The Rise of Pizza in Turkey and the Need for Pizza Ovens With pizza becoming a widespread and beloved product in Turkey, there arose a parallel need for pizza ovens.

OVEN

• Traditional brick ovens used for pide, lahmacun, and bread in Turkey faced challenges such as weight, immobility, unsuitability for gas burning, high energy costs, chimney problems, and cumbersome structures. These traditional ovens couldn’t meet the demands in rapidly emerging fast-food areas in malls, plazas, and pizza shops under buildings.
• The rapidly growing pizza sector necessitated a mobile, efficient, chimney-free, gas-safe, modern yet traditional mobile stone oven.
