Contemporary Anthracite Finish Meets Italian Heritage

The Fontana Forni Margherita Anthracite represents over 75 years of Italian metalworking excellence, handcrafted by skilled artisans in San Lorenzo in Campo in Italy's prestigious Marche region. Founded in 1946, three generations of the Fontana family have perfected the art of pizza oven manufacturing, creating ovens that combine timeless quality with cutting-edge technology. The distinctive anthracite finish—a sophisticated matte charcoal color—provides a contemporary aesthetic that complements modern outdoor living spaces whilst concealing minor marks from regular use.

This build-in model is specifically engineered for permanent outdoor installations, offering space-efficient professional performance without dominating your patio or garden. The intelligent design ensures rapid heat-up times and exceptional temperature stability, allowing you to cook authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas with beautifully charred, leopard-spotted crusts and perfectly cooked bases in just 60-90 seconds. The anthracite finish coordinates beautifully with natural stone installations, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary garden furniture, making it the perfect centerpiece for your outdoor kitchen.

Premium Materials and Superior Construction

304-Grade Stainless Steel Excellence: The Margherita's entire internal structure is manufactured from professional-grade 304 stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance and longevity. This marine-quality material ensures your investment withstands years of intensive outdoor use, resisting rust and maintaining structural integrity through countless cooking sessions. The 2.5mm thick construction provides durability whilst the interior chamber utilizes 441-grade stainless steel for maximum heat resistance.

12cm Natural Rock Wool Insulation: Exceptional thermal performance comes from a full 12 centimeters of high-performance natural rock wool insulation surrounding the entire cooking chamber—back, sides, top, and underneath. This advanced insulation system serves dual purposes: maintaining consistent internal temperatures for perfect cooking results whilst keeping external surfaces safe to touch during operation. The efficient heat retention also significantly reduces gas consumption, making the Margherita economical to operate whilst delivering superior performance.

Refractory Chamotte Cooking Floor: The cooking surface features premium refractory chamotte stone, specifically certified for food use. This high-quality material absorbs and radiates heat evenly, creating the ideal environment for authentic Neapolitan pizza with its characteristic crispy base and blistered crust. The porous nature of chamotte also absorbs excess moisture from dough, ensuring perfectly crisp bases every single time.

Weather-Resistant Anthracite Finish: External surfaces are electro-galvanized steel finished with high-temperature powder coating in the distinctive anthracite color. This multi-layer protection provides maximum resistance to heat stress, harsh weather conditions, and UV degradation. Whether facing summer sun, autumn rain, or winter frost, your oven maintains its pristine appearance and structural integrity year after year.

Authentic Neapolitan Pizza at 850°F

For true Neapolitan pizza enthusiasts, temperature precision is absolutely paramount. The Fontana Forni Margherita Anthracite excels at maintaining the critical 800-850°F (427-454°C) temperature range required for authentic Neapolitan-style pizza certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. At these extreme temperatures, pizzas cook in just 60-90 seconds, achieving the perfect balance of charred, blistered crust with distinctive leopard spotting and tender, airy interior—all without burning the delicate base.

The generous 60×60 cm (23.6×23.6 inch) cooking chamber accommodates multiple cooking configurations with ease: two 10-inch pizzas simultaneously for entertaining guests, one large 12-inch pizza with ample room for turning and maneuvering, or various artisan bread and roasting projects. The domed interior design, expertly curved both front-to-back and side-to-side, ensures uniform heat distribution without problematic hot spots, delivering consistent professional results regardless of where food is positioned within the chamber.

The included adjustable smoke exit valve on the premium 304 stainless steel flue pipe provides precise temperature control for different cooking applications. This professional-grade feature allows you to fine-tune cooking conditions for various dishes, maintaining optimal heat retention when the oven door is closed and enabling proper smoke management for bread baking, roasting, or slow-cooking applications.

Culinary Versatility Beyond Pizza

Whilst specifically engineered for pizza perfection, the Margherita Anthracite Build-In excels across an impressive range of cooking applications, transforming your outdoor kitchen into a true culinary powerhouse:

Artisan Bread Baking: The exceptional heat retention and steam management capabilities create ideal conditions for crusty sourdough loaves, authentic focaccia, ciabatta, and traditional Italian breads. The spacious chamber comfortably accommodates multiple loaves simultaneously, perfect for entertaining or weekly batch baking.

Restaurant-Quality Roasting: Achieve professional-standard roasted meats that rival the finest restaurants—from succulent lamb shoulders with crispy exteriors to perfectly roasted chicken with golden, crackling skin. Roast vegetables develop exceptional caramelization and sweetness, whilst whole fish emerge with delicate, flaky flesh and beautifully charred skin.

High-Temperature Grilling: The intense radiant heat produces steakhouse-quality sear marks on premium steaks, lamb chops, and vegetables, creating beautiful Maillard reactions whilst the retained heat provides gentle finishing for perfect doneness throughout.

Baked Desserts: From rustic fruit tarts to traditional crumbles and even delicate pastries, the Margherita's even heat distribution produces professional bakery results with golden, flaky crusts and perfectly cooked fillings.

The Fontana Forni Heritage: 100% Made in Italy

When you invest in a Fontana Forni oven, you're acquiring far more than cooking equipment—you're joining a 75-year Italian heritage of exceptional metalworking craftsmanship and pizza oven innovation. Founded in 1946 by Giuseppe Fontana in San Lorenzo in Campo, the company began as a humble blacksmith's workshop serving farmers in Italy's Marche region. By 1978, the Fontana brothers revolutionized outdoor cooking by creating the world's first metal pizza oven with indirect combustion technology, transforming the industry forever.

Today, three generations of the Fontana family—Giovanni, Marco, Alessandro, and Nicola Fontana—continue this proud legacy, personally overseeing every stage of production in their state-of-the-art Italian facilities. Advanced laser cutting, precision metal bending, and digital machining technology combine seamlessly with traditional artisan craftsmanship to produce ovens that are genuinely 100% Made in Italy. This isn't merely final assembly of imported components—every single element, from initial metal cutting through to final quality inspection, occurs in the Fontana workshops under direct family supervision.

The Margherita Anthracite embodies this unwavering commitment to excellence. Unlike mass-produced ovens manufactured overseas using cost-cutting measures and unskilled labor, every Fontana Forni oven reflects decades of continuous refinement, premium materials selection, and skilled craftsmanship passed down through generations. This dedication to uncompromising quality has earned Fontana Forni worldwide recognition from professional chefs, acclaimed restaurants, and discerning home cooks who refuse to compromise on performance or longevity.

Technical Specifications

Contemporary Anthracite Design Philosophy

The sophisticated anthracite finish represents more than just aesthetic appeal—it's a carefully considered design choice for modern outdoor living. This contemporary matte charcoal color provides several practical advantages beyond its striking appearance. The darker finish naturally conceals minor cooking splashes, smoke residue, and everyday wear that would be more visible on lighter finishes, maintaining a pristine appearance with minimal maintenance.

Anthracite coordinates beautifully with the full spectrum of contemporary outdoor design trends. Whether your outdoor kitchen features sleek stainless steel appliances, natural stone countertops, dark composite decking, or modern concrete finishes, the Margherita Anthracite integrates seamlessly. The color provides visual depth and sophistication whilst allowing other design elements to shine, creating a cohesive, professionally designed outdoor cooking space.

The powder-coated finish also offers superior heat management compared to reflective stainless steel surfaces. The matte surface absorbs and dissipates heat efficiently, contributing to the oven's exceptional thermal performance whilst reducing glare in bright sunlight. This makes the oven more comfortable to work around during extended cooking sessions and photography-friendly for documenting your culinary creations.
