Why Chicago Brick Oven

Built around the flame.

American-made brick ovens. The warmth of a visible fire. Food worth gathering for. See what makes a Chicago Brick Oven the heart of a cooking space.

The CBO difference

Good design goes deeper.

The experience starts with the fire. What stands behind it matters just as much.

01 / The experience

A fire you can see.

A visible, in-chamber fire brings the cooking into the gathering. Watch the flame, tend the meal, and keep the conversation going.

The craft of cooking

The flame is only the beginning.

Inspired by the low-dome ovens of Naples, CBO brings the fire into the cooking chamber. Our FlameRoll™ design directs heat across the dome and hearth, while the refractory core stores it for the cooking that follows.

Radiant heat from the dome, hot air moving through the chamber, and direct heat from the hearth work together. Pizza is just the beginning—bring out the bread, roasted vegetables, and cast-iron pans.

Make it your own

Your space. Your way to cook.

Build a custom enclosure around a modular kit, choose an assembled oven, or take the kitchen on the road. Explore wood-fired and Hybrid options for the way you want to cook.

Start with the right model for the setting: a backyard gathering place, an indoor kitchen, or a working restaurant.

Indoor and commercial projects need a model approved for that application. Residential Hybrid ovens are for outdoor residential use. Check the selected model’s specifications and installation manual.
