Igneus Classico Pizza Oven Review

While the Igneus Classico Pizza Oven may not be the first of its kind to hit the market, it shoots straight to the top of the list of neat cooking gadgets to have in your home!

With many options to choose from, one can customize the look of their oven to match their home or go completely opposite to make a bold statement like the work of art it is.

The Classico comes in six different color options: Black, Verdigris Blue, Red, Aubergine, Antique Copper, and Graphite. Also available to add some flair to your oven is the custom-made stainless-steel stand.

Tailored to fit with the Igneus Classico in sheer perfection, it is available with or without wheels and with or without shelving. The wheels help if repositioning the oven around your yard.

Advantages of the Pizza Oven

1. Masterfully Designed

The Igneus pizza range was very well crafted. The design of it consists of a powder-coated Aluminum outer skin over a stainless-steel base. Very sturdy and built for the long haul.

Fire bricks line the insulated interior for maximum heat production and even cooking. The bricks provide a crispy crust on the pizza that can be cooked in 60-80 seconds.

The oven does this best by having surround heat that cooks evenly and quickly. An added bonus is removing the chimney; it can be loaded into the car and taken to friend’s house, the beach, sporting events, camping, and more!

2. Easy to Use

From the minute it arrives at your door, it is easy to set up and get to cooking on your new pizza oven. First, decide where you want to place it. They have designed the pizza oven to be very versatile.

One can use the pizza oven on the bespoke stainless-steel stand sold separately but designed for this oven, on a homemade purposed stand, an outdoor kitchen area, or even on the tabletop.

Using the instructions for proper assembly, placing kindling in the bottom to get the fire going, adding the 2 small logs, the temperature is perfect in about 15 minutes.

Once done with the cooking, make sure it is completely cooled before attempting to clean. However, cleaning up is a cinch. Use a brush to remove the coals and dispose of properly (not in trees, brush, or anything else that could possibly spark a fire).

The ease of usability in making pizzas can be done by anyone. With clear instructions provided and tips on how to start a fire, cooking can be done within minutes of getting it set up. Delicious pizza with a wood-fired taste in the comfort of home.

3. What Can Be Cooked

The Igneus-Pizza Oven is not made for just cooking pizzas, don’t let the name fool you! It is a multi-use cooker that perfectly makes meats, roasted potatoes, ribs, casseroles, lasagnas, bread, steaks, and BBQs.

Due to its abundant cooking volume, two pizzas can be cooked at once or two roasting tins with different items, etc.

The size of the unit is as measured 660 mm (width) X 680 mm (length) on the exterior and 60mm X 60mm cooking area, weighing 45 kilograms.

There are the basic recipes listed on the website for two different types of dough and sauce. However, for sale on the website, is a wood-fired oven cookbook with tons of recipes. The internet will have a plethora of recipe resources for everything from lasagna to pizzas.

4. Accessories

While these accessories are not required they are definitely recommended as they make using your Igneus Pizza Oven even easier. All accessories are sold separately.

First up to polish off the look of the oven is the stainless-steel bespoke stand, with or without wheels and shelves.

It was designed specifically for this oven so it fits and compliments it like a glove. Secondly, a 12″ pizza peel and embers rake. The peel makes it easy to place the pizza in and then remove the pizza from the oven when it is piping hot!

 

Of course, the embers rake is to effectively and simply clean the pizza oven when the occasional toppings slide off and the wood turns to ashes. Lastly, make sure to protect your investment with the superb bespoke cover when not in use.

It will protect the oven from rain, snow, hail, sun, and pollen. Just make sure to apply after the oven cools down.

5. Value for the Money

When pricing the cost to add a traditional pizza oven to an outdoor space such as a garden, prices can range anywhere from £1,000 to £3,000 for the traditional build. Not to mention the amount of space that a typical wood fire pizza oven requires.

The Igneus Pizza Oven is compact and moveable so that alone can justify the cost of £649. One cannot load a traditional pizza oven and take it to the shore like the Igneus can do.

Ordering pizza from an outside restaurant will cost more and a longer wait time than simply tossing a pizza in your own personal oven and cooking in less time than one can sing an entire song on the radio.

The Igneus really does provide a fast and convenient way to make pizza at home.

You can easily cook 2 pizzas at once inside the oven in less than 60 seconds on this pizza oven which is pretty amazing.

 

6. Healthy Foods

Cooking foods at home has a huge advantage of going out to eat or ordering takeout from a restaurant. If the quality of ingredients is important to you when cooking, this pizza oven is your answer.

One can shop for all of the ingredients desired whether that is organic, free-range meats, gluten-free, non-GMO, etc. to add to the recipes.

No more having to accept whatever ingredients the local pizza place uses in their foods. This is a great way to control special dietary needs as well.

If you simply do not tolerate gluten it is so simple to make gluten-free foods. If watching your caloric intake many healthier and low-calorie foods can be added.

 

Disadvantages of the Pizza Oven

1. The main disadvantage noted is the weight, unless on a stand with wheels.

For a small female or person with not a lot of deadlift abilities, this oven weighing in at 45 kilograms or about 100 pounds measuring in American standards of weight, is a bit cumbersome to move.

It is designed with the ability to be relocated but the weight is a huge disadvantage if not purchase with a rolling stand.

2. Another disadvantage, in the long run, could possibly be the expense of having to fix broken parts. If an interior tile cracks from repeated heat exposure how simple is it going to be to replace it?

What about the handle if it comes off of the door? There are no parts listed available for purchase.

Conclusion

Overall, the Igneus Pizza Oven is a fantastic purchase and a fabulous price for the value it brings. The convenience of cooking at home with family and friends cannot be beaten.

The price compared to adding a traditional wood-fired pizza oven is simply unbeatable. Also, if the house or property is sold, the traditionally built oven cannot be moved but the Igneous Classico is portable.

The Igneus Classico can last you for a really long time with the amazing build and other features. It is definitely worth purchasing to have many moments of delicious food with friends and family gathered around.
