Best pizza ovens under £400

In its favour

• A side dial rotates the cordierite stone, so you can even out the bake without reaching in with a turning peel.
• Comes with a stainless steel peel, hose and gas regulator, and the listing states it suits UK gas bottles.
• Tefal states spare parts are available for 15 years after purchase, which helps keep the oven going.

Good to know

• The listing does not state a maximum temperature or the stone size, both useful to compare.
• Warranty detail in the specs is unclear, so check the guarantee terms on Tefal's own site.

In its favour

• Electric heat with no flame, wood or gas, which suits close neighbours and small spaces.
• At 32 cm high and 42 cm wide, it sits low on a small table, with a viewing window and light.
• Doubles as an air fryer and baking oven, with a 2 year guarantee on registration.

Good to know

• Needs mains power outdoors, so use a suitable weatherproof outdoor socket.
• A stated 370°C and about 3 minutes per pizza is slower than a gas oven.

In its favour

• Rotate the stone with a handle to even out browning, rather than lifting the pizza with a peel.
• The listing states 500°C in 10 to 15 minutes and a 12 or 13 inch pizza in about 1 minute.
• A UK gas regulator, 13 inch round stone, aluminium peel and protective cover are all included.

Good to know

• The front is open-plan, so on a windy evening the flame may need a sheltered spot.
• The listing does not state the warranty period or the burner layout.

In its favour

• Takes 14 inch pizzas, giving more room to turn and more pizza than a 12 inch oven.
• A 12 mm cordierite stone and built-in thermometer are listed, with a 15 minute heat time.
• Foldable legs and a 2 year warranty are stated by the seller.

Good to know

• The listing does not say whether a regulator and hose are included, so plan to buy one.
• No maximum temperature is stated, and at 18 kg it is the heaviest oven in this guide.

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

• The maker states 460°C after an 18 minute preheat and pizza in 90 seconds or less.
• A square 12 by 12 inch stone uses the floor fully for a 12 inch pizza.
• Folding legs and tool-free assembly make it easy to set up and pack away.

Good to know

• You need to turn the pizza often by hand, as the maker's own instructions say.
• Warranty is listed as 1 year in the specs but more than 24 months in a bullet, so confirm it.

In its favour

• Setup is quick according to the listing: unfold the legs, place the stone and connect a gas bottle.
• A UK gas regulator comes in the box, along with the 13 inch stone.
• The stone lifts out for cleaning, and the maker states pizzas take about 60 seconds.

Good to know

• The stated 950°C is far above any other oven here, so treat that figure with caution.
• No warranty, burner layout or dimensions are given in the listing.
