Let’s break it down.
🔥 Heat-Up Time & Cooking Power
-
Igneus Pro 600: Reaches 500°C in just 15–20 minutes. Cooks a Neapolitan-style pizza in 60–90 seconds. Ideal for rapid, repeated cooking — perfect for hosting or light commercial use.
-
Clementi Pulcinella 60x60: Heats up in 20–25 minutes. Also hits 500°C, with its Air Plus system ensuring a consistent cook and balanced heat distribution across the chamber.
Verdict: Both cook fast, but Pro 600 edges ahead for speed and commercial readiness.
Build Quality & Materials
-
Igneus Pro 600: Handmade in Portugal, powder-coated aluminium body, stainless steel cooking chamber, ceramic insulation. Strong, sleek, and built for high-volume use.
-
Clementi Pulcinella: 100% stainless steel, designed and built in Italy. More traditional styling. Insulated with rock wool and fire bricks for top heat retention.
Verdict: Clementi wins on traditional build and insulation, while Igneus offers a modern, pro-ready shell.
Size & Cooking Capacity
