How many pies per hour will your oven actually deliver? Use the Pizza Throughput Calculator to compare 14+ ovens by realistic recovery time, not just max temp.
Tell us your party size and skill level. We calculate realistic pies-per-hour for each oven, accounting for preheat time, cook time, and recovery time between pies — the spec brands hide.
True 12-inch Neapolitan pizzas need stone diameter + dome height clearance. Many "12-inch" ovens can't fit one. Check before you buy.
Koda 16 vs Arc, Karu 16 vs Dome, Roccbox vs Karu 12G. Five head-to-head spec comparisons across the two category leaders. Recovery time, max temp, build material, fuel flexibility.
Six portable ovens ranked. We define "portable" strictly: under 35 lbs, no permanent gas line. The cult favourites and the underdogs.
950°F is the magic number. But also: stone material, dome height, recovery time. Why not every oven labelled "Neapolitan" can actually make a true Neapolitan pizza.
Most pizza oven content is marketing fluff. "I tested this oven — it makes great pizza!" Of course it does, they all do. The real question is which one fits your party size, your fuel preference, your patio space, and your budget.
That's a calculator problem, not a review problem. Our Pizza Throughput Calculator does the math: party size + cook time + recovery time → pies-per-hour estimate per oven. That's the spec brands hide because the marketing focuses on max temp, not throughput.
The Karu 12G recovers in ~1 minute between pies. The Gozney Arc takes ~5 minutes. If you're hosting 12 people, that 4-minute difference is the difference between everyone eating together and the host stuck at the oven for an hour.
