# Best pizza ovens under £250 Source: https://peelandflame.co.uk/best/best-pizza-oven-under-250 Publisher: Peel and Flame. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://peelandflame.co.uk/how-we-pick At the lower end of the market most outdoor pizza ovens look alike: a steel shell, folding legs and a stone. The real differences sit in the details. Some come with a regulator and hose, so you can cook the day they arrive; others leave you to buy the right UK fitting. Stone size decides whether a 13 or 14 inch pizza fits. A few ovens add a turning stone or a second fuel, which can be worth more than a higher temperature claim. Weight matters if the oven lives in the shed and comes out at weekends. This guide compares eight ovens under £250 by fuel, stone size, stated top temperature, what is in the box and weight, using only what each listing states. Where a listing does not give a figure, the table says Not stated. ## Products ### 1.
