Pizza Ovens & Accessories
Having a patio space or outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven is a growing trend. Pizza ovens outdoors have gained popularity thanks to their quick cooking times, cooking versatility, and ease of use. A home pizza oven also allows you to put a twist on classic BBQ by treating your friends and family to piping-hot pizza made right in your own backyard. There's nothing like having your own pizzeria just steps away, especially if you've got a few homemade pizza recipes up your sleeve!
If you're looking to add an outdoor kitchen pizza oven, we offer the largest selection of built-in pizza ovens, freestanding pizza ovens, and portable pizza ovens. Some of our most popular brands are Lynx, Alfresco, Forno Venetzia, and Ooni.
Below are a few things to consider that we've put together to help you get started on the path to finding the best pizza ovens for you. Be sure to check out our pizza oven buying guide and pizza oven comparison chart for more information on how to choose the right oven.
Wood Burning vs. Gas-Fired Outdoor Pizza Ovens
The two most common pizza oven fuel options are wood and gas. Wood-burning pizza ovens use hardwood or even in a few cases flavored hardwood pellets that deliver a rich, smoky flavor to your food. A wood-fired pizza oven can reach incredibly hot temperatures up to 800 degrees, with radiant heat bringing that pizza dough to a crispy crust to your authentic wood-fired pizza. Some models are even multi-fuel, letting you combine wood and charcoal for unique flavor options!
A gas-fired pizza oven is easy to operate and very convenient. Just turn the burner on, let the oven preheat, and you'll be ready to cook delicious pizza in minutes. Gas pizza ovens are available in propane and natural gas - with propane typically used in portable models. If you plan to install a pizza oven in your outdoor kitchen, a natural gas line can be plumbed to your built-in pizza oven and is an economical, hassle-free fuel source.
Outdoor Pizza Oven Materials & Construction
When shopping for an outdoor kitchen pizza oven, there are a couple of things to consider to ensure your pizza oven will last for many years. All pizza ovens feature some sort of dome-shaped ceiling to help direct and spread the heat evenly across the cooking surface in your oven. It is important that the dome and hearth are fully insulated to allow higher cooking temperatures to be reached and maintained. This heat retention will help cook your pizza faster, which is great when cooking several pies for more guests at your pizza party.
The materials used probably play the most important factor when looking for longevity in the life of an outdoor pizza oven. High-grade 304 stainless steel will hold up best to the outdoor elements, while also withstanding the constant extreme heat inside the pizza oven.
Pizza Oven Size
Outdoor pizza ovens come in all sizes, from small portable ovens that fit on your countertop and cook one pizza at a time, to larger ovens that can cook multiple pizzas at once. When looking for a pizza oven, consider how you plan to use it for outdoor cooking. Will you be cooking for a small family, or will you be baking pizzas for large gatherings and parties in your backyard? For those who love to travel, tailgate, or camp, a portable pizza oven is a great option to get fresh-baked, restaurant-quality pizza anywhere.
What else can you cook in an outdoor pizza oven?
Pizza ovens aren't just for pizza! There are plenty of things you can cook in wood-fired and gas ovens, from roasted vegetables and baked fish to freshly-baked flatbreads, slow-cooked meats, and even steak! Rest assured, you'll get a lot of use out of your pizza oven.
How long does it take to cook pizza in a pizza oven?
In a regular oven, pizzas take between 8 and 15 minutes to bake. But in a wood-fired pizza oven, it should only take one to two minutes to cook. Wood-fired pizza ovens can reach the ideal cooking temperature of 700°F (370°C).
How do you cook pizza in an outdoor pizza oven?
In a wood-fired pizza oven: Once your pizza oven has reached 700°F+ degrees, carefully place the pizza in the oven using a pizza peel. Be sure to rotate the pizza every 20 seconds to turn the part of the pizza closest to the fire away from it for an even bake and perfect crust.
In a gas pizza oven: Place a pizza stone in your oven and preheat to 500°F or the highest maximum temperature. It will take at least 30 minutes for the pizza stone to heat. Remove pizza when the top is bubbling and the crust has browned (between 8-12 minutes).
Are backyard pizza ovens worth it?
Yes, especially since they can be used for more than just pizza. You can use them like your home oven, adding a versatile cooking tool to your outdoor kitchen.
What is the best outdoor pizza oven kit?
The Chicago Brick Oven DIY pizza oven kits are our favorite pizza ovens for the home; You or your contractor can build them in and make them match any style of outdoor kitchen.
How much does a good outdoor pizza oven cost?
Depending on the size you're looking for the price will vary, but a high-quality, medium size oven will be around $2,000.
Which type of pizza oven is best?
Wood burning is going to be the most authentic experience but comes with a small learning curve. Gas ovens are going to give you results that are close but also are a lot easier to use.
What wood is best for a pizza oven?
Well-dried hardwoods without strong tastes are usually best; Oak is our preference for wood-fired pizza.
Do outdoor pizza ovens work?
Outdoor pizza ovens work very efficiently, and should not be used indoors.
What else can I cook in a pizza oven?
Anything that you could cook in an indoor oven can be cooked in a pizza cooker as well, as long as they fit! They function in a similar way to a broiler, by putting heat directly on the top of a dish.
How close can a pizza oven be to the house?
The manufacturers of the outdoor pizza ovens will have clearance directions in the owner's manual that must be followed for safe use.
Can you have a pizza oven in your house?
The pizza ovens sold on our site are for use outside only.
