The inside shell is made from volcanic clay from the Florence region in Italy, and the floor from specially sourced Italian clay, with a very high Alumina content, for excellent heat transfer and retention.
Then, there is a ceramic wool, for the basic insulation. Most importantly, there is a 200mm thick concrete and Vermiculite insulation around this, giving the perfect amount of heat retention!

If an oven is too small, you cannot cook your food properly as it will burn. If your oven is too large, it wastes a lot of energy. We've done a lot of experiments and trials and believe very strongly that the best solution is an oven with a 1 metre diameter inside.
We sell pizzas at shows and have used the same oven to cook over 5000 pizzas!
