What customers say
The Alfa Allegro Outdoor Oven earns high praise for its exceptional performance and robust construction.

Know before you buy
This means the unit is supplied without a base or stand, allowing you to mount it directly onto a custom-built masonry or heat-resistant outdoor kitchen island. You will need to ensure your support structure is level and capable of bearing the oven's weight.
Yes, the Allegro is highly versatile. Because it reaches temperatures over 1,000ºF, it is excellent for roasting meats, baking bread, or charring vegetables, provided you manage the fire and heat zones effectively.
Hardwoods like oak are recommended because they burn cleaner and provide a more consistent, long-lasting heat. You can also use high-quality lump charcoal, though wood is generally preferred for the authentic flavor it imparts.
The cooking floor measures 39.4 inches wide by 27.6 inches deep. This is a substantial surface area that comfortably accommodates multiple pizzas at once or large roasting pans.
The refractory floor tiles should be kept dry and free of food debris. After the oven has cooled completely, you can brush away ash and charred bits, but avoid using water or cleaning chemicals on the cooking surface.
Temperature management is controlled by the amount of fuel you add and the positioning of the fire within the oven. By moving the embers to the side and adjusting the airflow, you can maintain a steady heat for longer cooking sessions.
