Refrattari Valoriani since 1890
AUTHENTICITY - TRADITION - PERFORMANCE

Italy defined pizza long ago but it was Refrattari Valoriani who defined the commercial pizza oven. When the pizzeria revolution started to take hold in the early 1970’s, the need for larger commercial grade ovens became clear. Refrattari Valoriani answered with a breakthrough design using the same principles developed decades earlier with their invention of the modular dome. Mugnaini Imports, Inc. is the exclusive Valoriani distributor for all of North Amercia.

MUGNAINI SERIES: Wood or Gas Fired Ovens
Factory Assembled in a variety of shapes

In the 1990s Mugnaini worked with engineers to duplicate the legendary performance of our masonry built pizza ovens using refractory castables and building them on metal stands. By building the ovens in our factory we are able to maintain high standards of craftsmanship and take full advantage of the quality materials available in the US. Mugnaini ovens ship fully assembled in a contractor friendly form for easy build outs. However, if access is an issue we can ship the oven in kit form.

VALORIANI VERACE: the first gas fired pizza oven recommended and approved by AVPN - Italy

Refrattari Valoriani creates history again with the Verace! Massimo Valoriani spent 5 years developing this oven in partnership with the principals of AVPN in Naples. The revolutionary RHS system recirculates the exhaust gas to create a floor that never loses temperature. Available in 120 cm and 140 cm with the exceptional Spitfire Burner System. NOTE: The Valoriani Verace is recommended and approved by AVPN as an exception to its regulations.

Our commercial oven components are available in masonry kits for a traditional assembly using concrete, block and sand. Following our building guidelines will provide the proper thermal mass and insulation required to cook all day long and even the next morning! Flexibility in design, a permanent installation and customization are a few reasons to build with a masonry kit.
