Pizza ovens are often billed as portable, so we weigh them and carry them a short distance, taking bulkiness and comfort into account. There aren't many electric pizza ovens around that are for use at home, but the Ooni Volt 12 and Sage Pizzaiolo are examples that might be a good fit for those who are keen to cook artisan-style pizza without the need for outdoor space.

What's better than fluffy dollops of goat cheese on a pizza? (Not much.) This one features our top rated tomato pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and generous dollops of goat cheese.

It’s easy to use as you can take the pizza stone out to clean the oven, making it a versatile and easy-to-maintain range. Pizza cutter A good pizza cutter is key for slicing up and serving your pizza. The larger the circular blade, the better. This prevents the pizza cutter from moving your toppings around and makes it easier to cut through extra-puffy pizza crusts. We use an infrared thermometer to record the surface temperature of the pizza stone in the oven and time how long it takes to reach 400°C. Some pizza ovens take less than 15 minutes, while others fail to reach 400°C altogether. Pizza 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. Finally, one final thing that has helped people decide over what style of pizza oven to buy comes down to the temperature at which the oven cooks and its ability to be able to sustain that level of heat throughout the cooking period.

Ratings and reviews

Do you want a wood, gas, electric, or charcoal oven? The heat source you go with will definitely affect the taste of your meal. Personally, I love wood-fired ovens because they offer the best flavour; however, some prefer gas ovens since they’re easier to use and clean. I’ll go more into depth on each heat source in the next section. 2. Portability

There’s something calming about having a white scheme. It’s a blank canvas you can add to and change up whether it’s with cushions, plants and flowers' 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).

The best pizza oven for your outdoor kitchen isn’t the most expensive, the prettiest one, or the one with the most features. It all comes down to the individual and what they want.
