We build ovens.
You make memories.
From a garage in Slovenia to kitchens and backyards across the globe — the Glowen story is really a story about pizza, obsession, and the stubborn belief that everyone deserves a perfect crust.

2018
It started with a welding helmet and a bad pizza.
Grega Ivančič wasn't chasing a business plan. He was chasing a perfect Neapolitan — the kind where the crust bubbles and chars in 60 seconds, the kind you only get in a real wood-fired oven. He couldn't find one he liked. So he built one. In his garage. In Ormož.
FIRST PROOF OF CONCEPT
That first oven went into Grega's food truck, Pizza Fabrika - which quickly became one of Slovenia's most-loved pizza trucks. The oven was the product. People didn't just ask where the pizza was from — they asked where the oven was from.
HOW WE GOT HERE
The garage prototype
Grega builds the first oven by hand in Ormož. No investors, no product roadmap — just a welding helmet, a vision, and a very specific craving for Neapolitan pizza.
Pizza Fabrika hits the road
The oven goes into Grega's food truck. Slovenians taste the difference immediately. The oven gets more attention than the pizza — which is how you know you've built something special.
First production line, four people

Europe opens up
Glowen ovens start shipping across the EU and beyond. The Raptor and Dragon each find their audience — from home cooks to catering pros. The mission stays the same: give everyone access to real fire, real heat, real pizza.
Dreaming BIG!
We're back in the workshop every week, testing new builds, pushing for faster heat-up times, better insulation, smarter design. Because 'good enough' was never the goal.
WHAT WE MAKE
Dragon
Fast, consistent, and built for backyards. Gas-powered simplicity without sacrificing the heat that makes a real crust possible.
Raptor
Two pizzas at a time. Wood-fired tradition or gas convenience — you choose. The hybrid that serious home cooks reach for first.
Diablo
Powerful, high-capacity, and built for serious pizza making. A wood-fired oven that delivers pizzeria-level heat, cooks multiple pizzas at once, and is designed for enthusiasts, events, and high-volume outdoor cooking.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Developed where it matters
Every oven is engineered in Ormož, Slovenia. That's not a marketing line — it's where the quality lives. Local craft, real materials, people who care what their name is on.
No compromises on heat
480 °C minimum is non-negotiable. You can't make a Neapolitan pizza at 300 °C. We design every oven to reach and hold the temperature that real pizza demands.
Built to outlast the trend
Pizza ovens became fashionable. We were here before that. We'll be here after. We build for the people who cook every weekend, not for the ones who want a photo for Instagram.
The table is the point
We're not selling appliances. We're selling the moment when you pull a perfect pizza out of the fire and everyone at the table goes quiet for a second. That's what this is about.
