Hestan Unveils Campania Pizza Oven

Hestan has unveiled its latest product for the residential outdoor kitchen, the Campania Pizza Oven. Inspired by the region of Italy recognized for the invention of pizza, the Campania Pizza Oven marries rustic, artisanal quality with modern innovation and exceptional design.

Comprised of a heavy gauge stainless steel exterior, interior double-walled body construction, a 3/4″ thick ceramic cooking hearth stone, and an efficient and powerful gas-fired radiant burner, the Campania Pizza Oven achieves and retains optimal cooking temperatures quickly with industry-leading efficiency. Its heavy-duty ceramic hearth stone creates a charred artisan crust, while the oven’s unique dome shape traps and recirculates heat for an even cook.

The 449-square-inch ceramic cooking surface accommodates both shareable and personal-sized pizzas, and can be removed from the unit for a thorough cleaning between uses. Its radiant burner technology not only creates natural convection heat for perfectly-baked pizza, but also produces high-intensity infrared rays for roasting or searing meats and vegetables.

The oven comes equipped with an attractive stainless steel cooking cavity front cover, topped with an elegant wood handle, to protect the inside of the oven when not in use, as well as an artisanal stainless steel pizza peel to help you safely insert, remove, and rotate pizza or other food items around the oven.

The Campania Pizza Oven is available in a classic stainless steel finish, or in Hestan’s 12 signature color and finish options, and can be installed as a countertop unit to complement a full outdoor kitchen, or built into a non-combustible structure.
