Pizza Oven

[Chasin' Dreams]

Trying to research pizza ovens.

If y'all have any advice or experience with owning one and can recommend a good brand/make it would be much appreciated.

Gozney all the way. My friends have the propane smaller version. Incredible. I really want to get one.

Friends have an ooni and love it.

Ooni?! More like, Booni! Amiright?

Don’t get a wood fired one. I have an 12” ooni and it is really hard to control the heat. I got a gas insert for it and it is better but overall I think the oven is too small. The back is much hotter than the front making it hard to get an even cook even when rotating.

I would look for a larger oven that is gas powered and gives more consistent heat. I would also make sure it has a relatively thick stone that will retain heat. Cooking multiple pizzas can be a pain if the stone looses too much heat.

Just takes some practice wood all the way!

I use a stone and the oven at 500. Works great.... but then again nothing wrong with a new toy.

That is a good looking pizza. I have yet to achieve that level of success.

100% agree. Love the wood oven. My buddy built one at the cabin. We hammered out like 60 pizzas in an hour for their wedding.

Maybe I should be more clear. I have struggled with the small wood pellet oven (Onni Frya 12). The pellets tend to be difficult to control the heat. I think a larger traditional wood fired oven would be awesome. I have considered building one in my back yard.

Great info from you guys thank you. Gives me some food for thought. I don't have natural gas and my living room/kitchen is on the second floor and I wanna make pizzas through winter so I'll be making them on my back deck not the yard so propane will be best for me. Want to be able to do big pizzas too. Now just gotta decide on brand. Have been watching some YouTube reviews too.

Will look for thicker stone ovens. I like the idea of the stone spinning while cooking. Should give a nice even cook.

I've been using a stone at 500F in my oven myself to make pizzas so far and they turn out nice but take a lot longer than the pizza ovens and not quite as good a quality I think.of some of the pizza ovens.

This was last night's pizzas in regular oven on a stone at 500f.

Wild chanterelle mushrooms, pepperoni, ham, maple bacon, green and red pepper, red onion, mozzarella cheese and we basted the crust with honey/butter/olive oil/garlic/Sriracha

I do mine in my Primo ceramic charcoal grill. I actually bought the grill after designing and pricing out materials on a wood burning one myself. Turned out this was going to be around the same price and was more versatile. I use a double stacked stone and get heat up to 800⁰. They turn out pretty damn good. That being said, they don't hold a candle to my friends Gozney. The thing is a machine and gets hot fast. Retains heat really well. It's next level. I will purchase one someday.

There used to be a vancouver island pizza stone manufacturer for use in your BBQ and Oven, did they go out of business? I can't find them online.

My son asked for a pizza stone for Christmas. Found for $70 at Chef's Edge. I use 16" square ceramic tiles from Re-Store. If you drop a piece of cold wet fish on a hot one on the Barby they can crack. $2 bucks. Pizza works pretty good but I'm still trying to get to the Naples level crust.
