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

Best Outdoor Pizza Oven

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.

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!

Blackstone Outdoor Pizza Oven for Outdoor Cooking

The Blackstone Outdoor Pizza Oven is a very simple, cool pizza oven. It features a fairly traditional look and doesn’t really stray too far from the gas grill shape, but it still has some nice design features, like the two-tone black/stainless color scheme.

This pizza oven features a rotating pizza stone and is powered by propane. It can reach temperatures of up to 1,000′, so you can achieve those needed temperatures for the perfect pizza!

Key Points at a Glance

You can cook pizzas up to 16 inches in size with this oven. And to ensure all your pizzas are of the best quality and cooked evenly, the rotisserie motor rotates the pie as it cooks.

Pizzacraft Pizzeria Pronto Outdoor Pizza Oven

The PC6000 Pizzeria Pronto Outdoor Pizza oven by Pizzacraft is a super cool compact outdoor pizza oven that hews toward a more traditional design but makes a fantastic pizza in a small footprint.

Capable of reaching temperatures of up to 700′, this oven is a bit lower in terms of temperature than some of the other ones on our list. However, it can make a mean pie nonetheless, and we love that it’s so easily portable!

Key Points at a Glance

• Extremely portable
• Fueled by propane
• Safe on any surface
• Can make pizza up to 12″

Dimensions

• Size: 18.6 x 18 x 15.5 inches
• Weight: 26 pounds
• Maximum temperature: 700° F

The Details

If you’re looking for a pizza oven that’s portable, well-priced, and perfect for those family and friend get-togethers, be sure to check out this outdoor pizza oven on offer from Pizzacraft.

Using propane as fuel, this pizza oven is ready to go in around 10 minutes. You can literally watch the temperature to soar to a firey 700° F right in front of you. Then from there, it will cook your pizza to perfection in just 5 mouth-watering minutes.

To help prevent sogginess when cooking, this machine has a built-in moisture vent located at the top of the oven, and its dual layer structure helps to ensure you only get evenly baked goods too. It’s also really easy to assemble.

The Pizza Stone in this unit is 14″ diameter, so figure you’ll be making about 12″ diameter pizzas — definitely a bit smaller than many of the other outdoor pizza makers on our list today.

There’s barely anything to put together, and can be ready to use in less than 5 minutes. Also available is a stand for the Pizzeria Pronto if you don’t want to use up valuable table space, and a protective cover that you should be sure to use!

It doesn’t look anywhere near as cool as the Uuni, and it can only cook slightly pizzas. It is also unable to reach the high temperatures of the Uuni or some of the other models on our list. The fact that it uses propane means that fuel is easy to acquire, and it really does make a good pizza. And at the price it’s positioned, the Pizzeria Pronto is a great offering.

For these reasons, it’s our budget choice.

Camp Chef Italia Artisan Pizza Oven

The Camp Chef Italia artisan pizza oven is a beautiful outdoor pizza oven with an all stainless finish and some serious cooking capabilities.

This unit can reach temperatures of up to 700′, which is a little lower than some of the other ovens on our list, but still more than capable of making fantastic pizza.

Key Points at a Glance

• Micro-adjust valve
• Ventilated over door
• Made from stainless steel
• Double-walled construction
• Makes pizza about 18″ x 11″

Dimensions

• Size:  16 x 26 x 16 inches
• Weight:  46 pounds
• Maximum temperature: 700°

The Details

If you’re looking for both style and functionality, cast your eye over this beauty. Made from sleek stainless steel with a graceful arched top, the Camp Chef Italia Artisan pizza oven is one elegant, smooth looking machine that will look great in any outdoor area.

The way it’s been designed, it cooks just as a brick oven, but without all the fuss. Simply preheat the pizza oven for around 15 minutes, and pop in a pizza. Within just a few minutes, you’ll have a fresh, mouth-watering pizza to enjoy!

To give you more control over your cooking, there’s even a built-in micro-adjust valve to allow easy control of the flame. There’s also an integrated temperature gauge that allows you to keep an eye on the core temperature of the machine to make sure you’re not veering too far off in any direction.

The Camp Chef Italia comes with a rectangular pizza stone that is about 20″ x 13″, so you can make a larger oblong pizza, or make multiple smaller personal pies at once.

You can run the oven straight off a disposable propane bottle for easy convenience, or hook it up to a standard 5-gallon propane tank for a more permanent solution.

To store, be sure you pick up the protective cover unless you have a place to put it that is completely sheltered.

The Bottom Line

The Camp Chef Italia is a really cool looking pizza oven that is very much evocative of traditional brick oven shape but with a modern twist. It’s sleek and quite compact. But don’t let that put you off as it still packs quite a punch.

With an oven that reaches temperatures of around 700°, a double layered ceiling to improve the cooking functionality, and the choice of using a portable or more permanent propane bottle there’s really not much to like with the Camp Chef Italia Artisan Pizza Oven and that’s why we’ve made it our runner-up.

The Camp Chef Italia is a great choice for those who want to stick with propane, but it is edged out by the Uuni 3 with its wood pellets. If you’re willing to deal with the hassle/fun of wood pellets, the Uuni is better designed, cooks hotter, and is overall a cooler outdoor pizza oven.

However, the Camp Chef Italia is an excellent option as well and is our runner-up pick.

ilFornino Professional Series Wood Fired Pizza Oven

The ilFornino Professional Series wood-fired pizza oven is absolutely stunning, with an all-stainless steel body, and a look that feels a bit closer to a traditional smoker than many of the other pizza ovens on our list.

Capable of hitting temperatures of 900’+, this huge, hefty wood-fired pizza oven is a great choice for those who want a sizable, seriously designed gourmet pizza oven for the yard.

It has a huge cooking area, and can realistically cook two 12″ pizzas at a time.

Key Points at a Glance

• Made from stainless steel
• Elegant look
• Extra insulated
• Cooking area: 990 sq. inches (6.75 sf)
• Can realistically cook two 12″ pizzas at once

Dimensions

• Size:  46.5 L x 30 W x 84 H inches
• Maximum temperature: 900+
• Total Weight: 280lbs
• Oven Weight: 200lbs
• Stand Weight: 80lbs

The Details

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!

The Bottom Line

There’s no denying that food cooked with the ilFornino Professional Series Wood Fired Pizza Oven tastes great, but considering the price of it, you’d expect nothing less.

You can also see straight away how incredibly well made this machine is. But is it worth the hefty price tag? Probably not.

Especially when the Uuni 3 Portable Pizza Oven will do everything this one will at a fraction of the cost (except cook two pizzas at once). And the assembly of this pizza oven isn’t exactly fun either.

So unless you’ve got bottomless pockets and a handyman up your sleeve, as fabulous as it is, you may want to give this pizza oven a swerve.

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!
