Fontana Forni Margherita Wood-Fired Pizza Oven – Red – FTMAR-R
Ignite true Italian tradition with a burst of crimson flair. Hand-welded in Le Marche, the Margherita Red channels old-world wood-fire mastery into a vibrant powder-coated shell that storms past 900 °F in minutes. Park it on your patio countertop, feed the firebox a few seasoned logs, and serve leopard-spotted pies, sizzling skirt steaks, or crusty boules before your guests can say buon appetito.
Oven Key Features
🔥 Fire-In-Chamber Wood Cooking – Single-vault design bathes food in rolling flames, reaching 750 °F in ~30 minutes and peaking above 900 °F for authentic Neapolitan char.
🍕 576 sq in Refractory Stone Floor – A generous 24″ × 24″ cordierite slab stores heat evenly—room for two 10″ pizzas, a tomahawk steak skillet, or a sheet pan of roasted veggies.
🛡️ Double-Wall Steel + 12 cm Rock-Wool Insulation – Locks heat inside while the exterior stays safe to touch and shruggs off rain, salt air, and blazing sun.
🌬️ Stainless Chimney with Adjustable Cap – Fine-tune draft and smoke flow for richer wood flavor and razor-precise temperature control.
🌡️ Built-In Analog Thermometer – Glance-and-go monitoring keeps the door closed and the heat steady.
🪵 Removable Wood Holder & Stone Deck – Organize logs, swap stones for deep cleans in seconds, and keep ash out of your food zone.
✅ ETL Listed | 1″ Clearance to Combustibles – Safe placement on tight counters, carts, or built-ins with minimal spacing.
Even Heat Distribution: The unique cooking chamber design ensures uniform heat distribution, avoiding hot spots.
Corrosion Resistance: The electro-galvanized and powder-coated exterior provides excellent protection against corrosion.
Temperature Control: The stainless steel damper control allows for precise temperature control for maximum heat retention.
Energy Efficiency: The 12 centimeters of insulation surrounding the cooking chamber maximizes heat retention and cooking efficiency, reducing energy usage. On average, it consumes 5x less wood than a traditional ceramic pizza oven.

The Advantages of Fontana

Unique Features of Our Fontana Forni Outdoor Ovens

A POLISHED POWERHOUSE
A fully welded, bent-steel dome—powder-coated in weather-proof anthracite—stands up to rain, salt air, and sweltering summers while storing heat like a kiln. At 187 lbs in countertop trim, it’s hefty enough for stability yet light enough to reposition when you redesign your outdoor space.
COOKING SPACE TO SPARE
The 24″-square deck and 14″ interior vault welcome bubbling lasagna pans, bone-in tomahawks, beer-can chickens, or double pie night—plenty of room for creativity without crowding the stone.
OPTIMAL AIRFLOW
Pair the chimney’s variable cap with a precisely sized front door to draw fresh oxygen across the fire and sweep aromatic wood smoke over your food, delivering even browning and crave-worthy char in every bite.
PRECISION TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Rock-wool insulation, reflective steel walls, and a tight-sealing door let you cruise at 350 °F for slow-roasted porchetta, rebound instantly for 90-second pizzas, and hold stone heat for batch after batch—all while burning up to five times less wood than a brick dome of similar size.
Warranty: Two-year warranty against manufacturer defect. Four-year warranty on the dome of the cooking chamber.
