Our story

Born from passion & fire

The beginning

A lifelong love of food, fire, and bringing people together

Al Forno wasn't built in a boardroom β€” it was built around a flame. Chef Uttam Khangura fell in love with cooking long before he had the words for it. By 18, that love had already earned him a sous chef role, and his first encounter with a wood-fired forno oven changed the course of everything. What followed was years of chasing that feeling β€” training in Vancouver, studying hospitality in Switzerland, and refining his craft at the two-Michelin-starred Dinner by Heston Blumenthal in London. Five years across Europe. Countless kitchens. One obsession: the perfect pizza.

What we do

Michelin-trained craft, brought directly to your table

Al Forno brings everything together β€” classical technique, international influence, and the ancient tradition of wood-fired cooking. We don't drop off food and leave. We arrive, we fire the ovens, and we craft every pizza live at your event. From intimate dinners to grand weddings, the standard never changes: quality ingredients, time-honoured technique, and a live experience that becomes the highlight of the evening.
