The Alfa Ciao is a countertop wood-fired pizza oven handcrafted in Italy, built around Alfa's Forninox refractory lining that heats the cooking floor fast and holds temperature with little fuel. It reaches cooking heat in about 15 minutes and its 27.5 by 15.6 inch firebrick floor fits two pizzas at once, with a built-in thermometer and no curing step before first use. It suits backyard cooks who want a compact, ready-to-go wood oven for pizza, roasts and vegetables rather than a built-in masonry oven. Against rivals like the Ooni Karu and Gozney Roccbox it is larger and heavier, trades portability for floor space, and runs on wood only. It has been discontinued, so remaining units are the last of the line and parts support may thin out over time.
