Choosing a pizza oven comes down to four questions: How hot does it get? What fuel does it use? Can I use it indoors? And what size pizza do I want to make? Here's how the major options stack up.
Outdoor ovens run on gas or wood and reach 900–950°F — the real Neapolitan standard. They produce authentic charred, blistered crusts that are impossible in a home oven. The downside: weather dependency and propane logistics. Gas-powered models like the Ooni Koda 16 and Gozney Roccbox are the easiest to use. Multi-fuel models add wood-fired flavor but require more attention.
Indoor electric ovens (Breville Pizzaiolo, Ooni Volt 12) let you make great pizza year-round regardless of weather. They top out at 750–850°F — slightly lower than outdoor models but still far above a regular oven's 500°F. If you live in an apartment or have no outdoor space, these are your only real option for high-heat pizza at home.
Every pizza oven expert recommends three accessories: an infrared thermometer (to measure stone temperature, not just air temperature), a pizza peel (to launch and retrieve the pizza), and a baking steel or extra stone for NY-style pies at lower temperatures. Budget $60–120 for a solid accessory kit alongside your oven.
