Outdoor entertaining rises to delicious new heights with the addition of a backyard pizza oven. According to the patio pros at Torrison Stone & Garden in Durham, Connecticut, stone pizza- oven construction has become the hottest homeowner project in the recent Covid years. Portable stainless steel pizza ovens ”“ high on wedding registry lists ”“ are a popular alternative, so the outdoor living experts at Torrison are giving Connecticut residents the chance to win a”¯Solo Stove”¯Pi Pizza Oven on National Pizza Day, Feb. 9.
“The holidays may be over, but we wanted to give our great customers another gift,” said”¯Tyler Gerry, owner of”¯the landscape construction company.”¯“We also want to encourage homeowners to plan now for their spring outdoor projects.”
Gerry said that anyone who visits the Torrison showroom at 422 Main St. can complete an entry form. The winner of the oven, which retails for $630, will be selected and notified on Feb. 9.
“The trend of hosting personal pizza parties shows no signs of slowing down,” Gerry said.”¯“It”™s a fun family activity that allows people to gather outside and enjoy nature beyond the warmer weather months.”
Gerry notes that a standard oven maxes out at 550°F, but pizza requires temperatures up to 900°F to achieve a crispy exterior crust with a delicious chewy interior.”¯ The high heat also reduces the length of time it takes for a pizza to bake, so foodies can customize their own without the long wait. Portable pizza ovens can either be powered through propane or wood. The oven can be placed on any sturdy, waist-level surface that can handle the heat.
While at the Torrison showroom, people can browse the indoor and outdoor spaces for design inspiration. The Fire Room and Tap Room showcase indoor options, while a 10,000-square-foot outdoor showroom offers gardens and landscaping surrounding walking paths leading to several different fireplace and firepit areas with seating.”¯Additionally, homeowners can consult with an on-site professional.
“Working with an on-site professional from beginning to end actually saves time and money, while preventing costly mistakes,” Gerry added. “Most important, a comprehensive plan brings all of a project”™s elements together in one seamless design.”
Further, homeowners can”¯bring their design vision from concept to”¯reality with Torrison Stone”¯& Garden”™s computerized process that produces a 3D rendering of the project upgrade.
Said Gerry: “Our goal with every patio and outdoor kitchen design is to extend the living and entertaining space and season.”
