Families who find 12 inch pizzas disappear too quickly will notice the Gino D'Acampo Modena, a gas oven that takes 14 inches. Its retro matte black body carries an Italian flag stripe, and inside sits a 12 mm cordierite stone with a built-in thermometer to tell you when things are hot. It suits a garden where the oven has a permanent table, rather than someone who wants to pack it into a car every weekend.

In its favour
- Takes 14 inch pizzas, a useful step up in area from the 12 inch ovens most portable models are built around.
- A 12 mm cordierite stone and a built-in thermometer help you judge when the oven is ready.
- The listing states a 15 minute heat time and 90 second pizzas, with a 2 year limited warranty.
Good to know
- The listing does not state a maximum temperature, so you cannot compare top heat directly.
- At 18 kg it is the heaviest gas oven here, which matters if it will not live on one table.
Our take
Baking on the 12 mm stone
The listing describes a premium 12 mm cordierite stone. A thicker stone stores more heat, which helps it recover between pizzas when you are feeding several people in a row. Gino D'Acampo quotes a 15 minute setup and heat time and pizzas in about 90 seconds.
No maximum temperature is given, so you will rely on the thermometer and on how the crust colours. A separate infrared gun pointed at the stone would add useful information for anyone chasing a Neapolitan style bake.
Size, weight and what is in the box
Amazon gives 65 cm deep, 44 cm wide and 35 cm high, with a weight of 18 kg. The legs fold, but at that weight it is more of a garden fixture than a travel oven.
Included are the oven, the pizza stone and the manual. A regulator, hose and peel are not listed, so add them to your order. The warranty is stated as 2 years limited.
Modena or Vesuvio?
Gino D'Acampo sells a near twin called the Vesuvio, which shares the 14 inch size, 12 mm stone and thermometer. On the listings the main difference is styling: the Modena adds the flag stripe. Choose on looks and availability.
Other outdoor ovens to consider
The DeliVita Diavolo bakes 12 inch pizza at a stated 450°C and comes with a peel, infrared gun, case and regulators, plus a 5 year guarantee on registration. The Mimiuo Tisserie G-Oven turns its 13 inch stone automatically and includes a UK regulator, peel and cover. The Modena's advantage is the larger pizza size, while the others offer more in the box.
Verdict
The Gino D'Acampo Modena suits a household that wants 14 inch pizzas, a thick stone and a built-in thermometer, and is happy to buy a regulator and peel separately. For a 12 inch oven that comes fully equipped, choose the DeliVita Diavolo, and if automatic turning appeals, the Mimiuo Tisserie G-Oven is the closer fit.
