Fancy a slice in the sunshine? These are the best pizza ovens for authentic pies, al fresco style

Forget BBQs — I’m calling it, this is going to be the summer of crispy, gooey and tomatoey outdoor pizza. The home pizza oven market is now fully established, and there’s a wide variety of options for different households. Gas pizza ovens are probably the most common, but you can also pick up wood and charcoal options for a delicious, smokey flavor. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, you can keep your options open by picking a multi-fuel option. Pizza purists should look away now, but I’ve even included a few electric options, which deliver maximum convenience and precise temperature control.

Perhaps the two biggest brands in this space are Ooni and Gozney, both of which have a wide range of pizza oven options at different price points. These include compact, portable ovens you could feasibly pop in your car and set up at a family gathering, as well as chunkier ones that are definitely designed to stay put. Shopping around, you’ll also find that some big kitchen brands have a pizza oven or two in the mix, and there are a few smaller, independent brands to watch out for too.
