Most portable gas ovens are built for 12 inch pizza, so the Gino D'Acampo Vesuvio stands out by taking 14 inches. It wraps that larger floor in a retro shell with a matte black finish, and adds a built-in thermometer and a thick 12 mm cordierite stone. It suits a garden host feeding a few people at once, who wants a solid oven that stays on one table rather than travelling.

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.
Our take
Stone, thermometer and timings
The listing describes a 12 mm cordierite stone, chosen for even heat and a crisp base. The thermometer is built in, so you have a reading without a separate infrared gun, though it measures air temperature rather than the stone surface.
Heat-up takes about 15 minutes according to the bullets, with pizzas cooked in roughly 90 seconds. No maximum temperature is stated, which makes direct comparison with ovens quoting 450 or 500°C harder.
Size and weight
Amazon lists it at 65 cm deep, 44 cm wide and 35 cm high, weighing 18 kg. That is the heaviest gas oven in our gas and budget guides. The legs fold and the maker mentions camping trips, but most owners will find it easier to leave in one place under a cover.
Gas connection and warranty
The included components field lists only the pizza oven, and nothing in the listing confirms a regulator or hose. Budget for a suitable UK propane regulator. No peel is mentioned either, so add one to your shopping list.
A 2 year warranty is stated in the specification table. The control type is listed as touch, which is unusual on a gas oven and is not explained further.
Against its neighbours
The Q Pizza gas oven takes a 13 inch stone and includes a UK regulator, so it is ready out of the box at 14.2 kg. The Mimiuo manual rotation oven quotes 500°C and turns its 13 inch stone with a handle. If 14 inch pizza is the goal, the Vesuvio is the only one of these to offer it.
Verdict
Choose the Gino D'Acampo Vesuvio when bigger 14 inch pizzas, a thick cordierite stone and a built-in thermometer matter more than portability. Be ready to buy a regulator and peel. If you want a complete kit at a lower weight, the Q Pizza oven is a simpler start, and the Mimiuo manual rotation oven suits anyone who wants help turning the pizza.
