Quick Answer: Forno Bravo sells two distinct product lines: the Primavera60/70, a fully-assembled, wood-fired brick oven that ships ready to cook (roughly $2,500-$2,995 depending on retailer and stand), and the Casa2G series, a prefabricated modular kit starting at $2,895 that you build into a permanent outdoor-kitchen installation. Both use genuine refractory-brick construction — Forno Bravo has built wood-fired ovens since 1996 — rather than the stamped-steel shells most portable ovens on the market use.
Forno Bravo shows up constantly in comparisons on this site — our outdoor pizza oven kit guide already covers the Casa2G as a DIY build option, and Forno Bravo’s own Pompeii oven plans are the reference design in our how to build a pizza oven guide — but the brand had never gotten a dedicated review covering both product lines side by side. We pulled current retailer listings and Forno Bravo’s own product pages to see where each line actually fits.
Forno Bravo by the numbers
- 1996: the year Forno Bravo started building wood-fired ovens, making it one of the longer-established masonry-oven brands still selling in the US market.
- $2,500-$2,995: the price range for the fully-assembled Primavera70 across current retailer listings (Forno Bravo’s own site lists it starting at $2,500; other retailers list it at $2,995, with some stand configurations reaching $3,595).
- $2,895: Forno Bravo’s starting price for the prefabricated Casa2G modular kit — components only, before installation or an enclosure.
- 30 pizzas/hour: the throughput Forno Bravo rates the Primavera70 for, cooking up to two 10-inch pizzas at a time with a 20-minute heat-up.
Forno Bravo product lines at a glance
| Line | Format | Fuel | Best for | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primavera60/70 | Fully assembled | Wood only | Ready to cook same-day | ~$2,500-$2,995 |
| Casa2G series | Prefab modular kit | Wood or gas | Permanent built-in installs | from $2,895 |
1. Primavera60/70 — the fully-assembled, ready-to-cook line
Forno Bravo Primavera70
- 28-inch cooking surface (615 sq. in.), fits up to two 10-inch pizzas at a time — rated for roughly 30 pizzas per hour once hot.
- 20-minute heat-up to authentic Neapolitan-range cooking temperatures above 700°F, per retailer spec listings.
- Ships fully assembled with a stucco finish (multiple color options) and a steel door with built-in thermometer; available with or without a decorative metal stand.
A Forno Bravo oven can be at your door before the accessories that go with it are — a pizza peel, an infrared thermometer, and a cover are worth ordering same time. Try Amazon Fresh for the flour, yeast, and toppings while the oven ships freight.
The Primavera is Forno Bravo’s answer to “I want a real brick oven but don’t want to build one.” It arrives on a pallet via lift-gate delivery, ready to set on a counter or the optional stand and fire up the same day — closer in spirit to buying a grill than to the modular Casa2G kit. The smaller Primavera60 (24-inch surface, one 10-inch pizza at a time) undercuts the 70 slightly for a single-pizza household; the 70’s two-at-a-time capacity is the more practical pick for entertaining. The tradeoff versus a portable like the Gozney Dome or Ooni Karu 2 Pro is weight and permanence — the Primavera’s stucco-and-refractory build is meant to live in one spot, not travel to a campsite or tailgate.
2. Casa2G — the prefabricated modular kit
Forno Bravo Casa2G Modular Kit
- Cooking floor sizes vary by SKU — the Casa2G-80 covers 32x40 inches (804 sq. in.), while the Casa2G90 has a 36-inch floor fitting 3-10 pizzas depending on size.
- Kit includes a pre-cast refractory dome with integral vent, firebrick cooking floor (NSF-4 certified for food contact), dome and floor insulation, mortar, door with thermometer, and a stainless chimney with rain cap.
- ETL-certified to UL standards for both indoor and outdoor installation, burning wood by default with an optional gas burner kit.
The Casa2G is a different purchase entirely from the Primavera — it’s components for a permanent installation, not a finished appliance. The dome sections and floor tiles arrive pre-cast, which cuts out most of the freehand masonry a from-scratch Pompeii-style build requires, but you’re still mortaring pieces together into a counter or enclosure you build or have built. See our full outdoor pizza oven kit comparison for how the Casa2G stacks up against BrickWood’s cheaper foam-form kit and Chicago Brick Oven’s larger CBO-750.
How Forno Bravo compares to the field
| Oven | Format | Cook temp | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forno Bravo Primavera70 | Fully assembled, fixed-place | 700°F+ | ~$2,500-$2,995 |
| Forno Bravo Casa2G | Prefab kit, built-in | 700°F+ | from $2,895 |
| Chicago Brick Oven CBO-750 | DIY kit, built-in | up to 1,000°F | $5,000+ / $8,249 hybrid |
| Gozney Dome S1 | Portable | ~950°F | ~$1,499 |
| Marra Forni Neapolitan | Commercial, built-in | ~905°F+ | ~$4,500-$6,000+ |
Forno Bravo sits in a real middle tier: more expensive and less portable than any Ooni or Gozney, but cheaper and less commercially-rated than a Marra Forni or the largest Chicago Brick Oven kits. That’s the honest way to read the brand — it’s aimed at a homeowner who wants genuine masonry construction as a permanent backyard fixture, not the biggest or hottest oven on the market.
Who should actually buy a Forno Bravo
- Buy the Primavera70 if you want a real brick oven that’s ready to cook the day it arrives and you’re not building a permanent installation — the closest thing to “unbox and fire up” in genuine masonry construction.
- Buy the Casa2G if you’re set on a built-in, permanent oven as part of an outdoor kitchen and want less on-site labor than building a form-and-firebrick oven from scratch.
- Skip Forno Bravo if portability matters, or if $2,500+ is more than you want to spend — a portable Ooni or Gozney gets pizzeria-style results for a fraction of the cost and can move with you.
Whichever line you’re considering, budget separately for a pizza peel, an infrared thermometer to verify the deck temperature, and a cover if the Primavera will live somewhere it’s exposed year-round — none of that is included in either Forno Bravo package.
Infrared Thermometer
- Instant surface reads confirm the actual brick floor temperature rather than trusting the door thermometer alone.
- See our infrared thermometer guide for picks that hold up to brick-oven heat.
The bottom line
Forno Bravo isn’t one product, it’s two different ways to get genuine masonry-brick construction: the Primavera70 for same-day, fully-assembled cooking at roughly $2,500-$2,995, or the Casa2G kit for a custom built-in install starting at $2,895 in components. Both cost several times what a portable Ooni or Gozney runs, and that premium buys real refractory mass and heat retention rather than a bigger feature list. For most backyard cooks, a portable oven still makes more sense; Forno Bravo earns its price only if permanence and authentic masonry construction are the actual goal.
