About us

The finest pizza and bakery equipment Made in Italy.

WHO WE ARE

In the late 1980’s in Verona, Italy, Ferdinando Marana had a dream that would go onto revolutionise the food industry. He dreamt of reducing the wait time taken to produce quality pizzas and to ensure that they’re consistently cooked to perfection, time and time again. After years of in-depth study, Marana Forni was born, and with it, the world’s first rotary pizza oven. The word of Marana Forni’s innovative new products and quality service spread like wildfire, and they quickly won international acclaim, becoming an institution in nearly 100 countries around the globe today.

Born out of the cobblestone steps in Verona, Marana Forni Australia has been proudly representing Italian craftmanship, excellence and innovation in Australia and throughout the Asia Pacific since opening in Austalia in 2017.

Marana Forni Australia was established through a partnership between Ferdinando Marana himself, and his Melbourne-based protégé, Corrado Passilongo, and we have been instrumental in enhancing the pizza industry below the equator ever since.

At Marana Forni Australia, we care deeply about providing our valued customers with the finest pizza and bakery equipment that stands the test of time. We pride ourselves on your premium experience with us as evidenced by our 360° range of service. From assisting you to select the right product that will deliver the best outcomes for you and your clients, to providing expertise in maintenance, support, and advice.

Il Team Marana Australia @ 2023.

Professional service and a product that cannot be rivaled.

Corrado and the team have been supplying the pizza ovens for our restaurants, 400 Gradi, since 2016. When purchasing our first Marana Forni Oven I was looking for consistency and a quality-built oven. With over 20 Marana Forni ovens purchased to date in Australia and abroad I have not been disappointed yet, the quality and consistency of the Marana oven cannot be rivalled. Not only is the product top quality, the service and customer care are next to none. Corrado and the team are always responsive and willing to support our team with any questions or queries we have.

I cannot recommend Corrado and the team at Marana Forni more highly, words do not do justice to the service and quality pizza ovens that they have provided to our restaurants and continue to provide.

I am thrilled to write a testimonial for Marana Forni Australia! I’ve been a loyal customer for years, and I can confidently say that their products and services are top-notch.

The Marana Forni ovens are simply the best in the market. They produce perfect, authentic pizza every time, thanks to their innovative design and construction. I have never experienced such consistent results with any other oven before.

In addition to their exceptional products, the after-sales service provided by Marana Forni Australia is second to none. Their team of experts is always on hand to offer advice and support, ensuring that any issues are resolved quickly and efficiently.

I would also like to take this opportunity to praise the team members at Marana Forni Australia. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction.

Overall, my experience with Marana Forni Australia has been outstanding, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality pizza ovens and exceptional customer service. Thank you for the opportunity to share my feedback and testimonial.

We always dreamed to open our own Pizzeria and we always dreamed to have a Marana.

When we were finally ready we contacted Corrado and it was so pleasant to discover all the characteristic of this amazing oven described with such a passion.

We immediately felt in good hands. We opted for a Marana Su e Giù 110 and we couldn’t choose better. The oven works with both gas and wood and you can choose to use them together or separately, depends on what the cooking requires.

Pizza, meat, fish, vegetables, you can really use it for anything you need to cook. Your fantasy is the limit.

We have now been open for 6 years and the beautiful Marana never let us down. And the sugar on the cake is that the team at Marana is so lovely and always look after you!

Book our yearly service to keep our oven in perfect condition and what to say: grazie mille!

I will not hesitate to buy another Marana oven again. Many thanks for everything over the years, I will keep on promoting Marana!
