Woodstone vs Earthstone vs Mugnaini (All Gas Only)
« on: December 06, 2014, 10:24:46 AM »
Hello,
We are investigating ovens for continued high volume commercial usage, and have come across three main brands. Could anyone provide insight or past experience into the cooking ability of these three. I know firsthand that Woodstones can hold up to the volume, but I've never seen Earthstone or Mugnaini in action. Our oven would be relatively large, probably enough space for 15 12" pies. We need to achieve a 3 minute pizza on a thin crust (thinner than neapolitan). Thanks!

I've never seen an Mugnaini or EarthStone that big in use. If it was me, and I was baking 15 3min pies, I'd want the larger door of the WoodStone - maybe that's why I've never seen the others?

If I was you, before I bought any oven, I'd want to see it in use first to evaluate the bake quality and ease of use. Talk to the manufacturers and find high-volume pizzerias using the three ovens, go visit them, and watch the ovens in action.

I actually went on a little "field trip" today to places that employ woodstone ovens and mugnaini ovens, haven't been able to get to a place with an earthstone yet though.

Curious to hear your thoughts on what you saw. Did you happen to take pics? If so, please post.

Biga has two earthstones at their original Southfield location.

I would get several.


Which SF are you going to fit 15 pies in?

Didn't get any posable pictures of the ovens, but the woodstones are used by California Pizza Kitchen, and a local place called Crispellis uses Mugnainis. The one with yellow brick is CPK (Woodstone) and the other one is Crispellis (Mugnaini).

Here's an alternative option. It's the only conveyor hearth system with high heat

sorry i should say is the only one I know.  But apparently there are many others.
