Wood-fired ovens are the choice for purists, offering that iconic smokey aroma and the traditional ritual of managing a real fire. Gas-powered ovens provide ultimate convenience, heating up quickly and allowing for precise temperature control via a dial. For the best of both worlds, many of our models are multi-fuel, allowing you to switch between the two depending on how much time you have.
Once your oven has reached its optimum temperature (usually between 400°C and 500°C), a thin-crust Neapolitan-style pizza will typically cook in just 60 to 90 seconds. Because they cook so quickly, you’ll need to rotate the pizza every 20 seconds or so using a peel to ensure an even bake and a perfectly charred crust.
Yes, safety is paramount. Pizza ovens get incredibly hot, so they must be placed on a sturdy, non-combustible surface such as a dedicated metal pizza oven station, a stone worktop, or paving slabs. We strongly advise against placing them directly on wooden tables or plastic surfaces without a heat-resistant barrier or a purpose-built stand.
For the best flavour and most consistent heat, always use kiln-dried hardwoods like oak, ash, or beech. These burn hotter and cleaner than softwoods. Avoid using treated timber, resinous woods like pine, or any wood with paint or varnish, as these can produce unpleasant smoke and harmful chemicals that will affect the taste of your food
Absolutely! While they are named for pizza, these ovens are incredibly versatile. You can use them to sear steaks at high heat, roast Mediterranean vegetables, bake flatbreads, or even cook succulent fish. Any dish that benefits from high-temperature roasting or a touch of wood-fired flavour will work beautifully in an outdoor oven.
You should never use soap or water on a pizza stone, as it is porous and can crack when reheated. The easiest way to clean it is to "burn off" any spilled toppings by leaving the oven at its highest temperature for a few minutes. Once the stone has completely cooled, simply use a dedicated pizza stone brush or a scraper to remove any remaining charred debris.
