Installation Notes
The Ciao is an outdoor wood-burning oven. Place it on a flat, stable surface at least 8 in (20 cm) from walls and other equipment, and keep anything flammable at least 3 ft (1 m) away. The oven body gets hot to the touch in use.
Do not use a wood-fired oven in an enclosed room unless it is properly vented to local code. For a covered patio or pergola, Alfa calls for a UL103HT double-wall chimney (3 in clearance around it, at least 3 ft above the roof it passes through) in place of the supplied single-wall pipe, which needs 18 in of clearance. Rules on wood smoke, terraces and rooftops vary by building and town, including in New York City, so confirm with your building and local authority before you install.
For help planning placement, a covered location or a full outdoor kitchen, book a design consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pizzas can the Ciao bake at once?
Two. The cooking floor is 27.5 x 15.7 in (70 x 40 cm), and Alfa rates it for 2 pizzas at a time or 2 kg (4.4 lb) of bread per batch.
How long does it take to heat up?
Alfa lists a heating time of about 15 minutes. Build a small, lively fire to one side and add small pieces of wood at regular intervals to hold temperature.
Can I use it under a covered patio?
Only with proper venting. Alfa recommends a UL103HT double-wall chimney for any installation under a roof or pergola, with at least 3 in of clearance around the chimney, and it must extend at least 3 ft above the roof it passes through.
Is a cover included?
Yes. Both options on this listing include the Alfa weatherproof cover.
