Totally unique for its combination of ability to reach 500oC, incredible heat retention and portability, this compact powerhouse of a stone oven can cook an authentic Neapolitan pizza (and so much more) in less than 60 seconds.
Roccbox is the compact wood and gas fired pizza oven revolutionising home cooking across the globe. Designed in the UK, Roccbox is now well known in Europe and USA, it has finally reached Australia’s shores.

Much like professional stone ovens too, Roccbox has an unbeatable amount of dense insulation beneath the floor and throughout the body of the oven, further maximising its unique cooking abilities.
Roccbox is also quick to get set up and put away, thanks to its compact design and foldable legs.
