Not many things stick out in my mind more than the classic, giant soft pretzels we used to beg mom for on every visit to the mall. As I got older many of my tastes changed, but the pretzel was one thing I’d never lose the craving for. Garlic, cinnamon, jalapeño, or almond, all made right in front of you. Bathed in butter and dusted with salt, fresh out of a piping hot oven, nothing beats a good soft pretzel. A few weeks ago it dawned on me: “We should try these in the pizza oven!” With a few good recipes and an eager new intern, I set off to discover if it was possible.

Since its release, the Pizzeria Pronto has had an overwhelmingly positive reception. At the same time we've also received a lot of great questions about the oven, both from oven owners and from people interested in buying one themselves. We've been keeping track of all the questions asked, and today we've gathered our most popular Pizzeria Pronto questions and are sharing our answers.

Pizzacraft, in conjunction with The Companion Group, is excited to announce its first annual Pizzafest was held on Saturday, November 8th from 11am-3pm in Berkeley, CA.

So you’ve purchased one of the best portable outdoor pizza ovens that money can buy, and now you’re wondering “How can I master my new oven?” It’s a question we get fairly often at the Pizzacraft headquarters. Some people learn to use the oven quickly, while others take a little more time to become master pizza chefs. We’ve discussed the ins and outs of making a perfect pizza at home in a recent blog, but today we’re going to talk more about the Pronto specifically. We’d like to share a few Pizzeria Pronto cooking tips that we’ve learned to get the perfect pizza while using this oven.

At The Companion Group, we believe that "innovation starts here." A few years ago, our design team thought that there had to be a better way to make a pizza at home. After two years of planning, developing, and revising several designs, the Pizzeria Pronto Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven was born. Even in its earliest stages, we knew the Pronto had some serious potential… not only for cooking great pizza, but for cooking other foods too. Here’s a sneak peak at just a few of the innovative, new Pizzeria Pronto accessories coming down the pipeline later this year.

Historically, the only ways to enjoy pizza were takeout from a local pizza parlor, building a large and expensive wood-burning oven in your backyard, or settling for a frozen pizza cooked on your home pizza stone. The Pizzeria Pronto changes all that.
