There are two ranges of commercial ovens, these are the GR & OT. The difference between them is the fact that the OT comes as a complete ready built unit (as shown right). It would only require a metal table to stand it on (see picture). We can offer the table as an accessory.

Whilst convenient from the perspective of not having to build the oven it is a very heavy and large single item to move so consideration must be given regarding access to the desired location and moving the item.

The GR ovens however, are supplied in sections and are built on site - this is clearly easier, if access is a problem. These ovens require a housing to be built around them when in situ, some examples of which are shown in the gallery pages. This housing holds the essential insulation materials in place, as well as adding aesthetic appeal.

Once the oven has reached temperature the time taken to cook a pizza is approximately 1 minute 30 seconds! With this in mind the most popular size of commercial oven is the OT/GR140 which can produce over 350 12" pizzas per hour when used properly.

The ovens are far more versatile than just for cooking pizzas, indeed anything that can be cooked on a barbecue or in a convential oven can be produced from this truly unique product.

What a feature to have in your restauran, pub or beer garden. To be able to offer your customers pizzas and other foods traditionally cooked from a truly authentic wood fired Tuscan oven.

Today Valoriani wood burning ovens are at the heart of the best pizzerias all over the world: from Canada to Australia. Where there is true pizza, there is a Valoriani oven.
