Chicago Brick Oven

About Chicago Brick Oven Pizza Ovens

Chicago Brick Oven is the leader when it comes to residential pizza ovens.  Back in 2006, when the company was founded, it was near impossible to find a proper wood fired pizza oven available for residential use.

CBO sought to fix that problem by creating an American made, high quality pizza oven that would draw people together to share great memories over great food.  And since their founding, they've perfected the outdoor pizza oven.

Why We Love CBO Pizza Ovens

Configuration Options

No matter what your vision is for your pizza oven set up, CBO has an option that is likely to be a great fit for needs.

Their most popular product is the CBO 750 DIY Pizza Oven Kit (check out our CBO 750 review here), which is a ready to finish oven comes with an oven dome, hearth, arch, door, an accessories package, and an installation kit.

It's perfect for those who want to install a pizza oven with a custom exterior finish to match the rest of your outdoor kitchen.

If you don't have the ambitions for a custom oven, CBO has various ovens for use on a countertop, portable ovens, or standalone ovens. Each of these options arrive assembled.

Performance

CBO ovens draw on tried and true philosophy in their design - their ovens are similar to the igloo shaped dome ovens found across Europe for centuries.

That's not to say the design is outdated - far from it.  Chicago Brick Oven's proprietary FlameRoll technology is a modern touch that creates a vacuum of concentrated heat in the cooking chamber.

Temperatures upwards of 1,000ºF are achievable in all CBO models thanks to this performance focused design.

Longevity

Made from a proprietary refractory cement with stainless steel fiber reinforcement, CBO ovens are built to last and certified to UL and NSF4 standards.

No matter which part of the country you live in, whether it's hot or extremely cold, CBO ovens are built to last and perform day after day.

The Look

If you're going with a DIY pizza oven kit, you can customize the aesthetics of your oven to your liking.  You can match your patio's stone finish or make your own custom tile finish.

CBO's freestanding and countertop pizza ovens are lookers too.  Each of the available finishes (silver vein, copper vein, black) look beautiful and make a wonderful centerpiece to any outdoor kitchen.

Indoor/Outdoor

Most of Chicago Brick Oven's pizza ovens are rated for indoor use.  That means you can build your dream pizza oven in your indoor kitchen.
