Pizza oven

摘要

An oven for pizza and other baked goods includes auxiliary heating means positioned in the baking chamber. By designing the auxiliary heater to simulate a burning log viewable through the baking chamber access door, the ambience of a wood burning oven is presented to customers. By control of activation of the auxiliary heater, faster responsiveness and improved control of baking chamber heating is achieved, resulting in improved quality control of baked goods and significantly faster baking times for increased efficiency. By provision of a front central exhaust vent, the need for an oven door is avoided.
