be a maker

"We first discovered the Städler Made oven while watching Rick Stein’s Food Stories on the BBC, and after looking it up online, we were thrilled to find out it's made right here in the Netherlands, not far from where we live! We ordered one, and ever since, every Friday night has become pizza night—what an absolute delight."

I cook plant-based and love surprising people with how delicious it can be. I mostly use the Städler oven when friends and family come to stay over. My favorite? Nutella pizza for dessert! As a builder of masonry heaters, I know how special it is when fire plays a central role in daily life. And in the oven, it even adds extra flavor!

My Städler Made Outdoor Oven is placed right next to our vegetable garden, and I love this connection. It means I can pick the stuff I grow in the garden, and add them directly to the pizza: tomatoes, rucola, herbs like basil, rosemary and oregano, and even edible flowers, all end up on our pizzas. The best thing for me is to share this with friends and family and surprise them with the endless possibilities of vegetables which change with every season.

"Being a maker and a cook means the world to me, and I’ve never been happier. I love cooking for my housemates and family; they are the people I yearn to feed and nourish with my meals, always and forever. My favorite dish to make in the oven has to be pizza, though I’d include flatbreads—really, any kind of dough with a great topping. There’s something about wood-fired cooking that captivates me. The flavor is unbeatable, of course, but I also love the tangible nature of building a fire and then using it to make delicious food. It feels very self-sufficient and like a skill we should all have and work on."

"Cooking for family and friends has always been a passion of mine, and the Städler Made oven has elevated that experience to a whole new level. There's something captivating about the open flame—the warmth, the crackle—that draws everyone in and creates an inviting atmosphere. Whether I'm making wood-fired pizzas, roasting fresh vegetables, or grilling steaks from a local farm, the results are always exceptional. But it's not just about the food; it's about creating unforgettable moments that bring people together.”

“I’m a chef of 34 years, and have worked in the kitchen service for about 17 years, working in Michelin star and high rush restaurants. I love to inspire people as a creator and a chef. Mixing & being creative with food is a fun way of living! I’ve had my Städler oven for a year now, it’s awesome to have in your outdoor kitchen. I love to cook homemade pizza for my family in it, but also pies and other high temperature recipes.”

“Cooking on wood in the great outdoors is one of life’s great pleasures - Chopping the wood, tending the fire, prepping the ingredients, the heavy aroma of smoke as you warm your hands by the fire. And then, when the time is right, the crunch of the base and the depth of flavor imbued by the fire. Like anything made by hand, the reward is in the process - but any process that ends in pizza is perfection."

"I love cooking for my family and my partner & love sharing my recipes to show that vegan pizza can be incredible. For me, pizza is all about sharing: sharing a pizza, recipes, know-how, and passion. I enjoy using Städler Made content for my cooking— The dough calculator is amazing, especially since I often make pizza dough for one person. It simplifies the proportions and lets me adjust hydration levels to suit my preferences."
