For Kansas City’s New Il Lazzarone, a 6,000-Pound Christmas Delivery
Erik Borger had to do some pretty precise measuring to make sure he could get his brand-new Acunto Mario Forni pizza oven through the front doors of his new restaurant. After all, the oven weighs an astonishing 6,000 pounds – making its placement within Kansas City’s historic River Market neighborhood no easy feat.
Borger has been through this before, when he had his first Acunto wood-fired pizza oven delivered to the original Il Lazzarone in St. Joseph, Missouri. But the oven for this second location, scheduled to open at 412 Delaware in March 2015, is twice as big as the one in St. Joe.
