Fontana Forni brings the Italian wood-fired oven out of the masonry wall and into the outdoor kitchen. The company calls itself the inventor of the metal outdoor Italian wood-fired pizza oven, and the whole line follows from that idea: real fire, built to be lived with outside.
The range reaches well past a single oven. Wood-fired, gas, and hybrid gas-and-wood models sit alongside smart temperature-controlled and countertop versions, so the fire can be as traditional or as managed as the cook wants.

Fontana Forni ovens are one hundred percent made in Italy, backed by more than forty years of the family's oven-building, and the construction is where that shows. The cooking chamber is built in 441 stainless steel, and the dome is protected by the brand's Endurotech Fire Shield, engineering meant to take real wood heat year after year.
An oven like this is bought for the ritual as much as the result: live flame, the rise of a Neapolitan-style crust, cooking done in front of the people you are feeding. It is an outdoor-kitchen centerpiece, and it rewards being seen at full size rather than in a brochure.
Wood-fired, gas and hybrid: choosing the fire
The decision that shapes the rest of the plan is the fuel. A wood-fired oven gives live flame and the ritual of managing it, and it needs a dry place to keep and stack wood and a clear view of flue and smoke. A gas oven starts quickly and is easier to run on a weeknight. A hybrid gives both, and suits clients who cannot decide. Fontana Forni covers all three, so the choice can follow the household's habits rather than the other way round.
Where a Fontana Forni oven sits in the outdoor kitchen
The oven is usually the visual anchor, which means its finish, base and distance from the grill are design decisions, not afterthoughts.
on a base or cart, easy to place on a terrace.
set into a masonry or cabinet enclosure.
a smaller footprint for a compact space.
check the installation sheet for distance to combustibles and the flue.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose a wood-fired, gas or hybrid oven?
Wood gives live flame and needs a dry place for wood and a clear flue; gas starts quickly and suits weeknights; a hybrid gives both. Choose by how the household will actually cook.
Where should an outdoor pizza oven sit in the plan?
Treat it as the visual anchor. Settle its base, its distance from the grill and the flue clearance before the terrace or masonry is built.
Does a countertop oven make sense in a compact space?
A countertop model gives a smaller footprint, while freestanding and built-in ovens suit larger terraces. Check the installation sheet for clearances in every case.
Can I see Fontana Forni at the Design Gallery in Roseville?
Floor selections change, so ask the team before you visit. We can talk through oven placement with your drawings in any case.
