Alfresco 30-Inch Built-in Outdoor Gas Pizza Oven Plus - AXE-PZA-BI
Neapolitan pizza in about 3 minutes, and a 1,000°F oven for roasting, baking, searing and bread, built into your outdoor kitchen.
Most outdoor pizza ovens do one thing. The Alfresco Pizza Oven Plus is a true outdoor oven with a pizza oven’s heat. A 21,200 BTU ceramic infrared burner under the hearth and an 18,900 BTU gas log burner above it, 40,000 BTU together, bring 3/4-inch refractory ceramic slabs to 1,000°F in about 15 minutes, with no curing and no fire to tend. Two independent gas controls let you run it screaming hot for a leopard-spotted Neapolitan crust, or dial it down to a steady 400–600°F for roasted chicken, hearth bread, cast-iron steaks and desserts. 456 square inches of ceramic hearth fit two 14-inch pizzas or a full dinner of oven dishes at once, behind removable glass doors with a halogen light so you can watch without losing heat. The built-in version slips behind a stainless fascia with a 6 by 12-inch double-walled vent that can exhaust through the top or out the back of the island.

A quick walkthrough of the Alfresco Pizza Oven Plus before you read the details below.
Who it is for
Is the Pizza Oven Plus Your Oven?
Pizza ovens range from $300 tabletop units to masonry ovens that take a weekend to heat. Here is who the Alfresco Pizza Oven Plus is made for, based on what our customers tell us after they own one.
Built for you
The Pizza Oven Plus fits you if…
- ✓You want restaurant-style Neapolitan pizza at home: 1,000°F, 3 minutes a pie, with the char and leopard spotting a 500°F indoor oven cannot make.
- ✓You want an outdoor oven, not just a pizza oven: roast a chicken, bake sourdough, sear a ribeye in cast iron or finish a cobbler at a temperature you set and it holds.
- ✓You want it hot in 15 minutes, not 90: gas heat with no wood to split, no fire to manage and no curing period before the first bake.
- ✓You cook for a group: 456 square inches of hearth fits two 14-inch pizzas or several oven dishes at once, so nobody waits.
- ✓You like real wood-fired flavor without a wood fire: the included smoker box takes wood chunks or herbs, or water for steam-baked crusty bread.
- ✓You are building an island and want the oven integrated behind a clean stainless face, with the exhaust routed up or out the back.
Think twice if…
It may not be the right fit if…
- →You want the romance of a real wood fire and do not mind an hour-plus preheat and tending the flames. This is a gas oven, with the smoke flavor coming from its wood-chunk box.
- →You only ever want pizza and a small footprint: a 30-inch, 265-pound stainless oven is more oven than a tabletop unit, and it is priced accordingly.
- →You cannot run a 110V outlet and a gas line to the spot: the ignition, halogen light and burners need both.
- →Your outdoor kitchen already has counter space: the countertop Pizza Oven Plus needs no cutout or vent work.
- →You want to move it to the party: the same oven on a stainless cart, Pizza Oven Plus on cart.
- →You live near salt air: Pizza Oven Plus with Marine Armour protection.

Features
Five Systems, One 30-Inch Outdoor Oven
Most pizza ovens are built around one burner and one job. The Pizza Oven Plus is engineered as a complete outdoor oven, so it makes Neapolitan pizza, roasts, bakes, sears and smokes on one appliance.

01 · Heat system
Two Burners, 40,000 BTU: Infrared Hearth Below, Gas Log Above
A 21,200 BTU ceramic infrared burner sits under the hearth and drives heat straight into the 3/4-inch refractory ceramic floor, which is what crisps the bottom of a pizza. Above the food, an 18,900 BTU tube burner disguised as a gas log heats the ceramic ceiling so it radiates heat down onto the top of the pie, the way a wood fire does in a brick oven. Each burner has its own control, so you can balance top and bottom heat for the dish in front of you.

02 · Hearth
3/4-Inch Refractory Ceramic Hearth and Ceiling, Hot in 15 Minutes
The floor and ceiling are 3/4-inch refractory ceramic slabs, thick enough to store serious heat and release it evenly across all 456 square inches. Because the slabs are heated from below and above, the oven reaches 1,000°F in about 15 minutes, recovers quickly between pies and holds a steady temperature when the doors are closed. Unlike a masonry oven, there is no multi-day curing before the first bake.

03 · Beyond pizza
A True Outdoor Oven: Roast, Bake, Sear and Broil
Turn the burners down and the Pizza Oven Plus becomes the outdoor oven most backyards are missing. Hold 400–500°F for roasted chicken, vegetables and hearth breads, run it at 600–700°F to blister a cast-iron ribeye in minutes, or use the radiant ceiling as a broiler for gratins and finishing. The glass doors keep the heat in for long roasts, and the smoker box can hold water to steam-bake crusty loaves.

04 · Smoke & steam
Stainless Smoker Box for Wood-Fired Flavor or Steam
A stainless steel smoker box sits inside the oven. Fill it with wood chunks or fresh herbs and the gas oven picks up the smoky, wood-fired character of a brick oven. Fill it with water and it makes steam, the trick bakers use for a thin, crackling crust on sourdough and baguettes.

05 · Doors & light
Removable Glass Doors, Halogen Light and a Cool Control Panel
Two 8.5-inch stainless-framed glass doors let you watch the crust without opening the oven and dumping the heat. They lift off for cleaning or for working the peel fast on pizza night. A halogen light inside shows the pie after dark, the rear exhaust carries heat away from you, and an air-cooled front panel keeps the knobs comfortable to touch at full temperature.
Details You Notice Every Time You Cook

Built-in
Stainless Fascia and a 6 × 12-Inch Double-Walled Vent
Designed to drop into a full-fascia oven structure with a clean stainless front. The double-walled gas vent and cap can exhaust straight up through the top or out the rear of the island, so the oven fits the design you want.

Easy start
110V Automatic Ignition
Turn the gas knobs and the electric ignition lights the burners every time. No matches, no lighter, no reaching into a hot oven. It needs a standard outlet, which also runs the halogen light.

Craftsmanship
Hand-Welded 304 Stainless, Made in the USA
18-8 304 stainless with heli-arc welded seams, built in Alfresco’s California plant to live outdoors through four seasons of weather and 1,000°F oven heat.

Your color
Stainless or 10 Powder-Coat Finishes
Choose brushed stainless or a powder-coat color, from Jet Black and Signal White to Ultramarine Blue, Carmine Red, Light Green and Traffic Yellow, to match your Alfresco grill.
Versatility
Pizza Is Where It Starts
With two independently controlled burners and a settable range from gentle roasting heat to 1,000°F, the Pizza Oven Plus covers most of what an indoor oven does, outdoors.

1,000°F, about 3 minutes a pie

Chicken, pork, lamb and vegetables at 400–500°F

Sourdough and focaccia on the ceramic floor, water in the box for steam

Ribeyes and chops in a skillet at 600°F+

Wood chunks or herbs in the smoker box

Dutch ovens and skillets, doors closed, heat held steady

Radiant ceiling heat finishes fish, gratins and flatbreads

Cobblers, skillet cookies and roasted fruit as the oven cools
Oven dishes cook directly on the ceramic hearth or in cast iron and sheet pans. Call 888-678-3530 and we will talk through the oven, the peel and the prep station.

Estimated Delivery Time
Post shipment, anticipate your items within a timeframe of 3-5 business days. We utilize UPS and FedEx for smaller items. It's crucial to note that more substantial items and certain orders are dispatched via freight. Freight shipping is somewhat more intricate compared to regular parcel deliveries, hence understanding the process in advance ensures a smooth delivery experience.
Freight Shipment Specifics
The majority of freight items are shipped on pallets. Some delivery companies will reach out to fix a delivery slot, whereas others aim to drop off your order at the most accessible spot nearest to your home, preferably close to a garage. The shipping confirmation email will detail the specific delivery procedures to anticipate.
For Scheduled Delivery
Companies that arrange delivery slots necessitate your presence for the delivery and your signature for confirmation. Deliveries are made using a semi-truck with lift gate service, placing the shipment by the curb. Should you grant permission for the delivery to be left unsupervised, BBQ Kitchen Pros cannot assume responsibility for any ensuing damages. The process might seem daunting, but for a comprehensive understanding, we recommend you peruse our thorough freight delivery guide to prevent unforeseen challenges.
For Non-Scheduled Deliveries
Delivery services that don't operate on appointments don't mandate your presence or a scheduled delivery slot. There's also no signature required upon receipt. Without the hassle of scheduling or waiting around, let the delivery come to you. If you're home during the drop-off, the driver can be asked to place your items in the garage. If you're away, they'll position it close to the garage or main entry.
