ANNOUNCING:
CASTELLI FORNI,
THE ROMAN OVEN

Fiero is humbled to announce the introduction of the Castelli Forni oven company in North America. Founded in 1966, Castelli Forni is operated and owned by Elio & Emilio Castelli in Rome, Italy. The company is focused on the production and development of artisanal electric pizza ovens for the Roman pizza industry.

Pizza al taglio, pizza alla pala, pizza tonda alla Romana – Castelli ovens are exclusively focused on baking these pizza styles with their unique characteristics. Castelli Forni has spent the last several decades testing, modifying and building upon their electric oven research with the Associazione Pizzerie Italiane to deliver Rome’s #1 pizza oven.

Fiero Group CEO, Peter de Jong, traveled to Rome to meet with Castelli Forni, the Associazione Pizzerie Italiane, and great practitioners of Roman pizza, such as Gabriele Bonci. It was abundantly clear within days that Castelli Forni ovens were the only ovens trusted by the best Roman pizza-makers.

Angelo Iezzi, President, API:

As I usually say, Castelli Forni is like a Ferrari. You have to know how to drive it if you don’t want to crash into something… but, if you learn how to drive it, you will never leave it.

After Mr. de Jong met and toured Castelli Forni’s office and production facility, he decided that this was a product that must be introduced in America. Castelli Forni’s commitment to an artisanal oven that produces the best quality Roman pizza, in a reliable manner, aligns with Fiero ethos of quality and reliability above all.

In Elio Castelli’s own words; “Our company believes in the fundamental role of baking in the pizza making process. These days, things are different, we don’t make pizza just to make something. Everybody is now looking for high quality products and it’s here where the baking part becomes fundamental.”
