What to look for before buying a pizza oven

With so many pizza oven options you might be asking yourself how on earth you’re going to find the best pizza oven for you. Before you discover our tried-and-tested picks of the best pizza ovens we’ll explain why we’ve selected these ovens and what you should look out for before you buy.

  1. Large pizza stone/cooking surface - Before you go out and buy a pizza oven for your garden you should consider how many people you might regularly be cooking for. If you're going to host large pizza parties or may use your pizza oven commercially then you may wish to scale up the size of the outdoor oven. Large pizza ovens allow you to cook two or more pizzas at any one time, this means you’re able to quickly cook pizzas over a shorter time and keep everyone well fed.
  2. Which pizza oven fuel type is best - The type of fuel suitable for your pizza oven can impact the taste of the dough or other culinary delights you decide to cook. If you prefer the flavour of wood-fired pizzas, opt for a pizza oven that runs off pellets, firewood or charcoal. Gas & electric-powered pizza ovens have their benefits too without compromising too much on the flavour, they offer convenience as they’re easy to start up and control the temperature plus, there is far less mess created as they don’t produce and ash or sooty emissions.
  3. Benefit from a pizza oven with a door - Not all pizza ovens come with a door included but it can be a fantastic benefit if they do. A pizza oven door will help to trap the heat inside your oven making your pizza crust extra crisp! It also improves the fuel efficiency of your oven and helps your pizza stone retain that much-needed heat for making the perfect pizza base. Some ovens benefit from a glass door allowing you to keep a close eye on your pizza without having to open the door to check on the progress.
  4. How to gauge the temperature - Making sure your pizza oven has reached the right temperature and the stone is fully saturated with the heat is made easy with a built-in thermometer. Placing a pizza inside an oven that isn’t hot enough is a recipe for disaster. Your wood-fired pizza oven temperature has a hotter range than a conventional oven, you should look to achieve temperatures of at least 450 degrees Fahrenheit before starting your cook.
  5. Should I look for a portable pizza oven? - If you're looking for an eye-catching masonry pizza oven that is fixed in place then a Gozney or Fuego oven are great choices. Larger pizza ovens offer more capacity and can transform a garden space into something all your neighbours will desire. If you want something a little more lightweight that can be taken with you on camping trips or visits to the beach then a more portable pizza oven from Ooni or Cozze pizza oven might be better for you.
  6. How much should I pay for a pizza oven? - The cost of a portable or masonry pizza oven can vary considerably; you can easily spend over £1000 for a large fixed in place outdoor oven. If you don't have this budget, there are plenty of portable cash-friendly options with prices that start at around £250. These cheaper pizza oven options are fantastic and easy to use alternatives to the heavy duty models, you won’t need a large garden or patio space to host a pizza party either.
