These are great if you have a small garden and aren’t planning to cook pizza on occasion. These lightweight gadgets can often reach impressive high temperatures and feature foldable legs, meaning you can easily store it indoors or in a shed.
Freestanding pizza ovens
Planning on making pizzas regularly? Then a freestanding oven may be best for you. These large ovens don’t have to be built in, meaning it’s usually a cheaper option.
Freestanding pizza ovens can also be moved around easily, allowing you to cook more than one pizza at a time. They usually come with protective covers too, so you can leave them out all summer.
