Finishes
Colours and finishes
Piccola ovens are painted in our workshop. Choose from off-white, black, light grey, cream or terracotta.
Optional extra
Wheeled stand
The Piccola 60 and 70 can be supplied on a purpose-built wheeled steel stand for approx. R3,500. A stand makes the oven movable on a firm, level surface, but the oven is still heavy masonry.
Delivery and access
Getting your oven into place
The Piccola is a heavy masonry oven, so plan delivery and access before it arrives.
Fully assembled
The Piccola leaves our workshop fully assembled on a pallet, ready to be placed on its base.
Plan the route
Measure the narrowest gate or doorway and note any steps or slopes between the delivery vehicle and the oven position. Use suitable lifting equipment or professional handling. If carrying by hand, you need at least 4 people for the Piccola 60 and Piccola 70.
Tight access?
If an assembled oven cannot reach its final position, we can supply it as a kit. In Cape Town, we can assemble it on site.
Compare
Piccola or Mezzano?
Piccola and Mezzano ovens are made from the same core materials and follow the same construction method. The main differences are their appearance and front profile. The Mezzano extends further at the front, creating a slightly larger usable cooking floor and requiring more material, which is why it costs more.
What base does the Piccola need?
A level, non-combustible base that is strong enough for a heavy masonry oven: at least 90 x 90 cm for the Piccola 60 and 100 x 100 cm for the Piccola 70.
Does the Piccola arrive assembled?
Yes. The Piccola is supplied fully assembled on a pallet. If access to the oven position is too narrow, ask us about a kit or on-site assembly.
Can I put the Piccola under a patio roof?
The Piccola is designed as an outdoor oven. If you would like it under a patio or other cover, speak to us about flue extensions first, and check your local building and safety requirements.
Can I choose the colour?
Yes. Piccola ovens are painted in our workshop in off-white, black, light grey, cream or terracotta.
Do I need to cure the oven?
Yes. A new masonry oven must be dried and cured with small, gentle fires before you cook at full heat. We explain how in our curing guide.
