Everything You Need for Authentic Wood-Fired Nights

Bring the art of wood-fired cooking to your backyard with our complete pizza oven bundle. We personally use this wood-fired oven and we LOVE IT! You can read our review of the Prime Wood Fired Oven here.

The Maximus Prime ARENA is the upgraded style that has a slate front look rather than the traditional brick look.

Don't be fooled by the chimney at the back of the oven. The Prime Arena Stainless Steel Wood-Fired Oven has an aluminum dome with a stainless steel dropped ceiling inside the oven. This ceiling directs the heat/fire from the back of the oven to the front of the oven and then up through a ceiling opening that goes back to the chimney.

This design sends the heat over your food which allows for convection cooking and better heat retention!

MAXIMUS PRIME FEATURES
  • OUTSIDE Wall: Beautiful RED or BLACK Aluminum wall - high oxidation and corrosion resistance (we've used ours in the Florida weather for years w/o any issues!)
  • INSIDE Wall: 304-2B grade Stainless Steel DOUBLE wall containing a high-temperature special ceramic blanket. Stainless Steel 304-2B is better due to its resistance to salt and sea corrosion.
  • INSULATION: High-temperature ceramic blanket and a special fire-blanket with safety homologation, bio-soluble, and asbestos FREE, between inner and outer wall to hold in the heat.
    The thickness of the insulation between the dome of the oven and the inner layer is 3 cm/1.18" thick
  • FRONT FAÇADE: Cast stone in refractory cement (Lafarge) and inside a structure made with a forged iron to reinforce the cast stone
  • CHIMNEY & DOOR: 100% 304-2B Stainless Steel
  • COOKING FLOOR: Refractory Tiles
  • OVEN WEIGHT: ~400lbs - Very portable (with strong friends) or remove the inside tiles during relocation to decrease weight by about 100lbs - perfect for catering or tailgating!

WHY CHOOSE A STAINLESS STEEL PIZZA OVEN

Unlike a brick oven, a stainless steel pizza oven heats up fast. In just 30–40 minutes, you can fire it up after work and be cooking before you finish your first glass of wine. The larger cooking floor fits up to (4-5) 12" pizza pies at a time, and they will cook to perfection in less than 3 minutes.

AWARD-WINNING QUALITY

Prime wood burning pizza oven in garden

Authentic Pizza Ovens is the recipient of the Best Wood-Fired Oven
Producer in the US! Awarded by LUXlife Magazine for three consecutive years! ⭐️

   

HANDMADE IN PORTUGAL

Every Maximus Prime Arena is carefully built by skilled artisans in Portugal. This oven combines traditional craftsmanship with modern efficiency, making it one of the most reliable wood-fired ovens on the market.

DURABLE DOUBLE-WALL CONSTRUCTION

Built to last, the Maximus Prime Arena features a 1.4mm aluminum outer wall that resists wet, salty climates and a 304-2B stainless steel double wall for unmatched strength. With ceramic insulation, a refractory floor tile, and a decorative brick façade, it stays hot for hours inside while remaining cool to the touch outside.

COOKING PRODUCTIVITY

Fire through up to 140 10" pizzas per hour (just think of the pizza orders you could fill!). At just 400 pounds, it's light enough to move and far more affordable than a pizza trailer, yet powerful enough to handle serious volume wherever you set up.

This is the perfect commercial pizza oven for mobile food truck businesses, caterers, pizza parties, small restaurant businesses, backyard birthday parties, corporate events, trailers, and fairs. Much less expensive than a pizza trailer and light enough to move around - even fits in the back of most cars. You can’t go wrong - optimize your business with this economical oven.

With 35" x 35" of internal space, this oven can comfortably handle multiple pizzas at once. To help you visualize the best way to use it, we’ve scaled it down in the illustration below.



The PRIME is the big brother to the MAXIMUS.  If the Prime model is too big, take a look at the smaller wood fired oven from Portugal, the Maximus pizza oven.  Either way, you'll find a pizza oven that's just right! 

WHAT'S INCLUDED
  • Removable Stainless Steel Chimney with Valve and Cap - directs smoke up and away from you; cap protects your oven from dew and rain
  • Stainless Steel Oven Door - use when you are cooking at slow heat to make perfectly crusted loaves of bread!
  • Thermometer (0-932°F) - helps you know when the oven is ready for cooking
  • Ash/Wood Holder - helps block wood when the oven is ready for cooking
  • Free 12" Metal Turning Peel
  • (1) Extra Floor Tile
  • For a limited time, when you buy the Prime Portable Pizza Oven, get a FREE Clay Roasting Pan (14.5" x 10" x 3") - great for dishes such as chicken, beef, fish, veggies, bread and so much more!

More Reasons to Love this Oven

For Food Truck or Trailer Use, Read Here

If you are planning to use this oven for a food truck or trailer, it MUST BE MODIFIED in order to handle the constant movement and vibrations. Your vehicle must have satisfactory suspension and the face of the oven must be secured with added bolts from the dome into the face. We have an instructional video which we can provide.

This is an after purchase modification. We are not responsible for any damages if not properly modified.

For a hassle-free professional option, consider our Maximus Prime PRO Large Pizza Oven. This is our new professional-grade oven and it now comes pre-secured for use in food trucks and trailers, so you don't need to make these modifications yourself.

Breakfast Casserole Cooking in Prime Pizza Oven

We don't like wasting good heat in our wood-burning ovens so after the pizzas are cooked, we often throw in a good breakfast casserole in preparation for the following morning!  Here's a video of a scrumptious southwestern breakfast casserole complete with eggs, cheese, and salsa! Check out the large cooking space!

BOX OF FIREWOOD STARTER PACK

Moisture content matters when choosing pizza oven wood. Too dry, and your wood burns inefficiently. Too moist, and your pizza oven spends more time drying the wood than it does producing heat for your pizza. Our aged red oak pizza wood is kiln dried to the ideal moisture content for easy burning and hand-picked to guarantee you’re receiving the highest quality restaurant wood.

One medium box is plenty of fuel for a night full of fun outdoor cookouts with family and friends or a whole summer full of incredible dinners.

Approx. 15" L x 2" W x 2.5" H, 10-25 pieces

Absolutely love our Maximus

This is our first pizza oven, so we weren’t sure what to expect. We’ve done several pizzas and cedar plank salmon so far, and are really enjoying it. Had a minor issue with the chimney extension, which they replaced immediately.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review Tom!! We greatly appreciate it! Your setup looks fantastic and we know that food must be as good as it sounds when you're cooking it in a Maximus!

Love my Maximus Arena!

Oven was delivered as ordered, no problems. I have had a mostly metal pizza oven with a slim pizza stone, it was hard to keep a consistent temperature. This oven has thick fire brick, which stays at a constant 600-700 degrees for hours with minimal wood addition. First pizza was beautiful, and so far every one after that. Baked an apple crisp in the ceramic dish the oven came with, it was delicious! Love my Maximus Arena, and so do my friends! Thank you, Patio and Pizza!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this fantastic review Judy! We love the Maximus Arena Black Outdoor Wood-Fired Oven and are so excited that you do too! And it looks like you are making delicious meals in it with such ease! Please do not ever hesitate to reach out to us if there is anything we can help you with in the future!

Fabulous purchase!

We love our oven. We’ve baked pizza, salmon, chicken and bread is next on the list. We researched ovens and decided on the Maximus because it was the best value. We chose to buy it from Patio & Pizza Outdoor Furnishings because the reviews on their service were great. Our experience was ideal and I highly recommend both the oven and the retailer.

Thank you so much for this fantastic review Elizabeth!

Love the oven

Love the oven. Was disappointed when the metal threshold came off after a week. Patio & Pizza have been excellent in getting this corrected. Was disappointed when the manufacturer sent me Liquid Nails to fix. Now I am waiting for the correct adhesive from the manufacturer.

Thank you so much for the review Peter! We always appreciate such honesty. We really were disappointed to hear that you experienced the issue with the metal plate, but were eager to help you resolve it. We strive to provide the highest customer service and diligently work to be able to provide it. A happy customer is the best customer! Thank you for being so understanding through this process!
