This Italian-themed patio is complete with the requisite pizza oven and is accompanied by a cozy fireplace. This patio is a good example of what we call ‘Scope Creep’, in that the idea grew out of an adjacent award-winning garage project. The oven itself is imported from Italy and the stonework replicates those ubiquitous walls found in the Italian vineyards throughout the Tuscany area. The patio brings a welcoming focal point to the residence and has become a gathering place for guests and neighbors whenever the wood-burning pizza oven is fired up! A rustic fireplace is a perfect focal point for the patio on cool evenings for friends and family to sit and enjoy each other’s company, especially after a traditional multi-course authentic Italian meal.
