Why Empire's Mastro Pizza Oven is the Best Choice for Your Pizzeria
Whether you're crafting Neapolitan pies or New York-style slices, your oven plays a critical role in flavor, texture, and operational efficiency. Empire’s Mastro Stone Deck Pizza Oven blends the authenticity of old-world baking with the innovation of modern engineering, making it a smart investment for pizzerias seeking both tradition and performance. With its balance of old-world baking tradition and cutting-edge efficiency, the Mastro is redefining how great pizza gets made.

Authentic Stone Deck Performance with Lower Operating Costs
The Mastro Stone Deck Pizza Oven recreates the signature bake of traditional coal-fired ovens—without the excessive fuel consumption. At the core of its performance is Empire’s advanced steam tube technology. A single burner heats pressurized tubes, turning water into vapor that circulates throughout the oven chamber. This system distributes radiant heat evenly across the entire baking surface, ensuring consistent results on every deck and in every corner.
Consistency Meets Cost Savings
Many pizzerias assume high heat equals high energy bills—but Mastro proves otherwise. Unlike traditional ovens that rely on multiple burners, Mastro’s vapor tube system uses a single burner to maintain high temperatures efficiently throughout the entire product zone. This design can reduce energy use by up to 75% compared to conventional ovens, helping you cut costs without sacrificing bake quality.
You’ll also benefit from faster recovery times, more consistent deck temperatures, and reduced downtime. It’s a win-win for busy kitchens balancing quality with operational efficiency!
More Than Just Pizza
Mastro’s high-quality refractory baking surface and steam-ready decks make it ideal for more than pizza. It’s also a powerful tool for baking artisan breads, allowing pizzerias to expand their offerings with ease. From crispy crusts to chewy interiors, the Mastro delivers the consistency needed for a wide range of baked goods.
Designed for Pizzerias of All Sizes
Whether you're a small local pizzeria or a high-volume restaurant, the Mastro oven fits seamlessly into your kitchen. Its compact footprint and rugged construction make it a versatile, durable choice for any size operation.
