Why Choose the Nino Gas-Fired Oven?

The Nino is designed for performance and convenience, reaching temperatures over 750 °F in just 15 to 25 minutes.

Its advanced venting system and heat retention technology make it a game-changer for pizza enthusiasts.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Neapolitan Pizza

1. Prepare the Dough

A perfect Neapolitan pizza begins with the right dough. Choose your favorite recipe, knead it well, and let it rest for at least 8 hours (or overnight). This resting period enhances the dough's texture, making it light and elastic.

2. Preheat the Nino Oven

Turn on the gas burner or burn some logs in your Nino oven. Wait 15-25 minutes until it reaches the ideal temperature of 750+ °F.

3. Stretch Out the Dough

On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough evenly into a circular shape. Place it onto the ilFornino® One Flat Cooking Surface™, leaving some space around the edges for the crust to rise.

4. Add Your Favorite Toppings

For a classic Neapolitan pizza, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce, followed by fresh mozzarella cheese and basil leaves. Keep the toppings minimal to maintain the authentic taste.

5. Cook to Perfection

Using a pizza peel, carefully place the pizza inside the Nino oven. Let it cook for about 90 seconds, rotating it occasionally to ensure even baking. The crust should turn golden brown, and the cheese should melt into a bubbly, delicious layer.

6. Serve & Enjoy

Once done, use the pizza peel to remove the pizza from the oven. Slice it up and serve immediately while it's hot and fresh.

The Secret to Perfect Neapolitan Pizza

One of the biggest challenges in homemade pizza-making is achieving the right balance of crispiness and chewiness.
