Always Evolving. Always With Flame.

From first spark to latest flame — our journey of innovation, one oven at a time.

At Glowen, we never stop at “good enough.” Every model, upgrade and add-on tells a story of our commitment to better heat, faster bakes, smarter design and true pizza magic. On this page you’ll trace our evolution — from the earliest gas-powered ovens to today’s multi-fuel, auto-rotating, Rolling Flame™ machines — and see how each step brings our mission closer: to give you the only pizza oven you’ll ever need.

Relentlessly refining. Continuously creating. Forever Glowen.

The Glowen Evolution

March, 2021

Glowen Raptor

Raptor 1 entered its first year of sales, marking the beginning of Glowen’s commitment to high-performance outdoor ovens. It launched with the original Rolling Flame stone plate measuring 39 × 38 cm, delivering even heat and fast bakes. This first model set the foundation for everything that followed.

Glowen Raptor Upgrades

The Raptor 1 received several structural improvements, including a redesigned one-piece cooking stone for better heat retention. A shortened chimney and upgraded rear insulation increased efficiency and reduced heat loss. These refinements pushed the first-generation Raptor to a noticeably more stable and consistent performance.

Dragon — First Series

The first series of Dragon ovens rolled out with a focus on strength and durability. Its robust construction made it ideal for demanding outdoor conditions. This model established Dragon as the heavy-duty workhorse of the Glowen lineup.

Glowen Raptor 2

Raptor 2 stepped forward with a fresh powder-coated finish, giving the oven better surface protection and a cleaner, modern look. New packaging improved shipping experience and product safety. It marked the start of the second-generation Raptor identity.
