The Best Pizza Ovens for Florida Living & Your Backyard

One of the joys of having your own
personal backyard pizza oven is the ease of making meals authentic and fast. At
Bay Breeze Patio, we carry HPC Fire Inspired as well as Alpha Ovens. These
ovens cook fast at high temperatures, and produce one-of-kind results.  

Here’s a look at the benefits and offerings of HPC Fire Inspired pizza ovens and Alfa Pizza Ovens.

HPC Fire Inspired

One of the joys of HPC Fire Inspired pizza oven is that it reaches 950˚F in just 15 minutes for genuine Neapolitan style pizza cooked in 90 seconds. A trusted fire provider since 1975, HPC Fire Inspired has been at the forefront of fire feature products for decades and features several different series. The Forno Series Pizza Oven is a dual fuel oven that can be wheeled around easily. Forno de Pizza’s classic design complements its black cart and intricate handcrafted glass mosaic oven. Every oven is uniquely handcrafted and is powered by HPC’s electronic ignition system. The gas valve system is the safest and most reliable on the market. With a choice of six glass mosaic colors, its elegant finish is as personal as your backyard. The Villa Series is the hearth and oven built-in. Available in LP as well as natural gas, The Villa oven is the lightest authentic brick-dual-fuel oven on the market. Created to be built-in to a 35” deep counter or more, The Villa is coined the safest operable wood and gas fueled oven and is ideal for outdoor kitchens.

 

We teamed with John at Dude. Food. Fire. and put the HPC Fire Inspired Oven to the test at a charity wine festival. See the delicious results here. Stop by our showroom to test HPC Fire, a trusted brand that lights every time. 

ALFA Wood Fire Grills 

One of the most popular backyard pizza ovens on the market today is Alfa Ovens due to their heat genius innovative technology that allows you to cook the pizza base and condiments at different temperatures. Three technologies make this possible: 

HeatKeeper™ Refractory Brick – The Heat Keeper™ brick, produced at the Alfa plant in Italy, absorbs and stores heat. The Heat Keeper™ refractory brick is crucial for quickly cooking a pizza, making it soft and crispy at the right point without burning it.

DoubleDown Ceramic Superwool® Insulation – The space between the stainless steel walls of an Alfa home oven is filled with DoubleDown Ceramic Superwool® insulation. This European ceramic fibre offers twice the heat resistance of rock wool used by other pizza oven manufacturers. It also retains heat better and allows pizzas to cook to perfection.

Patented Full Effect Full Circulation Flue System® This particular system optimizes the circulation of hot air inside Alfa ovens. Rather than being evacuated quickly through the flue, as takes place in other pizza ovens, the hot air circulates in the cooking chamber and is pushed down to further heat the refractory brick and pizza.  In Alfa ovens, the heat is pushed in an “around and down” and then conveyed by a special deflector to the flue to be expelled. In doing so, the oven always maintains the right temperature so as to optimally cook both the base and the condiments of your pizza.

Alfa has introduced its most portable and most affordable oven yet—the new gas-fired Moderno Portable. With its Italian design and innovative temperature technology, Portable is Alfa’s most compact pizza oven and is perfect for cooking one pizza at a time. Available in portable, compact, medium or large, Alfa Pizza Ovens can cook up to 5 pizzas at one time.

We are the official local retailer for HPC Fire Inspired and Alfa Ovens, and we invite you stop by our showroom at 32 Forest Shore Drive (one mile west of Silver Sands) and test for yourself the joys of a backyard, personal pizza oven.  Online purchases coming soon. For more information or discuss the joys grilling, call Wayne Paul at 850-269-4666.

Chef Chadwick Donelson, Executive Chef of Bitterroot
An exceptional meal is a combination of a thousand different decisions. Much in the same way a great chef is a blend of all the experiences he’s had along on the way. Chef Chadwick puts the very essence of every award-winning restaurant he’s been a part of into everything he creates. Bitterroot’s menu is a direct reflection of his story. His humble beginnings helping out around his local bingo parlor led to him serving on the opening team for Jim Shirley’s The Bay restaurant. From there he relocated to the DC area to work at a collection of 1-Star Michelin Restaurants that grew to achieve 2-, 3- and 4-star Michelin ratings. Today Chef Chadwick enjoys creative liberties at Bitterroot serving up the freshest foods in new and unexpected ways.

These culinary experts will mix and mingle with the crowd tasting each team’s creative bite and judging it based on taste, creativity and presentation to award this year’s Judge’s Trophy winners.

Cook team registration is now open for the 9th Annual “Eggs on the Beach” EggFest Cooking Competition on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Seascape Resort in Miramar Beach.  As one of the official Big Green Egg Festivals held around the country, Eggs on the Beach has earned a reputation as one of the most fun, cook-friendly competitions in the Southeast.

We have enjoyed growing this annual cooking competition over the past eight years, and are humbled by the outpouring of support and positive feedback for the annual event.

The event is made possible through the amazing talent and efforts of our cook teams. We’re extremely grateful for their hard work and are looking forward to welcoming back our previous participants as well as first-time competitors. In addition, we’re excited to add a new category this year—a Kids Competition!

Cook Teams are invited to create bite size portions of their favorite recipes to be judged by the public as well as honorary judges. Each team of up to six is given a large or extra-large Big Green Egg to use during the competition. Bay Breeze Patio provides the lump charcoal, fire starter, table, and tent. Tasters vote for their favorites, as teams vie for bragging rights and prizes, including the grand prize, a brand new large Big Green Egg. In addition to the People’s Choice Awards, Cook Teams may compete for Judge’s Awards, and Non-profit Teams Awards, which includes a donation toward their cause.

New to this year’s event, Eggs on the Beach will include a Junior Chefs Competition. Open to five youth cook teams, the junior cook team category will allow young chefs, ages 8-14, an opportunity to showcase their talents and compete for the grand prize—a Mini-Max Big Green Egg. Second and third place runners up will receive a grilling tool set and all winners will be recognized with a medal and bragging rights. Junior Cook Teams may include up to five young chefs and one adult chef per team, and will present their bite to the honorary judges who will evaluate each bite based on taste and presentation.

Eggs on the Beach benefits two local charities–the Fisher House of the Emerald Coast and Food for Thought.

For those who are interested in owning a Big Green Egg, demo Eggs, which will be used during the event, will be sold in advance with nest (metal stand) and plate setter for a discounted price.

Whether you prefer premium outdoor aluminum furniture, recycled composite furniture, or premium wicker furniture, we have a product line to meet your needs. Here are the benefits of each.

Aluminum Outdoor Furniture

Durable, non-rusting aluminum furniture is a popular choice for those living along the coast. There are a variety of different styles and choices for Aluminum furniture, ranging from traditional to transitional. From aluminum sling dining sets to woven cushion sectionals, there are many options with a wide variety of fabrics. The best part is that the brands we carry are built to last, and most include a 10-15-year warranty on frames, 5-year warranty on paint finishes and 2-year warranty on fabrics. 

Recycled Composite Outdoor Furniture

Designed for harsh coastal conditions, composite furniture is sustainable and long-lasting. With several brands on the market, finding the one you like the best is the hardest part. POLYWOOD is made from HDPE (high-density polyethylene), a durable plastic that is widely used in milk jugs, resulting in millions of landfill-bound and ocean-bound plastics transformed into POLYWOOD lumber each year. Also offering HDPE polymer furniture, Seaside Casual furniture is made from Envirowood, an all-weather marine grade recycled HDPE polymer – the kind found in milk jugs. The furniture is essentially maintenance-free. HDPE material is non-porous and resistant to moisture and fading. It’s built to repel insects, splinting, warping and other hazards of environmental exposure common to wood and wood fiber composite products.

Wicker

Outdoor wicker furniture, aka Resin Wicker patio furniture, can be modern, classic, or traditional. Made from long-lasting synthetic materials, outdoor wicker furniture is popular porches, decks, patios, by pools and in garden areas/sunrooms.

2023 Pantone Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, provides vibrant touch to outdoor spaces

In seeking inspiration for creating dream outdoor spaces, we often look to Pantone’s Color of the Year. The 2023 Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, is bold and vibrant.

The crimson hue is inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the strongest and brightest dyes in the world.

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, shared that her vision for the assertive shade “Is that it will encourage you to be braver with your home’s design choices.”

Viva Magenta has the potential to bring bright pops of color to flat monotone spaces through throw pillows, umbrellas, and outdoor art. For a bold approach, select vibrant magenta colored cushions and brighten the entire room.

Good patio furniture should last a minimum of 10 years. Our brands are covered by a 10- to 15-year manufacturer warranty on materials and workmanship.
