Maximus Prime Large Pizza Oven
APO-PRIMER
Enter into wood-fired cooking with the Maximus Prime Arena Wood Fired Oven
If you are looking for the best outdoor wood-fired pizza oven for your backyard, catering, or a food truck, this is the perfect large pizza oven! We personally use this wood-fired oven and LOVE IT!
Don't be fooled by the chimney at the back of the oven. The Prime Stainless Steel Wood-Fired Oven has an aluminum dome with a stainless steel 316 dropped ceiling inside the oven. This ceiling directs the fire/heat 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 as you can see in the video below!
We've found that our Maximus Prime Pizza Oven creates a family cooking atmosphere because, unlike a grill that involves one person doing all the cooking, this large pizza oven lets all family members get involved from firing up the oven to food preparation to cooking delicious meals.
You can read our review of the Prime Wood Fired Oven here!
Why Choose a Stainless Steel Pizza Oven?
Unlike a brick oven, a stainless steel pizza oven heats up in 30-45 minutes so you can fire it up after work and be ready for cooking before you finish your first glass of wine. Handmade in Portugal, this oven produces superb wood-fired pizzas as well as any other dish you can imagine! The larger cooking floor fits up to 5-6 pizza pies at a time and they will cook to perfection in less than 2 minutes.
For a limited time, when you buy the Prime Portable Pizza Oven, get a FREE Pizza Peel and Clay Roasting Pan (14.5″ x 10″ x 3″) - great for dishes such as chicken, beef, fish, veggies, bread and so much more!

Prime Oven Videos
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!
Here's another video showing a couple of pizzas cooking in the Maximus Prime oven.
Warranty
Read Authentic Pizza Ovens Warranty here
All our oven REQUIRE "all-weather" protection from rain, sleet, and snow, fallen leaves and protection from the harsh elements when not in use. If you don't have a cover, you can find the Prime Oven Cover here that fits snugly over the oven and secures with a pull tie. These are beautiful ovens that are meant to last for a very long time, but you must take care of it.

Frequently Asked Lift-Gate Questions
Below are answers to our most frequently asked lift gate questions so you can make the right decision on your needs.
How will my order be delivered?
Freight is used only when shipments are over 120lbs or are over-sized.The standard Freight shipping delivery method is typically called “curb-side delivery”. Curb-side delivery is the method used on all our freight shipments unless other arrangements are made.
We will schedule delivery date for you but the delivery company should give you a call a day or two ahead of time to schedule and confirm the delivery timeframe.
Your delivery will be made with a full size Semi-Truck ranging from 20 to 53 feet in length. The truck WILL NOT be a box truck like a UPS or FedEx truck. We typically cannot request a certain length of truck for final delivery, so please assume it will be a long truck. The driver is only obligated to deliver curbside at the end of your driveway so it will be your responsibility to move it from there.
We have found that most drivers will deliver up your driveway when possible but it is up to them to decide. That being said, sometimes the drivers will help but they are not obligated to help in any way once the freight is off the truck. If the truck does not have a lift gate, you would be responsible for getting the item off the back of the semi truck.
What do I need to know regarding my delivery?
- If your product ships via LTL Freight, someone will need to be home at the time of delivery.
- Your delivery is curbside only so you are responsible for moving item to desired location. Many customers use an engine hoist, fork-lift, or even a crane in some cases to get their heavy item to it's desired location.
- The freight carrier will call you in advance to make an appointment before they attempt delivery.
- Please use the telephone number that will also reach you because the freight company will use that number when attempting to deliver.
What is a Lift-gate?
A lift-gate is basically a hydraulic lift used to raise and lower items from ground level to the level of a delivery truck or trailer. Most freight companies deliver items on a truck which are usually designed to load and unload at a loading dock or with a fork-lift.
If your delivery location (ie, residence) does not have a loading dock or fork-lift and the item is too heavy to remove from the trailer by hand, then you would need a lift-gate.
Do I need lift-gate delivery?
If the individual items in your shipment are light enough for you to remove from the truck, you do not need a lift-gate. If your item is over 120 lbs and you live in a residential location, you will need a lift-gate.
If your delivery location has a loading dock or a forklift, you do not need a lift-gate. If you are willing to drive to the closest terminal and pick up the freight from the delivery terminal, you do not need a lift-gate.
People often ask “how does the delivery company expect residential customers to get the heavy freight off the truck?” Unfortunately, the answer is: “they expect you to pay for a lift-gate delivery”. You don’t want a delivery truck trying to deliver without a lift-gate and then not have a way to get it off the back of the truck.
If you can’t get the freight off the truck, there will be a re-delivery fee on top of the full retail lift gate fee.
*Please note: In some area’s freight companies may require lift-gate delivery for liability reasons.
Is lift-gate delivery always available?
No. The availability of a lift-gate varies by carrier and type of truck used for delivery. Therefore, it is very important to notify us in advance if you will require lift-gate delivery since most trucks are not equipment with a lift-gate.
How much does lift-gate delivery cost?
The charge for lift-gate service from the Freight company is typically $75.00. The good news? WE WILL ARRANGE THE SERVICE FOR YOU! :-) Just make sure you let us know you need it!
How do I request lift-gate service?
We make it easy for you to request the lift-gate service when ordering your oven. Simply select "Free US Shipping - Residential/Lift-Gate Needed" when checking out and the lift gate service will be added at checkout.
We understand your love of fire and can help turn a boring backyard into an outdoor paradise focusing on friends, food, and fire!
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
How tall is the chimney on the Prime
The chimney on the Prime oven is 36” high and is made entirely of stainless steel.
-
What material are the walls made up of ?
The interior walls of the Prime oven are made of 316 Stainless Steel and the outside of Aluminum. The 316 Stainless Steel is the preferred steel for use in marine environments because of its greater resistance to pitting corrosion so it really holds up for keeping your oven in good condition despite the weather. The walls of the Prime wood-fired oven are double walls with a high-temperature special ceramic blanket within the walls. We use this oven all the time and you can touch the outside of the pizza oven while the fire is blazing without burning your hand because of how well the oven is insulated. We also have quite a few customers using this oven in food trucks and in restaurants.
-
I need to order this oven ahead of time to build the frame of where it’s going to be, how will we get help on lifting it when it’s ready to be dropped
The Prime wood-fired oven weighs approximately 300 lbs so it can be lifted with the help of some strong friends. However, the refractory bricks that make up the oven floor can be easily removed. If you take out the bricks, the oven only weighs around 100 lbs and can be picked up and moved to your base, Then, you can put the bricks back in the oven. We used this method when moving the Prime oven to our own base.
-
Can the Prime Pizza Oven be installed on a trailer?
Most definitely! We have numerous customers using the Prime on trailers and in food trucks. The Prime would work perfectly bolted on a trailer because it has 3 rails underneath. The oven actually sits up an inch off the bottom so you won't have to worry about the bottom getting hot (and it has a ceramic fire blanket insulating the bottom anyway).
-
What's the floor size of the brick ovens from Authentic Pizza Ovens?
There is 5" from the bottom of the oven to the floor base. The base filled with Rockwood insulation is approximately 2.5" so the bricks are around 2.5" thick as well.
-
What's the heating time of stainless steel and brick ovens?
Stainless steel pizza ovens will heat faster but they won't stay hot as long. Brick ovens take longer to completely heat but the heat will be retained in the oven for much longer cooking times.
-
How long will it take to have my Prime pizza oven delivered?
We typically ship our Authentic Pizza Ovens quickly when you order them (same or next day). The Prime Pizza Oven ships from our warehouse in Arizona so depending on where you live, the delivery time could be 1 - 7 days. We will send tracking as soon as it ships so you will be able to track your oven. Once your oven arrives at the local terminal, you should get a call from the freight company to schedule the actual delivery.
-
Does this oven have to be vented outside if you use it in a restaurant or can you just set it under the hood system?
The Maximus Prime can be used either way and is a super oven. However, if you need to have an oven that is UL-listed for indoor commercial use, this oven does not have that certification. For commercial ovens certified for indoor commercial use, you may need to look at the ovens found here: https://www.patioandpizza.com/collections/installation_commercial
-
Does the red exterior fade or loose its color due to heat I want red but worried about discoloration from heat
Thanks for the great question. The Maximus Primes are very popular ovens and, as far as we know, we've never had anyone complain about the red color fading or losing its color. We personally use the Prime oven and love it!
-
Can I use Maximus Prime Large Pizza Oven for baking bread?
Yes, most definitely! We have baked bread in our Maximus Prime Large Oven many times. Also, for reference, here is a video showing bread being baked in the smaller Maximus oven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJn6nfkM6tE
Customers Love Us!
Customer service was great Pam helped in every way. The oven is not only a fun and useful tool to use it is good looking also.
The service was excellent. Pam was the best!! She was very prompt with responding to any questions I had. It was a great experience and the outstanding customer service should be modeled by all companies. We love our wood fires pizza oven. Thanks Pam for all your help!! John
So happy with this purchase. Fires easy, heats fast, stays hot and cooks a mean pizza! Average cook time down to 90 seconds! Can’t wait to try breads and other dishes!
I am so happy and pleased with the support I received and can’t thank all that helped (Pam) with the many questions and special requests I had. the right words to express my thanks to all the great people that work at Patio and Pizza
It was easy to order, and it was actually a lot easier to get information than from the manufacturer. Excellent follow through after my credicard was declined and until I was able to complete the order. I also received information about the shipping. Very happy and as I said easier than ordering from Italy.
We love our new pizza oven. It was shipped quickly and arrived in good shape. We have had a lot of fun already with it. Get the larger size if you are choosing between larger or smaller!
My husband and I purchased a pizza oven last month and love it. We owned a pizzeria for 40 years and now we enjoy making pizza at home. Pam in customer service was a great help with everything! I would recommend this product and company to everyone who enjoys making pizza at home.
Love it! It can cook some amazing food! I went with the 750 and it's perfect for our family. It has become the centerpiece of our backyard.

We love spending time outside with our family making pizzas. This wood burning pizza oven heats well and maintains a hot temperature allowing us to cook pizzas all night. After lots of research, we chose this pizza oven for the look and the price and we are glad we did!
Easy to setup and first pizzas were fantastic! This is a great oven! We made our first pizzas this past weekend and they were fantastic.
We love out Chicago Brick Oven Pizza!! We use it all year round and love the fact that it was made in the USA. The flame roll looks magnificent at night and is the center piece of our backyard. We wouldn't have considered any other oven than a CBO!
I'm very happy with everything, including delivery!
Our oven has been a BIG hit with family and friends. We have been cooking up a storm over here! Not only is the pizza fantastic, so are some of our favorites like Sausage and Peppers and Soft Shell Crab! Thanks for a great product!

Pizza in less than 5 minutes\nI just finished my oven. I love it and pizza comes out great in less than 5 minutes. I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful product!
I absolutely love my Chicago Brick Oven! It has become the centerpiece to my Backyard Kitchen. The best part…I can now cook my Famous Neapolitan Tomato and Sausage Pie in my CBO instead of a conventional oven!
Mastered break-making! I think we finally started to master the process with bread! After talking with your company, I started misting the oven just before/after loading in the bread.That made a huge difference in crust development!
Here's a photo of our Chicago Brick Oven. We love it! Its the ultimate party facilitation device!
