Stucco Home Ovens - Primavera and Toscana
|

Stucco is the traditional finish of many backyard pizza ovens across the Mediterranean. Smooth, yet rustic, it can be painted to reflect a myriad of moods and styles. For the Primavera and Toscana residential ovens, our craftsmen use both plain and glazed stucco colors to complete the customer’s desired look. Stucco is a durable water-resistant finish that adds charm and protection for your oven.
