Dubbed “the Rolls-Royce of pizza ovens” in our full review, the Gozney Dome earns this title due to its luxurious design and excellent performance. Its cream-coloured, domed exterior is quite simply a pleasure to look at, while the weatherproofed ceramic and stainless body feels sturdy and well put-together, proving to be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. A modern take on the classic, the Neo boasts a fibreglass outer shell that makes it cool to the touch on the outside… even when the inner dome is 400 degrees! From domestic ovens, to full sized mobile Horsebox trailers, and everything in between. This range caters to the beginner home cook, or the commercial full catering chef. Next, you have to secure the hopper which is easily done with some small bolts and an Allen key (all included). The chimney slots into place, so no construction needed here and you only need to install the cap when out of use. Then you need to attach the handle and thermometer to the removable door, and build the pellet box and burner grate. Even a DIY novice can do this all in around 20 minutes by following the instructions that you receive once you've scanned the QR code. With the pizza stone in place, you're ready to go.

A fire dog is a log rest used by connoisseurs of wood fired pizza ovens. A log rest or fire dog is quite popularly used by many Italian wood oven chefs as it allows better air circulation for the burning embers, so that air may circulate under the firewood, allowing better burning and less smoke. Under ideal conditions, we found that the Etna Fermo’s pizza stone could reach its operating temperature of 500ºC in just 18 minutes, although it struggled a little to reach this temperature on cooler days. Even below 500ºC, it was able to cook a classic, thin-crust homemade pizza to perfection in just 60 seconds. What’s more, we found it matched the authentic flavour of wood-powered ovens.Made here in the UK by our specialist steel fabricator, using the highest quality materials, the Strada range boasts the ultimate collection. I am quite short, but manage to carry it short distances fairly easily. It weighs 13 kilograms which is not too heavy, but because of the size I can't see myself carrying it anywhere other than to and from the car. Which really should be all you need. We’re really happy with our Linea Vz wood fired oven. We roast all our own meats and toppings during the day and in the afternoons and evenings we have an eat in and takeaway service. If your oven has become damp inside for any reason, dry it completely before attempting the lighting procedure. This will lead to a much faster heating time. The rest of the oven can be cleaned with a damp cloth as needed and any soot and smoke wiped away with dry kitchen roll. Note that the stainless steel parts of the oven do change colour after use – a reaction with the heat that creates an interesting patina that I think adds to the industrial look of the pizza oven. Is the Woody Pizza Oven worth the money?

The Ooni Karu is one of the more portable pizza ovens on this list, too. The fibre-insulated ceramic body weighs only 12kg, the smoking chimney can be removed and each of the four legs can be folded away for easy carrying.Can use most combustable fuels including pellet, kindling, coal and gas (gas attachment sold separately) It’s also surprisingly portable for such a luxury model. As it’s gas-powered, there’s no bulky chimney or ash to clear away after use. Perhaps its most important feature, though, is the incredible capacity. Despite not taking up much more space than smaller Ooni models, this oven can handle 16in pizzas with ease. And with the cordierite pizza stone helping you to produce a perfectly crisp base, you’ll be a pizza pro in no time.

As the wood burns, you’re accumulating a coal bed on the oven floor. These hot coals drive heat into the floor at the very same time it’s heating the overhead dome. With gas ovens, heat is being limited to the flame only. Therefore, heating time takes much longer when using a traditional electric or gas-powered oven. 3. Wide Variety of Styles

Our ‘Little Italy’. Our oven gets lots of use all year-round and has been enjoyed by family and friends on many occasions. We occasionally cook meats with the oven as well as a whole roast dinner! It’s so versatile and a joy to use.The overwhelming majority of pizza ovens are wood-fired because pizzas cook optimally in short, fierce blasts of heat. Cooking time usually takes between 30 seconds and five minutes, and the finished result is simply unachievable in a gas or domestic oven. Another factor is the internal and external temperature. For example, if it’s below 0℃, it will take longer for a pizza oven to heat up. Although, I have yet to meet anyone motivated enough to use their outdoor oven in the middle of winter!
