Pizza Ovens

Outdoor Pizza Ovens: Cooking Performance for UK Gardens

How Pizza Ovens Work

Pizza ovens reach significantly higher temperatures than conventional kitchen ovens, typically between 300 and 500 degrees Celsius depending on the model and fuel type. This intense heat cooks pizza quickly and evenly, producing a crisp base and properly cooked toppings in a matter of minutes. Wood fired models build heat gradually using burning logs, while gas models reach temperature faster with more precise control. The cooking surface, usually a stone or clay base, absorbs and retains heat to ensure consistent results across multiple cooks. Browse the full fire pits collection to complete your outdoor setup.

Wood Fired vs Gas Pizza Ovens

Wood fired pizza ovens produce a smoky flavour that many consider essential to authentic outdoor cooking. They require more preparation time to reach temperature and more attention during cooking, but the results are difficult to replicate with other methods. Gas pizza ovens are faster, more controllable, and easier to use on a regular basis without the need to source and store wood. For those who already use a wood burning fire pit, a wood fired pizza oven is a natural addition that uses the same fuel supply.

Size, Placement and Garden Suitability

Pizza ovens range from compact countertop models suited to smaller patios to large freestanding structures designed for permanent garden installation. Portable models can be moved between locations and stored when not in use, which suits gardens where space or weather is a factor. A pizza oven pairs well with a BBQ smoker for a complete outdoor cooking setup, giving the option to smoke, roast, and bake across different cooking styles in the same outdoor space.
