🎯 How to Choose the Right Pizza Oven

🔥 How to Choose the Right Pizza Oven

Wood-fired, gas-powered, or both? Portable or built-in? Here's how to find your perfect match.

So, you're ready to bring real flame into your cooking life — but which pizza oven is actually right for you?

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with options, features, and price points. But don’t worry — we’ve broken it down into the only 5 things that really matter when choosing your pizza oven.

1. 🍕 Fuel Type: Wood vs Gas vs Dual-Fired

Wood-fired gives you that authentic flavour, crispy leopard-spotted crust, and the primal joy of managing a real flame.
Gas is quick, clean, and convenient — ideal for weeknight pizza or urban settings.
Dual-fuel? The best of both worlds.

✅ Choose wood if you're into the full craft. Choose gas if convenience rules. Go dual-fuel if you want options.

2. 🏡 Size & Capacity

Are you cooking for two or feeding the whole neighbourhood?

Small ovens (1 pizza at a time) are great for couples, balconies, or travel setups.
Medium ovens handle 2 pizzas at once — our most popular size.
Large ovens (3+) are perfect for entertaining, family gatherings, or if you want to cook other dishes too.

✅ Plan for how many people you’ll typically cook for — then size up just a little.

3. 🚚 Portability vs Permanence

Portable ovens are lightweight, often gas-fueled or small wood-fired units. Perfect if you want to move it in/out or take it on the go.
Permanent setups are heavier, built-in, and made for garden kitchens or outdoor cooking zones.

✅ If you’re short on space or move often, go portable. If this is your forever backyard upgrade, go big.

4. 🧱 Materials & Build Quality

Look for:

Insulated walls (for heat retention)
Solid stone or cordierite baking surface
Weather resistance
Trusted brands with solid warranties

✅ A pizza oven isn’t something you want to replace in 2 years — quality matters.

5. 🎯 Your Cooking Goals

Be real with yourself:

Are you just making pizza on the weekends?
Planning to cook meats, breads, or entertain often?
Want something Instagram-worthy that turns heads?

✅ Match your oven to your lifestyle. The right oven will feel like a natural extension of how you like to cook.
