Witt Rotante

What a piece of kit! It turns out a restaurant quality pizza in 60 - 80 seconds depending on the size and toppings. I had trouble lighting the booster burner at first, so I resorted to lighting it without the round stone in place in order to see the burner strip,(as the spy hole mentioned in the instructions does not seem to be in the right place), easily fitting it after it was lit. The main burner lights very easily and if it should accidentally be turned off whilst getting used to adjusting the temperature, it can easily be relit. Make sure if using the booster burner that the rotating mechanism is turning the stone, or it may crack. Mine came with two gas regulators, but as I use a propane cylinder with a 5/8" LH thread, I used my own regulator. It's a heavy oven and realistically requires two people to move it safely, but the weight comes from the quality materials it's made from. I purchased a separate infrared temperature sensor which tells me that it reaches 400°C in about 25 minutes - plenty hot enough to cook a pizza, though if left longer it will reach closer to 500°C. At these temperatures, it's very easy to burner yourself, so invest in a pizza peel with a long enough handle to keep your hands away from the entrance to the oven. This is an expensive oven, but the ease of use and quality of the pizza it can turn out make it worthwhile and I expect to be using this oven for years to come.

Updated review. I strongly advise against buying this oven. It is a massively overpriced piece of kit which looks great, but sadly doesn't function as would be expected for something of this expense. In the almost three years since we have had the oven, it has not had anything like the use I had hoped for because it is a poor quality item. Along with the original issue below, the replacement oven then developed 'a known' fault with the ignition over time. Despite it being admitted by Witt's own repair company that it is a known fault, no action was taken to fix it for me despite having gone through numerous rounds of communication with Amazon and the Manufacturer; there is simply no interest from them trying to resolve (due to the time since bought). Although the UK consumer rights act means there should be a means of redress for items that have not performed as expected, it's very challenging in practice to actually seek that redress. My only hope is that individuals thinking of buying this, see this review and pause and look at other more cost effective ovens that actually work as described. ------ Our Witt Oven is currently in for repair as the bottom burner is faulty. It has now been almost a month and the oven has not been returned (and I have had no response to my last two emails). This is very poor, particularly for a product that is a lot more expensive than competitor ovens. There are some clear design and quality issues and so I am requesting Amazon to issue a refund. I note also that at least one other buyer has had the same issue. I also spent £50 on the cover so very unhappy about this. It is a real shame, because it is a fantastic looking piece of kit.

This is without a doubt a fantastic pizza oven. Cooks the greatest pizzas to perfection. Nothing comes close. The rotating stone makes it so easy. just wonderful. Beware though! The oven comes fitted with a weird european (i think) gas regulator. So you cannot use it out the box. You need to buy a uk one and fight like anything to get the host off and swap it. This is really hard and you'll probably end up taking a hacksaw to it....... Something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gas-Regulator-Mikalor-Stainless-Flogas/dp/B07574V4BR/ref=asc_df_B07574V4BR is required. Also it totally impossible to see if the under stone burner is lit. You can hear the woosh as it lights, but you simply dont know if its still lit when you let the wheel out. So there is a fair bit of anxiety! There is a supposed hole to see if its lit, but I cant see any gas pilot light there. Its just too bright outside! EDIT - turns out that the reason I couldnt tell was that it wasnt lit at all and was faulty. Ignition did not spark. So thats a serious design flaw. But, this really is a terrific bit of kit for evenings in the garden, if you get one that works!

It's a beast with 16 inches of space inside. Very quick to heat up only 15 minutes. Turn heat to medium when cooking pizza only takes a minute to cook so don't leave it. Turntable makes it easy. Great machine

Having experienced the other well known brands I was looking for something a little more idiot proof and took the plunge. Have to say, very impressed with the product, gets up to temperature very quickly and with the dual burner control easy to maintain the desired temperature. The spinning stone is the reason you purchase this oven and it work flawlessly. Great pizzas every time.

Made about 10 pizzas before the burner stopped working - cue *absolutely appalling customer service* The oven appears well made, looks great, cooks a pizza in 1 minute flat - so far, so amazing. However after using about 10 times I noticed the crust wasn’t cooking so well - turns out the burner under the pizza stone had just stopped working. This was 8 weeks ago - contacted Witt via the only mechanism they have - an email form. 2 weeks after contacting them some random 3rd party contacted me asking when I wanted to ship it back - this thing is *HUGE*. There isn’t a cardboard box big enough to ship it in. Was told that an “on site technician” would visit - which sounds great - except nobody showed up - so an £800 pizza oven that cooks 10 pizzas before turning into a useless garden ornament - I mean the pizzas are good - but they’re not *that good* - save yourself the pain and buy the Ooni - turning the pizza by hand really isn’t that hard

Nice oven - but the stone has never turned consistently - stops and has to be pushed around. It is a shame as looks good otherwise - just doesn;t work properly.

What a beautiful piece of kit! Stunning! Not been able to use it yet as I’ve never owned a gas cylinder before and found the guidance on this to be rubbish. You can’t actually get them in many places in the UK - try B&Q. Propane is better for the UK given the low temperature and the recommendation for pizza ovens but the fitting is for Bupane or whatever it’s called. Had to cut regulator and pipe off and now struggling to fit new one. Please Witt don’t assume everyone knows how to get your oven connected to gas - your beautiful oven is just some decoration in my garden until it has power.

Meiner Meinung nach der beste Ofen überhaupt. Vorher hatte ich den OONI, aber mit diesem ist es eine ganz andere Geschichte. Es ist einfach perfekt. PS: Ich habe den Originalstein durch den "BISCOTTO SAPUTO" ersetzt, jetzt ist er perfekt

Sehr guter Ofen. Beim bestücken mit der Pizza zerkratzt leider das Metall vorne sehr schnell. Lösung wäre den Pizzastein ( Nicht den Drehstein ) etwas zu vergrößern nach vorne etwas zu verlängern. Dazu eine Wärmedämmung und der Ofen wäre nicht nur sehr gut sondern Perfekt.

Die Maße sind größer als Konkurrenz und das Ergebnis ist super
