Best Outdoor Pizza Oven: Mouth-Watering Al-Fresco Pizza!

If you’ve tried to make pizza in a traditional home oven, you know it can be good, but it’s just not the same as you get from a restaurant. The max temperature a standard kitchen oven gets to is maybe 550’, while pizza needs at least 700’, and ideally as much as 900’ to get that perfect cook. So if you want the perfect pizza, you’ll need an outdoor pizza oven! These ovens can get very hot, and are a great solution to making pizza, and are a whole lot of fun. After a thorough look at the market, we have found that the best outdoor pizza oven is the Bertello Outdoor Pizza Oven.

The Bertello pizza oven is one of the fastest to heat up and cook, and can reach temperatures of 930’+! It also looks stunning and is reasonably priced. What more could you want from an outdoor pizza oven? For a complete review of the Bertello Outdoor Pizza Oven, see our Product Reviews section below.

If you don’t love the Bertello pizza oven for one reason or another, you should certainly check out the Camp Chef Italia Artisan Pizza Oven. It looks really great and heats up incredibly quickly.

Rather than use wood pellets to fuel the fire, this pizza oven uses propane, so is slightly less eco-friendly than the Uuni model, though fuel is easier to source. It doesn’t get quite as hot, though. The design of the Bertello is a little cooler, but if you prefer working with Propane, you’ll love the Camp Chef Italia! For a complete review, see our Product Reviews section below.

Hold on to your chef hats and prepare to be amazed by this fantastic professional pizza oven on offer from ilFornino. Not an oven (or a price!) for the faint-hearted, this pizza oven is definitely one of the more expensive models out there, but it is made with the pro in mind. Constructed out of high-quality stainless steel and insulated deeply, this pizza oven will help make your food taste as though it’s just come from a restaurant kitchen. It takes around 30 minutes to completely cook a pizza using this pizza oven including heating up. While this may seem a little long in comparison to others out there, once you taste your food, you’ll understand that it’s well worth the wait, and of course, once it’s heated up, you can crank out multiple pizzas quickly. The cooking area of the ilFornino is huge, and it can cook up to four 12“ pizzas at a time. However, as the pizzas need to be constantly rotated, realistically you can cook two 12“ pizzas at once. Another great feature about this pizza oven is that it’s fueled by wood, and can retain its high temperature for longer thanks to two heavy ceramic blankets for insulation. Be sure to get the all-weather cover for this one, as you don’t want to let your hefty investment get damaged by the elements!

Conclusion

Hopefully, after reading this review you’ll be ready to make your next outdoor kitchen purchase. If you’re unsure, we definitely recommend the Uuni 3 Portable Pizza Oven. It’s not the cheapest model to buy outright, but it does run on wood pellets, meaning it will cost you less in the long run. And it’s so cool looking! If however, Uuni just doesn’t do it for you, be sure to take a peek at the Camp Chef Italia Artisan model. It’s slightly different in that it runs on propane, but still produces beautifully tasting pizzas. Or, if you want to try and save a few pennies, the Pizzacraft Pizzeria Pronto Outdoor Pizza Oven may be more your style. It looks great, is perfect for transporting around, and it doesn’t cost a fortune either!
