Primavera - Residential Favorite Now in New Colors
The reasonably-priced, wood fired Primavera is a favorite of Forno Bravo residential customers; an industrial quality oven perfectly designed for home use. Built with the compact Giardino pizza oven core, it is fully assembled and hand-finished in a beautiful stucco exterior, with a terracotta flue and steel door accents.
New options for summer! The Primavera now comes in several colors. Mediterranean Yellow or Terracotta Red are the traditional choices, or you can pick a custom color like Charcoal Grey, Spanish Sand, Earth Brown, or Smoke Black to complement your décor!
Available in two sizes, with both countertop and stand models, this oven fits any outdoor setting. It reaches full temperature in as little as 20 minutes and can bake 1 – 2 10” pizzas at a time to keep the party hopping.
The Primavera is a personal favorite of Chef Melissa of The Faux Martha, and of Pizza Quest’s Peter Reinhart (host) and Brad English (producer), plus thousands of satisfied home chefs around the world! Click below to learn more about this great oven!
