Problem
Many outdoor pizza ovens struggle to maintain high temperatures and evenly cook toppings while imparting an authentic wood-fired flavor. Users often have to choose between the convenience of gas and the superior taste of wood-fired cooking.
Solution
Bertello offers outdoor pizza ovens with patented SimulFIRE technology, enabling users to cook with gas and wood simultaneously. The gas burner heats the oven to over 900 degrees Fahrenheit in under 20 minutes, while the wood-burning tray, positioned above the gas burner, infuses the pizza with a smoky wood-fired flavor. This design ensures consistent temperatures and evenly cooked toppings, delivering a restaurant-quality pizza experience in any backyard. The ovens feature a heat-trapping design to maintain high temperatures and are constructed from carbon/stainless steel for durability.
