Our Story

The Heart of Ovenora

It started with a name: Nora.

Ovenora isn't just a business name; it is a tribute. My grandmother, Nora, was the heart and soul of our family. Born in Italy, she didn’t just cook food; she created memories.

I grew up watching her hands work the dough, listening to the crackle of the fire, and learning that the secret ingredient to any meal is the love you put into making it. But the tradition went deeper than just the food. Nora’s family didn’t just bake pizza—they built the ovens from scratch. They understood that to get that perfect, authentic crust, you needed an oven built with integrity, heat, and soul.

From Passion to Purpose

 

I founded Ovenora to turn my grandmother's passion into a legacy. I wanted to capture the magic of those Italian Sunday dinners and bring it to backyards everywhere.

We aren't just selling appliances; we are sharing a piece of my heritage. Every Ovenora oven is designed to mimic the performance of those hand-built family ovens, blending classic Italian craftsmanship with modern durability. We want you to experience the joy of slow food, real fire, and gathering around a flame with the people you love.

 

A Mission Bigger Than Pizza

 

As the years went by, we watched the woman who held our family memories together slowly lose her own. Nora was diagnosed with dementia, a battle that impacted our family deeply.

While she may have lost her memory, we haven't lost her spirit. To honor her life and the love she poured into us:

We donate 10% of our profits to dementia research and support charities.

When you buy an Ovenora, you aren’t just getting a world-class pizza oven. You are helping families navigate the challenges of dementia and funding the search for a cure.

 

Our Promise to You

 

We build ovens the way Nora cooked, without cutting corners.

  • Authentic Heritage: Rooted in Italian tradition, engineered for the modern home.
  • Built to Last: Durable materials that stand the test of time (and high heat).

Welcome to the Ovenora family. Because every slice starts with fire, and every oven starts with love.
