The centerpiece of the Courtyard Garden is the fully functional hand-built wood fired pizza oven. Lizzette’s oven is modeled after classic New Zealand backyard pizza oven design. It reaches a high temperature of 400 degrees Celsius after approximately four hours of pre-heating, and thanks to the insulation structure in the dome, it keeps it heat until the next day, making it ideal for slow cooking or making stews overnight.
