Customer Testimonial
"I surround myself with talented and very opinionated chefs in my business as the principal of an international culinary consulting firm. Wood Stone equipment gets more recommendations from all of us when talking to other chefs; more than any other piece of equipment. A showpiece in many of our restaurant kitchens, the reliability, product quality, versatility for our menus and the overall consistency in quality service make this Wood Stone oven number one in many of our restaurants as well as our kitchens at home."

Wood Stone Bistro Assembly/Disassembly
Exploded View
Please note the exploded view of the Bistro oven below. The Bistro oven will disassemble. For ease of installation the upper portion containing the cooking chamber is designed to turn on its side.
Wood Stone Bistro: Turning The Bistro
When turned on its side the upper portion will be roughly 30" wide. This should allow for easier access through smaller passages.
Cooking & Operation
The secret of stone hearth cooking is the stone. The single-piece floor and dome of the oven are made from specially formulated high-temperature refractory ceramic and our unique construction method and materials produce a deep heat sink (storage) effect that guarantees floor temperature. A guaranteed floor temperature ensures consistent cooking zones and consistent product throughout the day.
We know this is the world’s best pizza oven, but can it do more than pizzas? Absolutely! Regardless of the cooking application -- searing/sautéing, roasting, baking pizza -- it can all be done at the same time in the same oven, holding in moisture and giving your product wonderful color and texture.

Our domes have more thermal headspace. We offer infrared under floor burners. Our ovens are more space efficient. We offer more standard options than any other manufacturer. All of these differences have significant benefits for the oven owner. Read through our 10 Key Points of Difference and learn why these differences make a Wood Stone oven the best stone hearth oven the market has to offer.
