Alfa Ovens 4 Pizze Review
Introduction
It's been roughly a year and a half since I acquired the Alfa 4 Pizze wood-fired oven. In this video, I share my comprehensive review covering its design, my personal usage experience, and some helpful tips and tricks.
Features & Design
The oven comes in two versions: one with a cart and a tabletop model. It's fairly heavy but manageable to move with the assistance of another person.
It is aesthetically pleasing with a rounded, stainless steel design, making it an attractive addition to my patio.
It offers a spacious cooking area capable of cooking four pizzas at once, though I’ve mainly stuck to one or two so far.
Features high-quality materials, including fire bricks and ceramic fiber insulation, ensuring efficient heat retention.
Unique Heat Genius baffle technology ensures even heat distribution by forcing the heat to move forward and up, enhancing cooking efficiency.
Minimal assembly is required, emphasizing its Italian craftsmanship since 1977.
My Experience
I've used the oven extensively, cooking everything from pizzas to chicken, steak, calzones, and even cookies.
There’s a learning curve, especially when managing high heat, but it adds a unique, irreplaceable flavor to dishes once mastered.
The wood-fired oven has become a central feature for entertaining, from family gatherings to my wife's girls' nights.
Tips & Tricks
Start fires in the middle or back of the oven to preheat stones and maintain flames within the oven for efficient heating.
The right tools, like the grill gun for easy fire starting and Alpha’s tool kit for oven maintenance, are essential for optimal use.
Regularly cleaning the oven floor with a damp cloth before cooking and spreading coals across the oven floor after use ensures a clean cooking surface.
Protecting the oven with a cover and keeping the exterior clean with Barkeeper’s Friend maintains its appearance and longevity.
Final Thoughts
I wholeheartedly recommend the Alfa 4 Pizze wood-fired oven. Its quality, efficiency, and the distinct flavor it brings to food make it a worthwhile investment.
While not inexpensive, the "buy once, cry once" philosophy applies here. The oven has proven to be a durable and high-performing addition to my outdoor cooking arsenal.
This wood-fired oven has transformed my cooking experience, enhancing not just the flavor of the food but also the joy of cooking and entertaining outdoors. If you are looking for more information, you can watch my unboxing video here.
