Looking for the best outdoor pizza oven for your backyard or outdoor kitchen? The Garzoni Drop is a residential wood-fired pizza oven, also available as a gas pizza oven (natural gas or propane), and made in the USA. It's built to bake Neapolitan pizza, bread, roasted meats and vegetables, and it ships fully assembled, so there's no brick oven to build.

Why the Garzoni Drop

• Heats up in about 28 minutes and holds its heat well, so you're cooking fast.
• Signature teardrop shape with the chimney built into the top of the dome, a clean, sculpted look for any patio or outdoor kitchen.
• More oven for your money: compare the cooking surface and dome thickness with other brands and see the difference.
• Cooking floor and dome made of the same high-heat castable refractory for even heat from top to bottom.

Why a stucco finish?

Stucco is one of the best finishes for an outdoor oven. It handles high heat without cracking, it's waterproof, and it resists mildew, mold and rot, so your oven needs little to no maintenance. Every CALIFORNO stucco oven is finished by hand by our craftsmen.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the Garzoni Drop take to heat up?
About 28 minutes to cooking temperature with wood.

Can I run it on gas instead of wood?
Yes. Choose natural gas or propane when you order.

Where is it made?
Every Garzoni oven is built and finished by hand in our shop in Hallandale Beach, Florida, USA.

Can it stay outdoors?
Yes. The stucco finish is waterproof and resists mildew, mold and rot.

What's the difference between the Drop and the Campana?
Both are fully assembled stucco ovens. The Garzoni Campana has a bell shape with extra insulation at the back, so it holds its heat longer.

Is the Garzoni Drop a brick oven?
It cooks like a traditional Italian brick oven, but the dome and cooking floor are cast in one piece from high-heat refractory, so there are no bricks or mortar joints to crack or maintain.

What can I cook in it besides pizza?
Bread, focaccia, steaks, roast chicken, fish and vegetables. Anything you'd cook in a wood-fired oven.

Can I build it into an outdoor kitchen?
Yes. Choose the counter top version to set it on your outdoor kitchen counter or island, or order it on our steel base as a freestanding oven.

Is it hard to install?
No. It arrives fully assembled. Set it in place, connect the chimney, cure the oven with a few small fires, and it's ready to cook.
