Cuisinart CPZ120E: accepting a slower heat-up
The CPZ120E makes indoor pizza more approachable with a window and useful accessories. It takes time, makes noise and offers fairly coarse temperature control.
Read the guideChoosing an oven
Choose a pizza oven by use, not by league table.
Four constraints remove more poor fits than a general ranking: where the oven can operate, how much attention the fuel demands, how fast pizzas must follow one another and what the complete setup costs.
Local housing, connection and manufacturer safety rules take priority over any fuel preference.
1. Location
Indoor, balcony, terrace and garden use do not allow the same equipment. Check ventilation, electricity, gas rules and storage first.
2. Energy
Gas simplifies repeatable outdoor baking, electric models suit compatible indoor use, and multi-fuel ovens trade convenience for fire management.
3. Pace and format
Chamber size, opening and stone recovery matter more when serving several people than when baking one pizza.
4. Complete budget
Count the stand, cover, peel, regulator or cable, fuel and storage—not only the oven’s ticket price.

The Delizia G10006 is compact and simple, but its heat fluctuations, split peels and variable offers need checking before purchase.

Ooni Karu 12: wood, charcoal, gas and dimensions
The Karu 12 remains appealing if you want to learn how to manage a real fire in a small oven. Its hidden cost is the time spent on fuel and cleaning.

Ooni Karu 2: wood, charcoal or gas
The Karu 2 is the small multi-fuel oven we would choose to learn fire management. Its published heating times differ too much to become a promise.

Ooni Karu 2 Pro: 40 cm, wood or gas
The Karu 2 Pro is a large 28.4 kg multi-fuel oven. We would reserve it for a fixed position and someone who genuinely wants to cook with fire.

Ooni Koda 12: dimensions, weight and limitations
The Koda 12 keeps to the essentials: gas, 30 cm and 9.2 kg. We find it coherent for a first oven if its small format is a deliberate constraint.

Ooni Koda 16: 40 cm format and heating
The Koda 16 provides real working room without becoming enormous. We find it relevant for large pizzas, less so if it will be moved often.

Ooni Koda 2: dimensions and heating
The Koda 2 is the Ooni gas format we find easiest to recommend to a household. It remains fairly compact, but its heating figures vary too much to promise a time.

Ooni Koda 2 Pro: 45 cm and a U-shaped burner
The Koda 2 Pro offers plenty of room and a flame on three sides. We would reserve it for a fixed position and genuinely large pizzas.

Ooni Volt 2: an indoor electric oven
The Volt 2 is the indoor oven in the current range. Its controls are documented, but not its uniformity, reliability or running cost.

Witt ETNA Rotante: is rotation worth the footprint?
The ETNA Rotante can justify itself for large pizzas at a fixed outdoor station. Rotation helps, but its weight, flame control and a compliant gas connection remain decisive.

Gozney Arc: the right size before the Arc XL?
For 30 to 32 cm pizzas, the Arc already leaves a good margin. The Arc XL is mainly worth the extra €200 if you will genuinely use its additional space.

Gozney Arc Lite or Tread: where does the extra €100 go?
Keep the €100 and choose the Arc Lite if the oven stays on a table. The Tread makes sense if you transport it often or want pizzas closer together.

Gozney Arc XL: 40 cm and 26.5 kg
The Arc XL offers genuine working room for 30 to 35 cm pizzas. Its 40 cm format becomes trickier near the flame, and its 26.5 kg demand a fixed position.

Gozney Dome (Gen 2): is the standard size enough?
The Dome (Gen 2) is already a very large oven. It looks more coherent than the XL for one large pizza or two small ones, provided you have a permanent setup.

Gozney Dome XL (Gen 2): 73 kg and three pizzas
The Dome XL (Gen 2) is a 73 kg outdoor kitchen, not an oven to bring out at weekends. Its width makes sense for several cooks or complete meals.

Ooni gas, electric or multi-fuel?
The Volt 2 is intended for indoor use. Outdoors, Koda gives direct gas control, while Karu adds wood or charcoal management and an optional gas burner.

Ooni Koda 2 Max: two pizzas and dual zones
The Koda 2 Max answers a very specific need: baking two pizzas at once. At 43 kg, we would only recommend it if you genuinely intend to use that capacity.

Gozney Roccbox: portable, but nearly 20 kg
The Roccbox can travel, but its nearly 20 kg weight makes it more at home on a terrace. It remains interesting beside the Tread because of its price and optional wood burner.

Which Gozney oven should you choose in 2026?
Arc Lite for price, Tread for travel, Arc for staying at home, Dome for a genuine outdoor kitchen. The right model mostly depends on where it will live.

Which Ooni oven should you choose in 2026?
