Old World Cooking With Modern Convenience
HPC Forno de Pizza
“The most beautiful things in life are not physical things. They’re people, places, memories, and pictures. They’re feelings and moments, and smiles and laughter (Joanie SLM).” HPC Forno de Pizza creates opportunities for families and friends to come together to celebrate traditions through cooking with fire.
HPC Fire has provided Forno de Pizza with flame sensing technology and technological support since 2009. In 2020, HPC officially acquired Forno de Pizza to take the company to new heights and to offer customers outdoor dining products. Hugo Laranja’s true passion for the engineering design and mission for the oven to be safe, aesthetically pleasing, and simplistic to use made for a perfect union with HPC.
This Tech Talk will highlight HPC’s Forno De Pizza oven discussing its unique design, applications, aesthetics, and functionality while comparing it to competitor ovens.
Size:
Purchasing an appliance is a huge investment. Correct sizing of a wood-burning oven is critical to the oven’s ability to function properly yielding even cooking and reliability. HPC Forno de Pizza utilizes a 3 part design: the monolithic oven, hearth, and cart. The perfectly sized oven paired with its’ three different configurations streamlines the process for customers and offers versatility and portability. When first starting out Hugo shared how he would often cater events displaying the oven’s usability. Per Hugo,” I easily transported my oven and could adapt to each locations’ set up with the use of the cart, or using a customer’s existing outdoor countertop. At each event, Forno de Pizza proved its concept of design.”

Applications:
HPC Forno de Pizza is truly a unique oven offering a variety of customizable options that appeal to your desired aesthetic. The design of the Forno de Pizza allows it to be portable with the use of the cart, placed on a countertop with the stainless steel flange, or built-in as a permanent fixture. Per Hugo, “Customers receive a ready to use hybrid oven that can be used anywhere. Just pick a spot hook up the gas line and you are ready to get cooking.”
Aesthetics:
HPC Forno de Pizza is handcrafted in the USA. As always, HPC utilizes the finest materials. The Forno De Pizza is made from a lightweight, high-grade, reinforced refractory material. HPC’s unit is not mended together but instead is formed in a monolithic cast. It undergoes a calcification process which creates a desirable hardness similar to ceramic. The product is lightweight and can withstand temperatures as high as 2400 degrees. To complete the unit HPC offers six different colors of recycled glass as well as custom finishes to achieve a personalized aesthetic. HPC’s proprietary methods ensure that the oven performs reliably while maintaining its eye-catching look. The igloo shape that the Forno De Pizza employs is a proven method of cooking that has been around for nearly one thousand years. Unlike other ovens on the market, HPC Forno de Pizza does not require a chimney stack. Our exclusive ventilation technology allows the oven to retain the smoke and heat longer yielding bolder flavors and even cooking. HPC pays homage to the classic wood-fired ovens dating back to the Greeks while paying special attention to the beauty and functionality that is curated to last the test of time.
Functionality:
The HPC Forno de Pizza is a hybrid oven that offers two sources of controlled fuel. The flame sensing gas burner is operated by the electronic ignition system which ensures safe oven starts as well as saves on fuel when the burner is not being utilized. The gas burner offers many conveniences beyond controlled heat. It can also be used as a log lighter, and an oven light to improve visibility during cooking. The wood-burning features play to the senses and memories while adding layers of flavor to your meals. The convenience and ability to utilize both sources simultaneously or on their own creates limitless opportunities.
