Best outdoor pizza ovens for UK gardens

In its favour

• Switch between wood pellets for flavour and gas for quick, reliable heat, as the maker describes.
• Push-button piezo ignition lights the gas instantly, with no matches needed.
• A pizza paddle, pellet shovel and carry bag are included, plus foldable legs.

Good to know

• The listing does not explain how you change from one fuel to the other, so read the manual first.
• Only a 1 year guarantee is stated, and no exact heat-up time is given.

In its favour

• Arrives with a folding peel, infrared temperature gun, carry case and regulator and hose, so little else is needed.
• The listing states a 5 year guarantee on registration, longer than most ovens in this guide.
• Comes with a camping regulator as well as a standard one, so it can run from camping gas away from home.

Good to know

• The title gives 10.5 kg but the specs list 17.6 kg, so check the real weight before buying for travel.
• The stated top temperature of 450°C is lower than the 500°C claimed by several rivals here.

In its favour

• Takes 14 inch pizzas, a useful step up in area from the 12 inch ovens most portable models are built around.
• A 12 mm cordierite stone and a built-in thermometer help you judge when the oven is ready.
• The listing states a 15 minute heat time and 90 second pizzas, with a 2 year limited warranty.

Good to know

• The listing does not state a maximum temperature, so you cannot compare top heat directly.
• At 18 kg it is the heaviest gas oven here, which matters if it will not live on one table.

In its favour

• Eight functions including Pizza, Max Roast, Smoker and Dehydrate make it far more than a pizza oven.
• Six pizza settings, including Artisan, New York and Deep Pan, with no turning needed according to Ninja.
• This bundle adds a 900 g bag of Robust Blend hardwood pellets on top of the starter packs.

Good to know

• The stated 370°C is well below gas ovens, and Ninja quotes under 3 minutes per pizza, not 60 seconds.
• Needs mains power outdoors, and the listing does not state the oven's weight or dimensions.

In its favour

• A stated 15 minute heat-up is among the quickest of the 12 inch ovens here.
• The maker states 500°C and pizza in about 60 seconds once the stone is hot.
• Fold-out legs and a simple stone insert make setup quick, according to the listing.

Good to know

• The listing does not give dimensions, so measure your table against Ooni's own figures.
• Regulator and hose are not included, and it is a renewed unit with a 1 year limited warranty.

In its favour

• The stone rotates automatically during baking, so you do not need to turn the pizza with a peel.
• Includes a UK gas regulator, a 13 inch round stone, a foldable aluminium peel and a protective cover.
• The maker states 500°C after 10 to 15 minutes and a 12 or 13 inch pizza in about 1 minute.

Good to know

• A rotating mechanism adds a part that a fixed-stone oven does not have to look after.
• The listing does not state the warranty length or how the rotation is powered.

In its favour

• At 11.3 kg with folding legs it is one of the lighter ovens here and easy to move around a garden.
• The maker states 460°C after an 18 minute preheat and pizza in 90 seconds or less.
• Assembles without tools and comes apart for cleaning and storage, according to the listing.

Good to know

• Pellets need topping up through the bake, and you turn the pizza often by hand, as the maker advises.
• Warranty wording is unclear: one bullet mentions 24 months while the specs state 1 year.
