Moving a Finished Pizza Oven with a Forklift

If it is a Mattone Barile or Mattone Barile Grande, I’d leave her where she’s at and build again. The Barile’s have hundreds of fire brick and each fire brick has mortar on 5 sides (so that’s 5 places to crack the mortar) which is possible during the stress placed on it during the move.

Next Question - Did you fill all the pizza oven base concrete block cores (containing rebar) with concrete mix (as shown on the instructions) or leave them hollow? If you used rebar, you SHOULD be good to go. If the cores are empty - I’d leave her where she’s at and build a new oven.

This is a good time to mention that we do offer discounts for repeat customers :+1:

It your oven is a CORTILE BARILE or MATTONE CUPOLA, it can be done and it HAS been done!

Here’s a pic of the COTIE FAMILY Cortile Barile pizza oven moving from one house to another in my home state of Florida. If you click the image or the link below it, you will see several pics of the oven on the move…
