Opinions on the Australian Alfresco WFO?

[PizzaCharlie]

Looking to see if anyone has or use these ovens made by Alfresco Wood Fired Ovens in Australia

Woodfired Pizza Ovens | Alfresco - Home

Im tossing up between these ovens and the Vesuvius/Valoriani models

They seem to have a fairly high dome (whatever thats supposed to mean).

Not sure what kind of pizzas i want to make, Any oven that will make my pizzas come out looking like this i guess.

Hi PizzaCharlie - It is probably a good idea to be sure that whatever you buy will suit the range of what you want to use it for. Some heat up quickly and because of minimal insulation they cool down quickly too. The height of the dome is not critical if you are just doing some home entertaining with pizza. The Pompeii ovens that many on this forum have built have an internal height about half of the internal diameter.

It is a decision that you will need to be right for you and when it comes to how the pizza looks/tastes when it emerges ............. that is the trick and one well worth mastering. It takes more than the oven to get the pizza right.

Good luck with it. Have a browse around the forum, there is plenty of good information here to enlighten your decision.
