🇺

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

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.

Thank you so much for excellent informations and tips.🙏👍👌🙏

Just picked myself up a pizza oven from Bunnings for 1000 bucks. I’ve cooked four pizzas in there and have all taste better than your average franchise shop down the street. I have always had my flames to the back, but it makes much more sense having the flames on either side, and I’ve learnt that when it’s ready to cook the dough more then go white. Keen to try this this evening

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 👍👍👍

Great video, thank you for posting.

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!!

Thx for the tips mate, I didn’t realise I’d been doing it wrong

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

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

Nice video Roberto !! Thanks

Awsome video mate. thankyou

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.

Thanks mate, Your my pizza poppy hero😂

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

Great video and thank you for sharing

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

Great tip putting the wood 🪵 in to heat up.

Awesome video - best tutorial on woodier ovens

thanks, I learned a lot from you on this video

I smell and tast it! Great! Love it.

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for this video - its been a great help.

Beautiful pizza and very informative video

Thank you

Excellent video have been staying at a friend's for the week with a pizza oven. Wish I had found this video earlier. Perfect tutorial have subscribed now. Hello from sunny Cornwall in the UK. 😁

Merci monsieur bonjour de la France 👍

that was great, thank you so much for the video

NICE WORK!

Great content delivered, thanks heaps buddy

Brilliant informative video

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.

awesome video. I feel like I learned a lot .

Great video! That pizza looks delicious!!

Really enjoyable and informative thank you. Also at an air bnb with a pizza oven - ours is in Crete- v keen to give it a go now

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

Thanks you sir

u the man

Great Video learnt more thaan expected just what i wanted, Thank You!!

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

Very nice video I loved it nice pizza💕

Awesome

Hot damn that looks good....

Great video mate I bet your pizza is delicious

Indonesia nyimak, Aku suka !

Great video, you’ve inspired me to get a wood fired pizza oven as well.

Good instruction, Thank you! Quick question I noticed you have a covering behind your pizza oven, is it ok for the pizza oven to be under a roof and has a covering behind it? I'm wondering about the smoke that comes out from its chimney. I just bought a movable outdoor pizza oven and I'm trying to figure out where to station it in my backyard. Of course I want it under our patio roof so if the sun is out and hot I have some shade. Would it be ok?

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.

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!

Great video - I follow all the steps in my oven (Calabrese Entertainer - installed Dec 2021, Sydney, cured twice and full fire twice) but no matter how long I fire it I can’t get the floor to reach a temperature higher than 230c (though the dome will get to 477c and turn white). Even when I test the temperature of the floor immediately after moving the fire it’s not higher than 230c, and there is very little heat retention after. Dome also turns black shortly after the flames die down. I am using double split iron bark, firing time of at least 3hrs. Any ideas what it could be / I am doing wrong?

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!

Hi Roberto, Great video thanks. I note you have very little smoke coming out the front, do you have a rear flew? (I can see a stainless pipe in the back of the video, but unsure if this is a post of your patio. Also, if starting from a cold oven (25 °C as I’m in Cairns) how long should I burn the first stage for before moving the fire. Kind Regards Leon

جميل

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!

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.

Total pro I've worked with pizza chef's with less skill and knowledge. Cheers mate

5:20 - The best I've ever heard anyone say "pizza."
