At-home pizza ovens have fast become all the rage for at-home chefs and families, and you can use them for preparing more than just pizza. Fish, meat, and roasted vegetable dishes can all be cooked in a pizza oven. While some can only be used outdoors due to the smoke they emit and the use of gas canisters as fuel, some are also designed for indoor use, so those without the luxury of a garden can still join in the fun.

The range is much wider than meets the eye, and whilst some of the designs are as simple to use as turning a knob, others require to be hooked up to a gas tank. With suitable equipment – like a fire pit and a pizza oven – you’ll find that outdoor cooking during the autumn and winter can be charming in itself.

From the finest for indoor cooking, to the fastest cooking time, as well as considerations of how swift they are to clean up and whether they are easy to transport, we’ve rounded up the best at-home pizza ovens.

Fuel type: electric

Cooking surface: 12”

For a beautiful leopard-spotted pizza crust from the comfort of your own kitchen, this electric pizza oven from Sage is ideal. This is the first domestic countertop oven to reach 400°C and will cook a pizza in two minutes. The Sage pizza oven aims to replicate the baking environment of a classic brick oven, and can even be used to jazz up a frozen pizza by ensuring a crispy base and perfectly cooked toppings.

Speaking of toppings, the deflector shield protects delicate toppings from the heat of the oven, meaning while the base will cook to a crisp, you don’t have to burn your toppings to do so. To do so, select crust only in the controlling desk for a classic Neapolitan style pizza, or select even heat to have the toppings and dough evenly browned.

As you plan your outdoor pizza setup, it’s also worth exploring the accessories and extras that can elevate your cooking experience. Pizza peels available from Ooni, infrared thermometers from Lakeland, and dough boxes available from Ooni, can make preparation and cooking much simpler.
