Pizza ovens

any current recommendations from anyone for an indoor pizza oven that’s not gonna require a major investment if it didn’t work out? (The Ooni volt looks and sounds great but €899…)

not really in a good position for getting an outdoor gas or wood fired one just yet but that’s the end goal so in the meantime I’m just wanting to grab something for the kitchen that’s gonna keep us happy til outdoor is feasible!

There’s a few recommendations at the top of this thread but that goes back a good while so if they still hold up or there’s something new around I’d love to hear about it! Thanks folks :)

Working on the back garden presently. We’re getting the lawn taken out and replaced with gravel and patio slabs then once that’s done I will look at getting garden furniture and outdoor cooking gear (BBQ’s etc).

Part of that though involves sorting out the garden shed to have a place to store the stuff in the off seasons.

But all that is unlikely to be finished before next year being realistic and I would like a nice pizza sooner than that. Local takeaways are all crap to be honest. Seems the only way they know how to make pizza involves using a shovel for the cheese.

Just hit my limit paying €15+ for a pizza that’s essentially inedible with half cooked toppings and more cheese on a single pizza than an Italian could use in a month. If the Ooni Volt is the only way to go I’ll buy it to be honest I don’t really mind but I’m sure based on the earlier posts in this thread there’s a viable and budget friendly alternative!

But if it came to it I can justify the Volt on the basis of using it the 9 months a year it’s either pouring rain, gale force wind or freezing cold. 👏 just prefer to funnel the money towards getting the yard done if I can

ah cool can get a dual one as well!! That looks amazing; longevity sounds good too cos as I say when the weathers shite but the pizza mood strikes 👏

I give it a bash- see how it goes! Honestly barely use the “big” oven anymore as it’s not great at maintaining temperature and accuracy in temp.

I checked with an oven thermometer before when set to 250c it was barely at 170!

I think depends on the regulator you have- propane regulator will only work with propane tanks but an LPG regulator will work with butane or patio gas.

The good news is that the regulator will only fit on the correct cylinder so if unsure which is right take a pic (or if you can bring it with you) and the shop you visit should be able to advise.

I bought a cylinder of butane once for a BBQ we had but found out after it was propane and the regulator wouldn’t fit at all. But for usage it is really as much as a muchness if you have to buy a regulator yourself and it doesn’t matter which you get; just go for whatever one gets you the best value for money 👏

5kg patio gas cylinder would last a good while to be honest. I get the regular size butane for our hob and change it prob every 4/5 months if that’s any help.
