But before listing the indisputable qualities of the Scugnizzo Napoletano oven, let’s recall the fascinating origins of the world’s most famous Italian dish.
Brief historical background: the origins of Neapolitan pizza.
Many dishes from poor cuisine are now delicacies served to diners, especially tourists, according to traditional or revised recipes: from simple trattorias to the most accredited restaurants, pizza is one of the most popular preparations.
The history of Neapolitan pizza dates back to 1889, when a well-known chef of the time, Raffaele Esposito, owner of the restaurant “Pizzeria di Pietro e basta così,” succeeded in bringing pizza, a poor peasant dish, to the Royal Palace of the House of Savoy.
It was a courageous feat that was able to be accomplished partly because of the sovereign’s lack of knowledge about the culinary customs of the people. Pizza, in fact, was a dish created to avoid wasting leftovers.
Summoned by Queen Margherita, Raffaele Esposito came to court with three pizzas. The most appreciated by the sovereign was the tomato, basil and mozzarella pizza, a tribute to the Italian tricolor flag. The chef decided, therefore, to christen the tricolor pizza with the name Pizza Margherita. It was then that the restaurant “Pizzeria da Pietro e basta così” became known everywhere and its creation conquered the sophisticated palates of the nobles at court.
While it is true that the well-known chef was not the founding father of pizza, he is certainly the one who gave fame and glory to this exquisite dish.

The widespread popularity of the recipe, which has been emulated worldwide, gave rise to the need to establish the well-known AVPN association that establishes the rules to be adopted for the preparation of the “verace pizza napoletana”. Scugnizzo Napoletano has obtained certification of the specification, by virtue of its ability to obtain the perfect heat source for cooking true Neapolitan pizza.
Thanks to the worldwide fame acquired and the license obtained, the company makes and designs electric ovens for professional pizza preparation for every catering business.
Top-quality materials and sophisticated technologies result in a high-performance oven that ensures temperature stability, durability and energy savings.
The Great Qualities of Scugnizzo Napoletano.
The cooking time for authentic Neapolitan pizza is just one minute, so an oven must meet these specific requirements. Thanks to its performance (Scugnizzo Napoletano reaches high temperatures between 450°C and 470°C), it cooks pizza in a very short time (1 minute), differentiating the heat between the lower part of the cooking chamber (where the dough rests) and the upper part, to achieve the perfect texture of both the crust and toppings.
The cooking surface is designed with a specific refractory material, the “Biscotto di Sorrento” brick, allowing the pizza base to achieve the traditional “leopard spot” coloration as is customary in Neapolitan pizza.
The most advanced technological systems, which form the basis of Scugnizzo Napoletano’s design, ensure ease of use with integrated programs and controls, allowing for fully autonomous cooking management and maintaining consistent time and temperature settings.
The versatility of the digital panel is confirmed by its intuitive interface, which guarantees ease of use and control, offering 10 different temperature levels between the lower and upper surfaces.
Scugnizzo Napoletano is equipped with mobile wheels, making it easy to move at any time, ensuring efficiency and versatility in any situation, including space and mobility needs.
Versatile, practical, and innovative, while also featuring a nostalgic design that recalls tradition, Scugnizzo Napoletano is synonymous with quality. It combines energy efficiency with a low environmental impact, as it does not emit smoke externally.
