If you are looking for the best outdoor wood-fired pizza oven for your backyard, catering, or a food truck, this is the perfect large pizza oven! We personally use this wood-fired oven and LOVE IT!
The Maximus Prime ARENA is the upgraded style that has a slate front look rather than the traditional brick look.
Don't be fooled by the chimney at the back of the oven. The Prime Arena Stainless Steel Wood-Fired Oven has an aluminum dome with a stainless steel 316 dropped ceiling inside the oven. This ceiling directs the fire/heat from the back of the oven to the front of the oven and then up through a ceiling opening that goes back to the chimney.
This design sends the heat over your food which allows for convection cooking and better heat retention as you can see in the video below!

Why Choose a Stainless Steel Pizza Oven?
Unlike a brick oven, a stainless steel pizza oven heats up in 30-45 minutes so you can fire it up after work and be ready for cooking before you finish your first glass of wine. Handmade in Portugal, this oven produces superb wood-fired pizzas as well as any other dish you can imagine! The larger cooking floor fits up to 5-6 pizza pies at a time and they will cook to perfection in less than 2 minutes.
For a limited time, when you buy the Prime Portable Pizza Oven, get a FREE 12" Metal Turning Peel and Clay Roasting Pan (14.5″ x 10″ x 3″) - great for dishes such as chicken, beef, fish, veggies, bread and so much more!
We've found that our Maximus Prime Pizza Oven (old style above) creates a family cooking atmosphere because, unlike a grill that involves one person doing all the cooking, this large pizza oven lets all family members get involved from firing up the oven to food preparation to cooking delicious meals.

The PRIME is the big brother to the MAXIMUS. If the Prime model is too big, take a look at the smaller wood-fired oven from Portugal, the Maximus pizza oven . Either way, you'll find a pizza oven that's just right!

Breakfast Casserole Cooking in Prime Pizza Oven
We don't like wasting good heat in our wood-burning ovens so after the pizzas are cooked, we often throw in a good breakfast casserole in preparation for the following morning! Here's a video of a scrumptious southwestern breakfast casserole complete with eggs, cheese, and salsa! Check out the large cooking space!
Here's another video showing a couple of pizzas cooking in the Maximus Prime oven.
Warranty
Read Authentic Pizza Ovens Warranty here
All our ovens REQUIRE "all-weather" protection from rain, sleet, and snow, fallen leaves, and protection from the harsh elements when not in use. If you don't have a cover, you can find the Prime Oven Cover here that fits snugly over the oven and secures with a pull tie. These are beautiful ovens that are meant to last for a very long time, but you must take care of it.
