How Marra Forni Achieves the Perfect Italian-American Blend

Marra Forni's cofounders, the Marra brothers, experienced the 'wow' effect created by the aroma and look of brick firsthand when they were school kids. With the unforgettable memories of dining on their grandmother's grilled pizza, Enzo and Francesco Marra established a food distribution business in America in 1999, importing specialty foods from Italy. After 15 years of successful operation, this enterprise evolved into a pizza oven brand, manufacturing the first brick oven in the States. Today, the brand is respected for being the fastest-growing brick oven manufacturer worldwide. 

Marra Forni ovens' success rests on combining two world-famous features: the Italian tradition and aesthetics and the American quality and cost-efficiency. The cement of this perfect combination is innovation and technology. The Italian-inspired brick-by-brick production process was completed with cutting-edge technologies to achieve the best temperature retention, deck rotation speed, and cooking control. The result is the handcrafted Marra Forni rotators, artfully tailored to address the unique needs of different restaurateurs, from fast-casuals and pizzeria chains to universities, hotels, and even mobile operations.

Marra Forni pizza ovens retain the classical Italian style without compromising on functionality. Speed and efficiency are the cores of food service establishments. Therefore, these ovens are engineered to streamline the pizza production line. Marra Forni rotators can churn out flavorful pizzas in less than 90 seconds. Electric brick ovens can cut the cooking time even by half. Marra Forni maximizes flexibility to offer something for various cooking applications, including on-premises catering. You can always accomplish elegance and performance in your pizza business with endless customer configuration.

Marra Forni values people's right to eat the most delicious pizza possible. That's why they quickly sensed the vibrant trend of mobile catering and started an authentic product line of trailers and portable ovens. Also, the Marra brothers are dedicated to bringing their grandma's memorable pizza taste to America. They know it takes talented chefs and pizzaiolos, besides high-quality ovens, to cook pizzas everybody craves. Thus, they opened a Pizza University & Culinary Arts Center, the first of its kind, where experienced chefs train pizzaiolos in different pizza styles.
