The four pillars of pizza oven quality

Functionality, aesthetic, durability and repairability. Those are the four pillars of quality as we see it, and here's what each one means.

1. 01

   Functionality

   Easy enough for a first-timer's first pizza, capable enough for pros who cater.

2. 02

   Aesthetic

   It's a showpiece in your backyard. It has to look good.

3. 03

   Durability

   Backed by a 3-year limited warranty and made to last beyond it.

4. 04

   Repairability

   Open the maintenance door underneath and most fixes are within reach.

1. Functionality

More than anything, you need a pizza oven that's easy to use.

For the beginner who's never made a pizza before, our oven gives them the highest chance of making a pizza they can actually eat on the very first try.

It also has to satisfy the pros: people who've made pizza for years, own multiple ovens and, in a lot of cases, do it for a living. Many of them cater, and our oven's functionality is what lets them succeed at it.

Here's what does the work: independent top and bottom burners, a stone that rotates automatically, 950°F in about 15 minutes and Neapolitan pizza in 60 to 90 seconds.

2. Aesthetic

It has to look good. This is a showpiece in your backyard, and you want it to impress your friends.

It should complement the furniture, the accessories and the other outdoor appliances you already have. That's part of quality too.

3. Durability

Every Festa Oven carries a 3-year limited warranty. But the real goal is an oven that's still going long after the warranty ends, so you get your money's worth out of it.

We want you to be delighted with the purchase, and part of that is using it season after season. If you take care of it over a long time, it'll last a long time.

4. Repairability

Here's what frustrates me about most gear today: when it breaks, it's done. You can't get inside it, and if you can, you need a service pro.

We built the Festa Oven the other way. Open the maintenance door underneath and you're looking at the wiring, the thermocouples and the motor. For the vast majority of problems, that's where the fix is, and those parts can be replaced with relative ease.

How to judge any pizza oven

Before you buy any pizza oven, run it through four questions.

Could a first-timer make an edible pizza on night one, and could a pro cater with it?

Will it look right in your backyard?

Is it built to last, with a real warranty behind it?

If a part fails, can you get to it and replace it?
