Pizza Ovens

Pizza Oven Types

Wood-Fired Pizza Ovens

Traditional pizza ovens are fuelled by seasoned hardwood logs or lump charcoal. Reach temperatures of 400-500°C for authentic Neapolitan-style pizza with crispy bases and charred spots. Wood-fired ovens provide smoky flavour and the traditional pizza-making experience. Require 30-45 minutes to heat up and skill to maintain temperature. Perfect for pizza enthusiasts who want authentic results and enjoy the ritual of fire management.

Gas Pizza Ovens

Convenient pizza ovens powered by propane gas. Offer instant ignition, precise temperature control, and consistent heat (350-450°C). Heat up in 15-20 minutes and maintain steady temperatures easily. Ideal for regular use and those who want convenience without sacrificing quality. No smoke or ash to manage. Perfect for busy families and frequent outdoor entertaining.

Portable Pizza Ovens

Lightweight, moveable pizza ovens suitable for small gardens, patios, or even camping. Available in wood-fired and gas models. Compact design doesn't compromise on temperature - still reach 400°C+ for authentic results. Easy to store when not in use. Perfect for renters, small spaces, or those who want flexibility in placement.

How to Use a Pizza Oven

Heating Your Pizza Oven

Wood-Fired: Build a small fire in the centre using kindling and small logs. Once established, add larger logs and allow 30-45 minutes to reach 400°C+. Push coals to the back or sides once at temperature.

Gas: Turn on gas, ignite burner, and preheat for 15-20 minutes until reaching 350-400°C. Adjust burner to maintain desired temperature.

Cooking Pizza

Dust pizza peel with flour or semolina to prevent sticking. Launch pizza onto hot cooking surface using a quick jerking motion. Cook for 60-90 seconds, rotating halfway through for even cooking. Watch carefully - pizzas cook very fast at high temperatures. Remove when base is crispy and cheese is bubbling with charred spots.

Optional accessories include pizza stones for BBQs, dough scrapers, proofing boxes, oven brushes, and covers for weather protection. Quality accessories make pizza making easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

What Else Can You Cook?

Pizza ovens are incredibly versatile outdoor cooking tools. Cook flatbreads, naan, focaccia, roasted vegetables, whole fish, steaks, lamb joints, artisan bread, and desserts. The high heat is perfect for searing and roasting. Use cast iron pans or Dutch ovens inside for stews and casseroles. The retained heat after pizza cooking is ideal for slow-roasted dishes. Transform your outdoor cooking beyond just pizza.
