1889. Where it all began.

Pizza got its name, and fire found its purpose.

In 1889, pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito lit the oven for Queen Margherita. That moment gave the world its most iconic dish and inspired the fire behind our name. A nod to Naples, a promise to pizza.

2022. BUILT FROM EXPERIENCE.

Forno1889 was born from fire, not fashion.

We started ECOFUEL™ in 2014 to make cleaner, better firewood and spent years fuelling homes and hard-working kitchens.

By 2022, we knew what pizza ovens really needed. So we built it: a briquette with no bark, no drama, just clean-burning beechwood that performs.

Forno1889 isn’t just a brand. It’s
what chefs ask for by name.

2025. FUEL WITH PURPOSE.

We believe in fire that does more than cook.

Fire brings people together. It anchors kitchens, traditions, and the stories we pass down.

At Forno1889®, we craft fuel for chefs who know the difference and who care about consistency, sustainability, and flavour.

Our mission is simple: Better wood, fewer shortcuts, and fuel that earns its place in the oven. Not just for this season. For the next generation too.

Let’s talk pizza fuel.
