A narrow balcony table or a bistro set rarely has room for a wide oven, and that is where the NutriChef NCPIZOVN earns its place. It is a stainless gas oven for 12 inch pizza that the listing gives as 31.5 cm wide and 9.9 kg, which makes it the slimmest and lightest model in several of our guides. A 360° rotating stone and built-in ignition round off a package that comes with its regulator and hose.

In its favour
- At 9.9 kg and 31.5 cm wide it is the lightest and slimmest oven in this guide.
- The rotating stone helps even out the bake, and ignition is built in, according to the listing.
- A regulator and 1 m hose are included, and the maker states 500°C in 10 to 15 minutes.
Good to know
- The listing points to Amazon for warranty rather than stating a period.
- It is 64.1 cm deep, so check the table depth as well as the width.
Our take
Heat and the rotating stone
NutriChef quotes up to 500°C, a preheat of 10 to 15 minutes and 12 inch pizzas in about 60 seconds. The stone rotates through a full circle, which should help even out the bake in an oven that heats from one side, though the listing does not say whether the rotation is driven or turned by hand.
An adjustable dial controls the flame, and the maker suggests meat, fish, vegetables, pies, chicken and even cookies as well as pizza.
Measurements to check
The width is what makes it easy to place, but depth is 64.1 cm and height 41 cm. On a small table, the back of the oven may overhang, so measure front to back as well as side to side.
Assembly is described as tool-free and quick. The feet fold for storage, and cleaning is a wipe of the stainless exterior with a suitable cleaner.
What is and is not included
In the box you get the oven, the burner, the stone, a regulator and a 1 m hose, so a bottle of gas is the only extra. The listing does not mention a peel, a cover or a carry bag.
Warranty is unclear: the specification field says to contact Amazon rather than giving a period. The brand also has a second 30 cm NutriChef oven on this site with an L-shaped burner, so check you are reading the right page.
Versus the DeliVita and the George Foreman
The DeliVita Diavolo is wider and heavier, but it ships with a carry case, folding peel and infrared gun, and carries a 5 year guarantee on registration. The George Foreman 12 inch pellet oven offers wood smoke and a carry bag at a similar weight, at the cost of feeding pellets. The NutriChef keeps things simpler than either.
Verdict
Buy the NutriChef 30.48 cm gas oven if table width and carrying weight are your main limits and you want a regulator and hose included. It is less suited to anyone who wants a stated warranty period or a bag for travel. In that case the DeliVita Diavolo, with its case and long guarantee, is the better route, and the George Foreman pellet oven suits wood fans.
