fantastic purchase at the clearance price. I'm still pinching myself at how cheap I got this for! , this Alfa Moderno does not let you down with build quality. this unit is gorgeous and extremely well made. extremely heavy for such a small oven. 80lbs. if you can grab this at the Nov 2024 sale price, you can not go wrong. there is no other pizza oven on the market that can touch this at this blow out sale price. in 50 degree weather, preheating oven for 1 hour my stone temp lazered at 850degrees. perfect for neo pizzas. for any other pizza this oven will be up to a lower suitable temp in 20-30 min. the fit and finish of this oven is second to none. fantastic oven . Alfa quality is 2nd to none. I held off for the longest time purchasing a pizza oven because , well, most of the ovens under $1,000 just look like cheaply built toasters and the ones I like were simply out of my budget. This Alfa is a great oven.period.

I have had my Alfa Moderno for a year as of this writing. I chose this model as it is both beautiful and it has brick oven refractory stone as the base. All other portables that I was able to research have a much thinner base stone and therefore need to be reheated after every pizza. The oven is well insulated, holding heat very well without getting hot on the outside. The unit is advertised as able to reach 932F. The best I have gotten is 800f after an hour of preheating. But, because of the thicker stone base, it holds 750f at the base very well and I typically cook 24+ pizzas in a row at parties with no issues. My cook time on a 67% hydration dough is about 3 minutes and I am getting a nice crunchy crust on top and bottom. The oven is big enough to cook a 12" pizza. 11" seems to be the sweet spot with a 250g dough ball. I cooked alongside another popular brand portable at one of our parties and the pizza had to be constantly turned on that one (Oo)(ni) to keep it from burning, where the Alfa Moderno has enough space to allow the pizza to cook evenly without burning, turning the dough at about the minute mark and again at the two minute mark, then I turn down the flame for the last 60 seconds to make sure the crust is nice and crisp. Once I take out the pizza, and turn the flame back up to full to keep the stone hot for the next pizza, usually about 2 minutes later. I was a bit peeved that the product pictures showed a carrying bag but it does not come with it, nor could I find where to purchase one. Alfa clearly needs some better product line management in the USA, but the product is good.

great pizza oven. I have made about 100 pizzas over the course of 6 months and it's holding up great. this pizza oven works fantastic. it was packaged well with no issues. comparable. the wall of oven is the thickest to all its major cometitiors like ooni, solo stove and gozney.

More than expected. Being Italian, knowing who produce it , and after watched few reviews from napoletan pizzaioli made in Caserta and Napoli, I told myself I am ready to buy it! First pickup arrived damaged in the front left bottom corner, they replaced it and the portable arrived after 3 days. Great customer service. The oven reached the temp in 30minutes according to the gauge temp but the klinker was still not hot enough so I had to wait 30 minutes more but after that, the stone was over 380 celsius…the oven performed excellent, check the pictures about the result. I recommend this oven to a friend. Btw, unbeatable price considering the quality of this oven since it is not a toy like what you get around from competitors. Trust me.

Well constructed. Easy to assemble. Attractive oven that entice. My guests to want pizza. Should have bought a larger oven to meet the demand.
