Valoriani Baby 75 Gas Pizza Oven
Considered entertainers cooking for six to ten guests
Coastal holiday homes and short-stay properties needing repeatable, push-button cooking
Owners who want AVPN-style Neapolitan results at home
Italian Refractory Pizza Oven with AGA-Approved Gas Burner
The Valoriani Baby 75 Gas is a fully refractory pizza oven, handbuilt in Reggello, Tuscany by the Valoriani family since 1890. It pairs a 75 × 75 cm cotto-clay cooking floor with the AGA-approved Spitfire gas burner, cooking three pizzas at a time at authentic Neapolitan 400 to 450 degree Celsius temperatures.
Perfect For
- Architect-designed outdoor kitchens where the chamber needs to read as a real Italian oven, not a sheet-metal cabinet
- Considered entertainers cooking for six to ten guests, where wood storage and lighting time is not the right brief
- Coastal holiday homes and short-stay properties needing repeatable, push-button cooking from any guest
- Owners who want AVPN-style Neapolitan results at home, with the gas certainty and the cotto-clay floor traditional Italian pizzerias use
Why You'll Love This
Real Cotto-Clay Cooking Floor, Made in the Same Tuscan Furnace Since 1890
The Baby 75 is built around a 75 × 75 cm cooking floor of cotto clay, fired in the Valoriani family's own furnace at Via Caselli alla Fornace, Reggello. You cook directly on the clay, the way a Neapolitan pizzeria does. The floor stores heat, releases it through the base of the pizza, and gives a crust that no steel deck reproduces.
AGA-Approved Spitfire Gas Burner
The Spitfire residential gas burner is the only burner with AGA certification specifically for Valoriani ovens. It runs on LPG or natural gas, has eight flame settings, and modulates flame intensity automatically when the oven reaches set temperature. From cold to pizza-cooking temperature in approximately 30 minutes, then steady-state without further intervention.
Compact Footprint for a Real Italian Oven
External dimensions are 101 × 100 × 61 cm for the oven body, 220 kg. On the optional Valoriani stand, total height is 164 cm. Compact enough to install in a courtyard or under a covered alfresco, large enough internally for three 30 cm pizzas at a time, or a 4 kg lamb shoulder, or an 8 kg sourdough bake.
The Valoriani Family Legacy
Refrattari Valoriani has been producing refractory pizza ovens in Reggello, Tuscany since 1890. The company is one of the very few oven makers that produces every refractory component inside its own kiln; no outsourced refractory, no concrete substitute. The professional Valoriani range carries AVPN accreditation, the certifying body for authentic Neapolitan pizza.
Features
75 × 75 cm Cotto Clay Cooking Floor
Cotto-clay cooking floor, fired in the Valoriani furnace, safe to cook directly on. Stores heat for repeated cooks, recovers between pizzas in under 60 seconds. Three 30 cm pizzas fit comfortably with peel clearance.
AGA-Approved Spitfire Modulating Burner
Tailor-made Spitfire gas burner, AGA-approved for residential use in Australia. Eight flame settings (1 minimum, 7 maximum). Modulating flame mimics wood burning, dropping intensity when setpoint is reached. Electronic display for temperature monitoring. Requires final connection by a licensed gas fitter.
Powder-Coated Steel Dome with Full Insulation Pack
The exterior is a powder-coated steel dome, available in Red, White or Black. The dome contains upper and lower insulation packed around the Valoriani refractory inner chamber. Mosaic dome covering is available as a custom finish for a more traditional aesthetic.
Ø 15 cm Stainless Flue with Rain Cap
Ships with a 900 mm length Ø 15 cm stainless steel flue manifold and rain cap, suitable for permanent outdoor installation. Front opening 36 × 21 cm sits at a working height appropriate to the Valoriani stand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is AVPN accreditation and does the Baby 75 carry it?
A: AVPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana) is the Naples-based body that certifies authentic Neapolitan pizza. Valoriani's professional Verace and Rotating ranges carry AVPN accreditation. The Baby 75 is the residential version built in the same Reggello furnace, with the same cotto clay floor specification.
Q: Can the Baby 75 run on both LPG and natural gas?
A: Yes. The Spitfire residential gas burner is supplied configured for LPG or natural gas, specified at order. Final connection is by a licensed gas fitter, who will commission the oven against your residential gas supply.
Q: How long does the Baby 75 take to reach pizza-cooking temperature?
A: Approximately 30 minutes from cold to 400 degrees Celsius on the gas burner. The modulating burner then holds temperature automatically. Cotto clay floor recovery between pizzas is under 60 seconds.
Q: Is the oven suitable for coastal installation?
A: Yes, designed for outdoor use. We recommend a cover and minimum 100 mm clearance to combustible surfaces. Salt-spray zones benefit from a cover when not in use, to protect the powder-coated steel dome.
Q: Can I use the Baby 75 as a wood oven later if I want to?
A: Yes. Valoriani Baby ovens are dual-fuel-capable. The Spitfire gas burner can be removed and the oven returned to wood firing without modification. The cotto-clay floor is built for both.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: Manufacturer warranty applies through Euroquip, the Australian importer. My Acre administers the customer side and coordinates any service. Final warranty terms confirmed on order.
