Pizza Wood – Italian Blend

Burns great and perfect size for my Ooni 16" oven.

Liked everything

C'mon... it's wood. It burns. It gets me hot... ummm I mean my pizza oven gets hot. Get some!

First thing I noticed was the wood quality is very good and I love that it’s an Italian blend. When testing to make some pizza it burned evenly and came out great! Great product would highly recommend

I used this in both my smoker and my offset. It worked great! Very highly recommend, I hope that this helps

Great product but geesh very expensive for the amount you receive. Those are some bougie pizzas given the price of the wood.

Burns nice and even

I'll round this from 3.5 stars to four stars. We tested it in our little pizza oven that runs on pellets (no motor, just natural burn). We needed fire starter material to get it going and saw that this wood claims that you don't need any additional starter material.

Well...it's true, to a certain extent. It's just not exactly what we expected. Maybe expectations were a little too high, and maybe the conditions weren't ideal for lighting, but we had trouble getting it to burn enough to start the pellets on fire.

We used this as a starter (like it mentions it can be), and even split the little blocks into small peices. Even with that, it took about as long to like the pellets as it did when we just use natural kindling we have on hand (plus paper, etc.).

We wanted something that would be pure wood to kindle the fire. There's those fuzz balls that we'll look into next, but with these blocks, we had high hopes.

They did light, but we just couldn't get the flames going very fast to light the pellets along with it.

So, manage your expectations with these. They did light after a long while we got the whole thing going, but it wasn't as simple as toss the wood in with a match.

I really liked the consistency I got with these. The flavor was awesome. They are not various sizes so they all burn about the same.

I never thought I'd be getting firewood on Amazon but here we are. My local hardware stores have not caught on to the pizza oven thing so these products are pretty challenging to come by around me. I think the product title for this wood need to mention that this is walnut firewood. Even if I wanted to cut these for myself, I would be challenged to even come up with reasonably priced walnut logs. These are so handy and smell so good when burning. Walnut is also pretty easy to light, and this box has some small kindling to help you get it going. I think it said to expect about 20 pizzas worth in here so It's going to a long way.

Got this today and had to try it out immediately. Made pizza in my wood burning oven tonight and it was excellent! First of all, it's really small which makes it easier to work with in a small pizza oven. Lights quickly, heats beautifully and the pizza was delicious! Highly recommended!

This product is a box of kiln-dried wood, chopped into small pieces roughly the size of two Jenga pieces stuck together. It is advertised as being perfect for use in outdoor pizza ovens, but certainly it can be used in any live fire application.

The wood itself is very nice, easy to light, and aesthetically pleasing to stack and display. I am not sure why the wood was this expensive, but it's really good wood for cooking. I have also tried whittling with a piece and despite being brittle, there is some beautiful grain in there.

Unlike apple or oakwood chips, this wood does not seem to impart much of a flavor, despite the smoke smelling very pleasant. Perhaps that's why it's suggested for pizzas, where most smoked hardwoods would clash with the taste of pizza.

Overall yes it is incredible wood and I would easily use it for everything if it was a little cheaper. But I guess if you've gone out of your way to get a nice outdoor pizza oven as well as a quality recipe, you might as well go ahead and spring for the best wood to cook it with!

I've tried a few different pizza woods in my outdoor pizza oven and this works pretty well. It does heat up nicely and burns evenly. However I don't know if it works so well and adds so much flavor that I'd plan on paying fifty dollars for another small box. I anticipated that the box might not be all that big, but a person would be lucky to get two uses out of one box. When they mention being able to make 20 pizzas with a single box, I guess that means all in one sitting. Otherwise it's making for some really expensive pizzas!

• Burns well
• Adds flavor
• Most expensive pizza oven wood I've used

Okay, it's nice wood and I will try it for smoking meat although I have my doubts it will impart that good a flavor. We also have a pizza oven and will try it in that. I know there are a lot of company's offering this kind of wood and they are all expensive, this brand appears to be the highest priced.
There are some folks that swear by wood of this kind, I will keep an open mind on how my smoked meat will turn out but not on the price.

This pizza oven fire starter blend is really fantastic. The Italian blend has quickly become a favorite of mine. Burns really good and evenly, easy to start and the price is more than reasonable. I would not hesitate to buy this one again and I hope you find this review helpful!

This pizza wood burns well and imparts a clean flavor to our pizza and other foods.  My box was not packed full like the one in the photo. The first photo attached shows what it looked like.  There are kindling pieces mixed in, although not in a corner as shown.  The lengths are pretty even throughout. The wood is dense so it burns well. The second photo attached shows a comparison of the ends. The wood splits fit well in my Ooni and burn evenly. They burn hot and impart a nice flavor. Everything you want from a wood fired oven. 

I'm not sure what type of wood this is. It just says nuts so it could be pecan or cherry or a blend.  I'm not experienced enough to recognize the difference. I know oak and hickory flavors but that's it. Regardless, this is good wood. I'm not sure about the price. I usually buy locally for less.  I used this for pizza and also a pan of veggies. The flavor was great. It burns well and the size is just right for our Ooni.

I had a small pizza party this evening and fired up my Ooni Karu 12 with a base of lump charcoal and topped with this wood. Each piece was the right size, fitting easily through the rear fuel door, and each ignited quickly and provided hot, rolling flames.

The fire was clean, not leaving annoying soot.

Basically, the wood performed exactly as one would expect from qualify, kiln-dried hard wood.

As an added bonus, the various species in the mix as traditionally used in Naples. With a quick cook, it likely doesn’t really make a flavor difference, but your guests will be convinced they do it they’re around the oven, sipping their drinks and watching you cook their pizzas, as you explain the history and artistry of the pizzaiolo.

Was great for pizza oven! Got it to 700 degrees quickly and pizza was out in less then 5.

These wood starters work well but are very expensive for what you get.

I have a variety of grills to choose from, and chose these smaller sticks for using in my small portable grills, and for adding flavor to my large grills when wanted.

This wood lights quickly, burns evenly and gives a wonderful smoky flavor, the pieces are evenly sized and I found nothing alarming in the box (unlike other wood boxes where I found spraypaint on the pieces). The pieces are stacked quite tightly in, there were no large gaps between the chunks in the box.

However, the price is prohibitive to me. These sticks have a hefty price for convenience, and that's not my thing. I can take my mini-saw which costs about the same as this box and go to work trimming trees in my yard, and in a few months of drying and seasoning have much more wood than this for free.

These work fine as starters for larger hunks of wood, but so do a few rolls of wood wool, which is much cheaper.

I'm willing to forgive a little bit on the price since oaks are slow-growing and one of my favorite woods to cook with. If money is no object and you want firewood asap, this box could be right for you. I personally will be looking for better deals though.

Poco Bero Classic Oak – Kiln-Dried Pizza Oven Wood + Firestarter – 5.5 Inch Cooking Wood – 416 Cubic Inches (6 – 8 LBS) – Sustainably Sourced Firewood For Cooking!

I own a small, tabletop-style, wood-burning pizza oven. It needs small wood pieces to work effectively due to the size of the firebox. These pre-split, kiln-dried wood chunks are perfect for this need. They lit easily, thanks in part to the included bundle of thinner starter "kindling" wood. The wood blend chosen created a lovely flavor in my pizzas.

I don't have a pizza oven but I thought these might provide an added layer of flavor in my smoker. I was right. After getting a charcoal fire into coals, I added several of these oak wood sticks, water soaked them for a couple hours ahead of time, to the coals. They provided a light smoke that was long lasting. Likewise the flavor is light and did not over power my chicken. Recommend!

instead of using these for my pizza oven, I use it in the backyard fire pit. I find it is the perfect 3rd tier for fire building. They are great because I am teaching my son how to build a fire from small starters to larger logs . They go right up in flames, and burn slow and hot. the fact they are kiln dried is a bonus.

I picked this up for my smoker as we do not have a pizza oven yet, though I've really been thinking about getting one. Just don't know if we'd use it enough. It is good wood, nice small size and quite dry. It starts and burns well, no problem there. the small size does make it good for smokers as well. The wood is okay, though some pieces are slightly dirty and not exact "premium".

My thoughts, how is this an Italian blend, it's just different types of wood, nothing exotic or anything. I guess when I hear something like Italian blend, I am thinking of different herbs. Not like there are Italian wood in here. So where are they getting that? There are companies that make smoking wood with herbs it in, that is more of a blend to me. Not saying this is bad, just seems more a marketing ploy to get more profits for less. I also don't see how it's premium? Course, these are just my opinions. Not knocking this, just don't see how it's "better" or "special". More so being it's very pricey for a little box of wood. Guess it's different for specific pizza oven wood? I really don't get it.

Like I said, I am not saying this is terrible, just try to be honest so people can make a proper decision. And to point how some things.

My pizza had the best wood flavor after using this wood. It was super easy to light and burned completely. Love it but I checked the price and doubt I can afford to buy more due to the fact that I need 1/2 box for one pizza party :)

Bought this for my initial firing of a new Gozney Dome pizza oven. Pieces were perfect length, but were a bit on the thinner side (around an 1" in diameter for most of the pieces), which means they burn very quickly once they catch on fire. That being said, it kept a very high temperature while it did burn and gave an excellent flavor overall to the final pizza.

I've tried pure oak since then and the flavor just wasn't quite as robust as with the Italian Blend mix, but it could be completely in my head. The smaller pieces do burn quite quickly, so I would recommend burning your solid oak first to get the oven to temperature, and then using these once you start to cook to get the smoky flavors out of the mixed woods.

I was happy with the purchase, but this is hands-down the most expensive wood that I've ever bought in my life...
