Pizza Nevo 12' Gas Fired Pizza Oven, Black

Product Information

Storage: consider the space you have available. The smallest pizza ovens we've tested are the BBQ-top models, which thanks to their small, boxy size, can easily be stored in a garage, shed or even inside somewhere. A number of the models on this list have easy foldaway legs, meaning they too will take up very little room when not in use. Some of the larger models we've tested will need to be kept outside in all weathers, in this case, a cover is an absolute must. The obvious downside of the Sage Smart Oven Pizzaiolo is the high price, but when you consider that it plugs right in, comes with a pizza peel, and doesn't need a thermometer to tell if it's hot enough to cook your pizza perfectly, it's an unmissable option. If you want the best pizza oven to take the stress out of judging the heat and timing of your cooking, this five-star option is the one for you. That’s where we step in to help, with the lowdown on all of the most popular pizza oven models that we've actually tried– whether you’re looking for the authenticity of a wood-fired pizza oven, the ease and convenience of a gas-fired pizza oven, or the best of both worlds in a multi-fuel option. Other considerations include heat-up speed, cooking times and important extras, like in-built temperature gauges and included pizza peels. The temperature of your oven will peak somewhere between 400 and 500 degrees C, and the better your oven maintains its temperature, the more pizzas you can produce from one ‘firing’.

A temperature gauge is handy, as you’ll always know when you’re ready to cook. A few ovens come with a pizza paddle designed to fit the cavity perfectly, though this is the exception rather than the rule.Some newer models of gas oven pizzas have a ‘gas assist’ mode, which retains all the appeal and amazing flavour of a pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven, but with the convenience of gas heating. This way, you don’t have to stand by your pizza oven tending to the wood fire if you don’t want to – you can get started with the cooking straight away.

When getting the flames going, heating the oven to temperature and cooking pizzas, we note any design elements or features that impact our cooking experience. Time to reach cooking temperature They're often able to cook up a range of different pizza types and require very little tending unlike those that cook with an open flame.

Outdoor pizza ovens are usually made with a stainless steel exterior and stone interior. However, this will vary depending on the heating source. Since most follow this similar pattern, consider size, texture, and shape. 6. Pricing It adds plenty of extra flavour and can help to bring a slow-burning stability to the heat the oven, but charcoal burns so slowly that you can’t easily top up the fire with more of it when the heat dies down, so it shouldn't be used on its own. The Koda is a star buy for those who want to create authentic pizzas without the faff of keeping a fire going, as you would need to in the Fyra. If you love the ease of gas BBQs, the convenience of the Ooni Koda will probably be right up your street. Accessories: take a look at which accessories your chosen pizza oven comes with. In our eyes, a pizza peel is an essential, but some brands don't provide these as standard, and this will be an additional cost.

The Pizza Nova story began in 1963 in Toronto, Ontario, when a young Italian family opened the very first Pizza Nova restaurant. Still family-owned, Pizza Nova today represents over 140 locations where we pride ourselves on the simple fact that we deliver quality. The largest of Ooni's multi-fuel pizza ovens, the Ooni Karu 16 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven is an investment, but as long as your budget will stretch, we think it's worth it. Heat-proof gloves Getting up close and personal with an oven that can burn at 500°C comes with its risks. Wearing heat-proof gloves will help keep you safe while adding fuel, and if necessary, when launching and rotating pizzas. Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 minute in a pizza oven). These are made to sit on top of a gas or charcoal barbecue, and are usually made up of a simple metal box with a pizza stone inside. They heat up from below using the barbecue grill.

Pizza peel:A peel is a paddle used to slide a pie onto the hot stone in the oven. We recommend this standard pizza peelor this conveyor pizza peel. First, you should compare the dimensions of the oven you're interested in with the size of your barbecue – you won't get far if your grill isn't big enough for the oven to sit snugly.

I’ll go more into depth on each heat source in the next section. 2. Portability Pizza stone:High temperatures make the crust crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.
