  • Best overall

    Jamie Oliver by Tefal: 10.9 kg gas oven, rotating stone

    A side dial rotates the cordierite stone, so you can even out the bake without reaching in with a turning peel.

  • Best value

    George Foreman dual fuel: gas or pellets, 13.6 kg

    Switch between wood pellets for flavour and gas for quick, reliable heat, as the maker describes.

  • Most features

    DeliVita Diavolo: carry case and camping regulator included

    Includes an infrared temperature gun, so you can read the stone rather than guess.

A portable pizza oven has to do two jobs: bake properly and survive being carried from the car to a campsite pitch or a friend's patio. Weight matters most, but so does what you have to bring with it. A gas oven needs a bottle and the right regulator. A pellet oven needs a bag of fuel and somewhere to tip the ash. Folding legs and a carry bag or case make the difference between a tidy kit and a boot full of loose parts. This guide compares seven ovens by weight in kg, legs, carry bag or case, fuel and what else is in the box. Every figure comes from the listing. Remember that every oven here is for outdoor use only, including at a campsite, and never inside a tent, awning or caravan.

The products in detail

No. 1 · Tefal

Jamie Oliver by Tefal: 10.9 kg gas oven, rotating stone

GAS · 10.9 kg

A gas oven with a cordierite stone you rotate using a dial on the side, so the pizza turns without opening up the front. Hose, regulator and peel are in the box.

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.
