At Fontana Forni UK, we believe cooking outdoors should be more than just preparing food — it should be an experience that brings people together.

We specialise in premium Italian-made wood-fired and gas pizza ovens, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern performance to help our customers create authentic restaurant-quality food at home.

As the official UK distributor for Fontana Forni ovens, we are passionate about offering products that deliver exceptional cooking results, timeless design, and long-lasting quality.

The History of Fontana Forni

The Fontana story began in 1946 in San Lorenzo in Campo, a small town in Italy’s Marche region, where founder Giuseppe Fontana opened a traditional blacksmith workshop after returning from the war. Joined by his brothers Bruno and Carlo, the family business quickly earned a reputation for craftsmanship, metalworking expertise, and innovative engineering.

During the 1970s, the Fontana family developed one of the world’s first indirect-cooking metal ovens — a breakthrough that helped redefine wood-fired cooking and established the Fontana Forni name internationally.

Today, more than three generations of the Fontana family continue to lead the company, combining authentic Italian craftsmanship with modern manufacturing technology. Every oven is still designed and manufactured in Italy using premium materials, advanced engineering, and traditional artisan methods.

With over 70 years of heritage, Fontana Forni has become one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of premium wood-fired and gas-fired ovens, exporting to more than 40 countries worldwide.

As the UK distributor of Fontana Forni products, we are proud to bring this rich Italian heritage and world-class craftsmanship to customers across the United Kingdom.

Made in Italy. Built to Last.

Every Fontana Forni oven is designed and manufactured in Italy using decades of expertise in traditional oven-making.

Known for their outstanding heat retention, efficiency, and elegant craftsmanship, Fontana Forni ovens are built for those who appreciate authentic cooking and premium outdoor living.

Whether you are cooking Neapolitan-style pizza, roasting meats, baking bread, or entertaining family and friends, our ovens are designed to elevate every outdoor cooking experience.
