# Best pizza ovens under £400 Source: https://peelandflame.co.uk/best/best-pizza-oven-under-400 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 You do not need to spend at the top of the market to get a proper pizza oven. At this level you still get a hot stone and pizzas in a few minutes or less; what you give up is size, insulation or extras such as a thermometer or carry case. The useful comparison is fuel, the top temperature the maker states, the largest pizza it takes, its weight and what comes in the box, because a missing regulator or peel adds to the real cost. This guide compares seven ovens across gas, pellet and outdoor electric. Every figure is from the listing. Where a listing leaves out something important, such as maximum temperature or weight, the table says so. ## Products ### 1. Jamie Oliver by Tefal Outdoor Gas Pizza Oven, Rotating Stone for Homemade Pizza, Pizza Parties, includes Pizza Peel, Gas Hose and Regulator, portable, foldable legs, black JM4168G0 Burner: Not stated; Stone turning: Hand-turned dial; Max temp (stated): Not stated; Regulator: Hose and regulator included; Weight: 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. ### 2.

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. ### 3.

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.

For those who want bigger pizzas and a solid, table-top oven.
