Orchard Ovens, based in Lancashire, is owned by the Anglo-Italian Manciocchi Family. The business was founded by Andrew Manciocchi in 2002 when he introduced authentic wood-fired ovens to the UK residential market. Andrew's passion to make the perfect pizza at home drove him to search for a wood-fired oven of his own. Hampered by the early death of his father and onset dementia with his nonna, he was forced to make his own Italian connections.
