Gioacchino Gasparre, AKA Jack, has owned an Italian restaurant called Posticino for close to a quarter of a century. Hundreds of thousands of pizzas have been made and carried out under his watchful eye. Jack had the vision of creating a contemporary and accessible, home-use wood-burning pizza oven to tease out that true italian flavour. Fast forward to present day, our new company was born.

This novel, sleek design was made with the intention of bringing family together over a home cooked meal. With one of our ITALINA ovens, anyone can can be a chef. Inspired by the centuries-old design, this modern oven merges ancient culture with futuristic sophistication, an elevated fire was uniquely invented, designed and introduced by Jack, owner of our sister company, Forno A Legno Ovens which affords you maximum surface cooking area, to create a paragon of pizzas or whatever dish your heart desires or family feels like.

Our ovens are portable, providing you the opportunity to choose the destination of your new oven as well as the means to create meals wherever you go. With an array of sizes and colours to choose from, we’ve got an oven that will suit any area and style/lifestyle, being it home, work or for pleasure.

Originally designed for recreational purposes, throughout the years our product has transformed into more than just a pizza oven. In light of the Covid19 pandemic and occasional load shedding we experience in South Africa, we have realized that it’s more than a simple oven, it is an oven that sparks joy and connection in families in a time when gatherings have been restricted or cooking made difficult.
