The Turkish for preparing the finest types of Neapolitan ovens from Italy
Let me explain to you the ideal specifications of the oven if you plan to use it for a small pizza restaurant or a personal project 👇
⸻
🍕 Ideal specifications for the indoor oven are 140 and outdoor 175→.
• There are sizes ranging from 70 to 150 and higher
⸻
🔸 2. Materials
• Internal base:
Fire Brick or Lava Stone.
→ It retains heat and keeps it for a long time.
• Insulation:
A layer of fiber ceramic + rock wool between the inner and outer wall.
→ Prevents heat leakage and keeps the oven stable at one temperature.
• Exterior:
You can choose it in mosaic (like the one in the picture) or stainless steel for a professional look.
⸻
🔸 3. Fuel source
• Best option: Dual system (wood + gas).
→ Wood adds flavor, and gas helps you heat the oven quickly.
• If you want easier operation: gas only (but without the distinctive taste of wood).
⸻
🔸 4. Temperature
• Must reach 450–500 degrees Celsius.
→ This way the pizza comes out in about 90 seconds with an authentic Italian flavor 🔥
⸻
🔸 5. Chimney
• Should be of a good height (at least 1.5 meters or more).
• It has a smoke control damper to control the release of smoke and heat.
⸻
🔸 6. Weight and installation
• Its weight usually ranges between 600 to 900 kg.
• Requires a strong base made of concrete or iron (not suitable to place it on a weak surface).
⸻
🔸 7. Additional tips
• First use: Gradually heat it for 3 days (to prevent the stone from cracking).
• Use completely dry natural wood, with no moisture.
• Clean the ash daily to prolong its lifespan.
