Choosing between wood flavour and gas convenience is the usual dilemma with pizza ovens, and the George Foreman GFDFPO2BPC tries to avoid it altogether. It runs on wood pellets when you want smoke and on gas when you want quick, steady heat, with push-button piezo ignition for the gas side. It suits a household that cooks for different occasions, from a slow Saturday session to a quick weeknight pizza.

- Push-button piezo ignition lights the gas instantly, with no matches needed.
- A pizza paddle, pellet shovel and carry bag are included, plus foldable legs.

Our take
Two fuels, one oven
George Foreman says the oven reaches up to 500°C in minutes on either fuel. Pellets give a wood-fired character, while gas offers the quicker, more reliable route. The specifications list propane alongside wood pellets.
What the listing does not explain is how you switch between the two, for example whether the pellet hopper and the gas burner sit side by side or one is swapped for the other. Read the manual before your first cook so the changeover is clear. The listing also does not say whether a gas regulator is supplied.
Box contents and build
Included are a pizza paddle, a wood pellet shovel, a carry bag and the user manual. The body and base are stainless steel with a textured, powder-coated black finish, and the stone is described as heat resistant to imitate a brick oven floor.
The legs fold. Dimensions are 72 cm high, 36 cm wide and 68 cm deep, and the weight is 13.6 kg, about 3 kg more than the pellet-only George Foreman model.
Beyond pizza and the guarantee
The maker lists grilling, roasting, baking and slow cooking, with steaks, focaccia, pulled pork and ribs as examples. Slow cooking on gas is likely to be easier to hold steady than on pellets.
A 1 year manufacturer's guarantee is stated, shorter than the 5 years DeliVita offers on registration.
Other multi-fuel and portable options
The Mimiuo Classic W-Oven takes wood or pellets and adds a chimney cover for flame control, but has no gas option. The DeliVita Diavolo is gas only, yet arrives with an infrared gun, carry case and two regulators. The George Foreman is the one to pick if you specifically want gas and pellets in the same body.
Verdict
Buy the George Foreman dual fuel oven if you want wood pellet flavour some days and quick gas heat on others, without owning two ovens. Check the regulator situation and the fuel changeover before you buy. If you only ever plan to use gas, the DeliVita Diavolo is better equipped, and the Mimiuo Classic W-Oven suits those happy with wood and pellets alone.
