Neapolitan Family Ovens

Our Neapolitan Family outdoor ovens are wood-fired ovens used in traditional Italian cooking. This oven is named after the region of Naples, Italy where they have been used for centuries. This is one of our favorite ovens because it is designed to be used with wood fuel and typically has a large, flat cooking surface. It is also known for its dome shaped top.  More specifically, besides being a great looking oven its built with 3mm of molded steel on the out side and inside making it a truly heavy duty  oven.

Backyard Brick Ovens provides customers with tools, an outdoor cover, and a stand when they purchase the Neapolitan Family Oven. The design allows for easy mobility within an outdoor kitchen and has heavy-duty stainless steel to provide longevity. 4 casters tools and outdoor cover  with free shipping!

Extra Large Ovens

The extra-large outdoor ovens are specially designed for customers who want more functionality out of the oven. Customers with families or who enjoy hosting get-togethers will find pleasure in this large outdoor wood fired pizza oven.

When using an extra-large brick oven it will take about 35 minutes to heat well. We recommend that you start the fire on the center of the  floor and use only hard kiln dried hard wood. The best wood is oak because it burns hot and last longer. But like any wood it must be dry otherwise it will make smoke and wont be a good cooking fire or experience.   Get the fire going and keep the vent on open. Once you see the fire lit well  close the door and let the fire continue to burn , adding wood as needed.  The secret is to get the floor hot first. Then push the coals over to the left  Be sure to use the paralegne- wood holder this lets the wood burn better and keeps the floor area cleaner . Put it on top of the bed  of coals add a piece of wood or two let that ignite close the door until it dies down a bit. Then you should be ready to rock the pizza world.

More Backyard Brick Oven Tips!  

Remember practice makes perfect so when your cooking your first pizza you might burn the side or the top. I always tell people to have a few pizza doughs extra and put some sauce on them so they can practice first. No need to burn you pizza and not have any on the first shot!

Use Semolina number one (Durham flour)  on your pizza peel Semolina number one is a flour and is granular and yellows it make the pizza come off the peel easy. It’s also what all  pasta is made from . You can also push your dough in it as well it will create a unique flavor and texture instead of regular flour. Semolina Flour

Start with a smaller Fire.   Get use to the top heat and moving your pizza around. Once your pizza is in the oven let it rise a minute or 30 seconds ,  and then try to move it carefully while sliding the peel in .  You want to make sure the bottom is cooking so you don’t rip the pizza. Practice turning the pizza by putting the peal in and out.  

Always use granite or (a steel table)  because granite can take the heat!  

Our outdoor ovens can be built into a kitchen counter, or they can be purchased as a stand-alone unit. The larger the brick oven, the more heat that it can retain,  and the easer it is to manage pizza cooking.  The extra space makes it ideal for those who require larger cooking and baking areas.

Our ovens are also incredibly durable. The brick and steel walls can withstand extreme temperatures and the ranges can last for years with proper maintenance. This makes them an ideal choice for commercial out door  kitchens that need a reliable, high-quality oven.

Countertop Ovens

Backyard Brick Ovens countertop oven is a great way to bring a little bit of the old-world charm of brick ovens into your outdoor kitchen. One of the great features of countertop brick ovens is their ability to move easily. This is great for those who don’t have a dedicated spot for a larger oven.  Or for those who may just want to move the oven around to different areas of the outdoor kitchen. Countertop brick ovens also offer a unique aesthetic to any kitchen. The rustic look of the oven adds a touch of character and charm to any space. Plus, the brick material is excellent for heat retention and insulation, ensuring that your food is cooked to perfection every time. Backyard Brick Oven also sells countertops that work with all our ovens and can be purchased separately or together.
