Polito Antonius Garden Oven
Polito · Pizza Ovens
The owner's insights on the Antonius
The Antonius is the simplest way into genuine Polito construction. It's a wood-burning garden oven, handmade in Melbourne from the same refractory dome and cooking floor mix as the rest of the range, reaching working temperature in 45 to 60 minutes and holding that heat across pizza, bread and slow-cooked sessions from a single fire.
Where the Giotto and Donatello II are built around a stand and a stand price, the Antonius is the oven on its own: no colour range, no bundled stand. It's finished in either a natural rendered look or charcoal, and pairs with the wider Polito accessory range, including the purpose-built Antonius Tower Stand, an Alemano temperature gauge, a pizza stone, a three-piece tool set and oven wheels, all sold separately.
If you want a faster heat-up, more colour choice or genuine portability, the Giotto suits better. If you're cooking in volume for a crowd, the Donatello II's 960mm floor and three-pizza capacity is the one to look at. The Antonius is the right call when you want authentic Polito performance in the garden without the scale, the colour options or the price of the larger two.
Polito's own consumer site isn't currently taking orders, so My Acre is your source for the Antonius; we work from Polito's published specifications and their Melbourne workshop provides ongoing service support through us for installation, accessories and after-sales care.

What's included
The Antonius is sold as the oven itself, handmade and ready to fire once it's positioned:
- Antonius Garden Oven
The Antonius Tower Stand and the wider accessory range (temperature gauge, pizza stone, tool set, oven wheels) are sold separately.
Fitting the Antonius in
The Antonius doesn't come with a stand built in, so plan for the purpose-built Antonius Tower Stand or a suitably sturdy, non-combustible surface before it arrives. It's designed as a freestanding garden oven rather than a benchtop or built-in installation, so give it clear space around it for loading and unloading.
Frequently asked questions
Does it include a stand?
No. The Polito Antonius Tower Stand is sold separately and is the recommended floor stand for this oven. It's designed exclusively for the Antonius and available through My Acre.
Can I buy the Antonius directly from Polito?
Polito's own consumer site isn't currently taking orders, so My Acre is your source for the Antonius. We work from Polito's published specifications, and their Melbourne team supports the oven through us for installation, accessories and after-sales care.
How long does it take to reach cooking temperature?
The Antonius typically reaches working temperature within 45 to 60 minutes. Once it's there, the refractory materials hold heat well across extended cooking sessions.
What can I cook in it?
The oven is designed primarily for wood-fired pizza but is equally suited to bread, roasts, slow-cooked meats and vegetables. Its refractory cooking floor and dome produce an even, radiant heat suited to a wide range of dishes.
Are accessories available?
Yes. The full Polito accessory range, including the Alemano Temperature Gauge, Polito Pizza Stone, 3-piece Oven Tool Set and Oven Wheels, is compatible with the Antonius Garden Oven and available through My Acre.
