Witt Piccolo Rotante 13"

Witt Piccolo Rotante 13 is an outdoor gas pizza oven with a motor-driven cordierite stone for pizzas up to 33 cm. One C-shaped burner heats the oven; this model has no separate burner beneath the stone. The maker states a 500°C maximum and a 15-minute preheat. Stone rotation reduces the need to turn the pizza by hand.
