12’’ Outdoor Pizza Oven Wood Fired Pizza Oven Portable Patio Ovens Included Pizza Stone, Pizza Peel, Fold-up Legs, Cover Cooking Rack for Camping Backyard BBQ

If you're specifically wanting a wood burning pizza oven, you really can't go wrong with this one. Assembly was very simple and all the screws etc were included. With the flame cutouts and a few other touches, it looks nicer that you would expect for the price. The build quality is more than acceptable for what you're spending. The trick to getting good pizza with an oven where the heat source is below the cooking surface is always going to be getting the full pizza to cook before the bottom gets burnt. As another reviewer suggested, you'll help yourself by adding another pizza stone or a slab of basalt beneath the included pizza stone. I had prior experience with a homemade pizza oven, so that's helped make it easy to dial in a good cook with this one. The only small design critique I could offer for this product is that a different hinge on the upper door, one that allowed the door to swing out closer to 180 degrees, would have been ideal. With the 90 degree hinge, which opens to about 85 degrees since the rivets are in the way, makes it feel a little tighter than would be ideal getting pizzas in and out. It doesn't actually get in the way, it just makes things feel a little tighter than would be ideal. But it's a minor thing that doesn't impact the actual use of the oven. But ya, I'm very happy with the purchase, the pizza I can make with this oven, and the value and build quality for the price.

The stove was super easy to assemble. The instructions were included and there were no missing parts. Another reviewer stated that there were no instructions for cooking. Well….that has nothing to do with the stove. The best thing was the side door. It’s so much safer than the ones that open out. One thing to make sure is to remove all the plastic covering on the stove’s door, legs, etc. When firing up for pizzas, especially, the fire needs to burn HOT HOT HOT. In fact, even the coating on the inside of the top door flaked off. Some tips on the stove: 1) Do at least one initial burn before cooking to get rid of any smell of the materials. 2) Remove the ash tray and just set it on the ground below the opening. The air flow will help with the fire. But I also tried leaving it in and it worked just fine as well. 3) The pizza stone is thin. But I knew this from the pictures before buying it. So, I bought another one similar in size and doubled it up. 4) The thermostat is only as good as telling you “cooling down” (arrow to the left), “warming up” (arrow in the middle) and “hot” (arrow to the right. I wouldn’t rely on the actual numbers. This is true with most wood burning stoves. I don’t think there is a thermostat that can withstand that kind of heat, especially things that are made for household use. Some tips on making pizza in the stove: I read reviews from other similar products, and many people complain of soot on the pizza, burnt pizza, a gigantic fire, etc. These reviewers just need to practice making the dough and use the stove often to tweak it to their needs. As for myself, I had a homemade pizza oven that I had to destroy because mice decided to move in and not leave. I was looking for a pizza stone and came across this oven. For an extra $50, I figured I’d just get the stove. It was such a deal. I make pizzas everyday and eat like bread and cheese throughout the day. For the dough not to stick to the stone, the consistency of the dough and cleanliness of the pizza peel, stone and the dough are the key. It needs to slide freely WITHOUT any flour or cornmeal. Also, don’t put the dough when the fire is raging. The bottoms will burn while you wait for the top to cook. What I do is put A LOT of wood and burn it HOT HOT HOT. Wait for the smoke to clear and you have just a nice fire going. When the fire has tamed down and smoke gone, that’s the time to put the pizza in. Close the door for a minute or so, and then open the door and use a metal spatula to gently lift the pizza. It should not stick. Close the door, open the door, intermittently and turn the pizza. It will make sure that the crust doesn’t burn. And towards the end, close the door one final time for the top to golden. It also helps to place small rocks around the corners. Rocks absorb the soot and keep the heat in. And oh, besides the small sticks at the bottom (to get the fire started), I place the wood horizontally. Placing the wood vertically towards you creates an uneven burn. As far as adding more wood, don’t just toss it to the back. It will create smoke and cause the ashes to go up into the top compartment. Place 1 or 2 pieces of wood at the edge of the lower compartment, kind of like keeping them waiting in line. And always keep 1-2 (sometimes 3) pieces of wood “waiting in line” as the fire burns and uses up the wood. By the time the original batch of wood has burned out, the ones “waiting in line” will have already caught fire, gently and slowly. All you need to do is to gently PUSH them towards the back. This helps minimize smoke and soot. Never toss the new wood. And don’t poke around with the wood while you have the pizza inside. It will create smoke and the soot will contaminate the pizza. I think people expect the oven to do it all and make a great pizza like magic. It takes tweaking and practice. In restaurants, their oven is constantly going. So, it’s not the same with household pizza stoves. You just have to get the temperature just right for your pizzas and the number of pizzas. I usually make four thin crust NY style (which cooks fast) at a time. So, for the stove itself, it’s a great price and the stove is pretty solid. I mean, it can withstand a huge fire without bending and buckling. In fact, one of the rocks I placed in the top compartment chipped due to the intense fire. The stove itself is completely in good shape. No warping or buckling. And I’ve been using it pretty much everyday. Pretty impressive.

Arrived damaged. Waiting to hear from the seller. Easy set up

We enjoy this oven but it did not come with any instructions at all. As someone that never used this or something like this before it would have been helpful to have some guidance or tips - we googled ans figured things out and it cooked a good pizza!

Bought this for a Christmas gift for my brother and his family. I was nervous because there were not many reviews. But I chose this one because I liked that it is wood burning and has a nice size compartment for the wood. Also that there are 2 separate doors that open to the side and not down. It is compact enough to travel but big enough for a 12" pizza. My brother was able to assemble it easy enough and they used it the next day. He was thrilled it came with the accessories too. As a side note I would recommend a butane torch (which i also gifted) or something similar to make lighting the fire quick and easy. Overall I am delighted with this purchase so far. Hopefully they can make many pizzas in the future and maybe also try other foods as they advertise that you can do that too!

Was able to set up this pizza oven in a very short time looks great and well built. We made a pizza dough and fired up the oven. The pizza came out excellent. We use small chunks of pecan wood for the oven to cook the pizza with couldn’t ask for a better flavor.

for the price this is a great unit

It wasn’t as easy as it seems. Trying to maneuver the pizza dough inside the oven was a feat. Practice is the key I guess but with that said it is cheaper to order a pizza.
