The Best Outdoor Pizza Ovens For Your Garden This Summer
Looking to holiday in your own back garden this year? Either way, there’s one thing you absolutely need to take your summer to the next level - an outdoor pizza oven.
Outdoor ovens are soaring in popularity lately, as more and more of us want that taste of al fresco life without having to wait for our next getaway! Pizza ovens allow us to bring a little piece of the Mediterranean right to our doorstep, spending the day relaxing, hand making our own dough and staying warm by the flames long into the evening.
Are you sold? We certainly are! So, to help you find the perfect oven for your garden this year, we have put together a guide to some of our best outdoor pizza ovens for all needs.
What is the Best Outdoor Pizza Oven?
Quality is key when choosing an outdoor pizza oven that is worth your investment. While budget ovens are available, they will likely struggle to get up to temperature quickly enough if they are not well-insulated and efficient. If your pizza oven can't reach at least 400°C, you won't be able to achieve that crispy base with a soft centre that makes wood fired pizza so special.
There are some other things to bear in mind too, such as size and how many people you want to be able to cater for. The best outdoor pizza ovens not only have a pizza stone, but can also be used for roasting, smoking, baking and more!
So, without further ado, here are our top picks - from small and stylish to big traditional brick ovens...
