Italy's Original Pizza Oven
Mugnaini pizza ovens are hand crafted by Refratarri Valoriani, the same family of artisans that have been making wood fired ovens since 1890. The Modular Pizza Oven tradition started when Sylvio Valoriani patented his wood fired pizza oven design in Italy in 1946. This elegant solution made oven ownership possible for everyone and is still the standard for wood fired pizza ovens worldwide.
Massimo & Sylvio Valoriani
Mugnaini ovens are actually a hybrid of the Valoriani oven. We use their residential dome and their commercial grade floor for a unique combination that results in fast start-up times with professional results. This creates an oven ideal for the way we wish to cook today.
Ease of use with incredible results are the hallmarks of the Mugnaini oven system. Our traditional installation methods and modern factory assembled ovens have passed the test for nearly 20 years.
Please view our Photo Gallery or the Magazines Mugnaini ovens have been featured in for examples of what your oven may look like. The natural grace of this Italian design adapts easily to any kitchen. We invite you to follow the links in our navigation bar to learn more and explore the possibilities.
