the finest wood-fired ovens for backyard chefs
how we build best in class wood-fired ovens
Terraforno builds high-quality, hand-built traditional wood-fired ovens that deliver unmatched looks, performance & durability. we design & build our ovens based on industry standard principles, the best quality materials & workmanship. Our oven design has been in use over over 30 years with thousands of happy customers.
no matter which oven you choose, our process ensures the build of a very SOLID & heavily insulated oven that is designed to cook amazing, be easy to use & look great for many years.
Terraforno ovens are built with the very best materials available – we start with a cast molded ultra-pure refractory cement oven core which is set on a 3″ refractory “sub-floor” together the flooring acts as a “heat battery” for the oven, providing consistent temperatures & recovery time.
Note: We feel this is an important aspect to include that cheaper ovens don’t have & unfortunately, the quality suffers. if its not heavy its not good! The oven is completed with a layer of premium ceramic insulation & an additional 4″ of hand-layered refractory mortar. the oven is either painted (can be re-painted) or finished with a beautiful hand laid imported mosaic tile.

we use the traditional italian neapolitan oven design which is oval shaped with a slight slope from the oven front to back. This allows for more efficient use of wood & delivers more consistent temperatures in the oven which will make it easier to manage your fire & produce excellent food.
the oval shape of our ovens allows for more cooking space inside vs round oven wood-fired oven designs.
this design allows for Our largest oven, the maggiore, to have over 2,000 square inches of cooking space (our mezzo has over 1,500 square inches). more room is more comfortable to cook & allow for more food to be cooked but you can also cook other things like breads or roasting meats/vegetables using pans/pots.
