Haven Outdoor Wood Fired Pizza Oven with Ceramic Pizza Stone, Built-in Thermometer, Pizza Paddle & Rain Cover

Product Information

But, we were very happy with both pizzas; the crust was well sealed, with evenly cooked, melty toppings. Wood-fired models do require some practice though as they can be a little more difficult to handle when it comes to controlling the temperature. Made from thick mild steel with bamboo and steel carry handles, it's also medium weight coming in at 18kg. This guide is regularly updated with new models that have been tried and tested by BBC Good Food reviews experts. One of our biggest bugbears with the Ooni pizza ovens is that this essential tool must be purchased separately.

The highlight was the super quick cooking time (pizzas ready in under one minute) and Italian pizzeria-worthy results.Once the fire is going, you’ll need to wait just over half an hour before you can start cooking, but the pizza quality is consistently delicious, with beautifully smoky, flavourful dough, bubbles of cheese and well-cooked toppings. We have traditional clay, Stainless Steel and Brick along with a selection of DIY self build Pizza Oven kits.

Ooni and Gozney are two of the most familiar names, with wide ranges of portable, gas and wood-fired pizza ovens to choose from, but they're not alone. So how do you decide how much cash to splash, and how do you choose between all of those different fuel types? But having a dedicated outdoor pizza oven means you can recreate the pizzeria-style crust that’s so hard to achieve otherwise. Producing a pizza oven was obviously a natural progression for this Danish manufacturer, which established its reputation making high-end bio fireplaces and has drawn on this expertise to come up with the gas-powered turtle.

On the 'wood-fired' method, we were seriously impressed with the results of our pizza – cooked at 400C, the pizza was ready in just two minutes and had a crisp leopard-spotted crust and perfectly melted cheese. A pizza oven can be a great addition to any home, especially for those who love to cook and entertain. Under five minutes from unboxing, we were all set up, with the oven on its way to perfect pizza-making temperature which, because of its internal dimensions took only 20 minutes.

If you can't make up your mind or you like the sound of what both fuel-types offer, then opt for a multi-fuel model.You can put it on top of barbeques and gas grills and it will be perfect for making not only pizzas but bread and other delicious dishes. As with the original Dome model, the S1 is a big investment (with or without the five-year warranty), but if your budget allows for it, what this pizza oven is capable of is truly impressive.
