An outdoor pizza oven turns a patio into a pizzeria with a hot stone and a short bake. The big choice is fuel: propane, wood pellets, wood and charcoal, or plain electric power. Each one changes the setup, the cleanup and where you can put the oven.
The six ovens below run from a plug-in electric model to propane and pellet dual-fuel ovens. Sizes, fuels and features come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these ovens ourselves. Heat and bake-time figures are the makers’ own claims.
