Description
Making proper pizza at home is easy with the Earthfire pizza oven. It is a small ceramic oven fired with dry wood, so you get that smoky, blistered crust you normally only find in a good pizzeria. It is locally made by Earthfire, and it is a favourite with families who want something fun to cook on over a weekend.
Earthfire Pizza Oven Features
NilTherm ceramic built to last
The oven is made from Earthfire’s NilTherm ceramic, a special clay mix designed to resist cracking under the high heat a pizza fire needs. Ceramic also holds heat well, so the oven stays hot between pizzas.
Hot and ready quickly
According to our notes, the oven itself warms up in about 15 minutes and the pizza stone needs around 8 minutes more. That means your first pizza can go in a little over 20 minutes after lighting, and it can reach around 350 degrees Celsius.
More than a pizza oven
Use it to bake bread, roast vegetables, grill meat or smoke fish. Being compact, it is an easy choice if you want a portable pizza oven South Africa wide for beach days, camping trips and backyard parties.
Two colours
Pick classic terracotta brown or a modern gunmetal grey to suit your patio or outdoor kitchen.

Is it the right oven for you?
It suits couples and families who want quick, tasty pizza without building a brick oven. If you cook for big crowds every week, a built-in oven may suit you better. Browse more in our freestanding braai range or the wider braais section.
Setting it up in Cape Town
The oven is freestanding, so most people simply place it on a stable, heat-safe surface away from anything that can burn. If you want a fixed outdoor kitchen, our pizza oven installation in Cape Town team can plan the build. You can also see the full Earthfire range.
Earthfire Pizza FAQs
What wood should I use in the Earthfire pizza oven?
Use small pieces of dry, seasoned hardwood. Dry wood burns hotter and cleaner, which gives you a crisper base and less smoke. Avoid treated or painted wood, as the fumes can taint your food.
Can I leave a ceramic pizza oven outside?
Ceramic can absorb moisture, so keep it covered or stored under a roof when not in use. A dry oven heats up faster and lasts longer through Cape Town’s wet winters.
