Chicago Brick Oven CBO-750 Built-In Wood Fired Pizza Oven
The Chicago Brick Oven CBO-750 is positioned as a best-in-class built‑in wood‑fired unit for homeowners and light commercial installs because of its large cooking chamber, heavy refractory dome and excellent heat retention that deliver authentic Neapolitan-style results. Compared with the imported Italian stone ovens on this list it typically offers a more affordable entry price and simpler masonry integration for custom outdoor kitchens, while sacrificing some of the rapid heat‑up and stainless finishing of premium Italian brands.
