But outdoor ovens are not expensive anymore, there are so many amazing affordable outdoor pizza oven options and we are going to explore them in this list because let’s face it, not all of us want to invest thousands of dollars to get a pizza oven.

But, why invest in an outdoor pizza oven?

Well, one has to agree that cooking pizza outdoors is the best feeling ever. You get to enjoy nature and at the same time cook hot pizzas on the pizza oven.

If the weather is on your side then the experience just gets better. So, investing in a pizza oven is completely worth it, if you are a pizza enthusiast or someone who loves eating pizza every other day.

There are several companies in recent years who have come up with some really amazing pizza oven models and there are so many options out there.

There are different outdoor pizza ovens and with so many different categories, it does get a little difficult to choose the ones that are the best.

But after considering every aspect we have our list with the best outdoor pizza ovens for the year-

P.S. There is a guide on how to choose the best outdoor pizza oven towards the end so make sure you have a look at it if you are beginner and do not know much about pizza ovens.

1. Ooni Pro Pizza Oven

Ooni Pizza ovens are known for being the best pizza ovens. They are lightweight, portable, and are easy to use. You can bake a pie within a few minutes with this oven making it quick as well.

The Ooni Pro is the best pizza oven model from the company.

It comes with amazing features, like being multi-fueled. This means you can use it as a wood-fired pizza oven or a gas furled pizza oven according to your convenience.

You even have the option to use coal as a fuel with this pizza oven.

The oven is pretty amazing, and you are going to get a lot of great features for the given price tag of the pizza oven.

The oven is easy to use and install as well, making it user-friendly.

It is the first pizza oven on the list because of the price/feature balance making it our top recommendation.

Pros

1. Ooni Pro is a multi-fueled pizza oven.

2. You can quickly cook large pizzas or even two small pizzas inside the oven simultaneously, meaning there is a lot of cooking space.

3. It can cook other dishes apart from pizza as well, all you need is an iron skillet, and you can get started with cooking.

4. The oven is portable. It is not as easily portable, and you might need help, but it is better than most of the huge outdoor pizza ovens.

5. Getting the pizza oven fired up for cooking takes a few minutes, unlike so many wood-fired ovens that take 20-30 minutes.

6. The price/feature balance on the oven is excellent.

Cons

1. Ooni Pro Pizza Oven comes in a lovely metallic finish, but after one use, you might see some changes in the finish because of the large amount of smoke produced, but overall, the functioning remains the same.

2. You need an IR thermometer to accurately measure the temperature inside the pizza oven despite the temperature monitor.

2. Roccbox Pizza Oven

Roccbox Pizza Oven is the second pizza oven on the list that we think is an amazing countertop outdoor pizza oven. Roccbox Pizza Ovens can be used commercially or even at home.

The Roccbox Pizza Oven looks gorgeous with its all green design and it is again portable and lightweight in comparison to most of the wood-fired outdoor pizza ovens that are usually huge.

The pizza oven can be wood-fired pizza oven or gas-fueled pizza ovens as well so that you can choose how you want to go about when it comes to cooking pizzas inside your pizza oven.

One of the features of the pizza oven that stands out is how easily it can reach higher temperatures that are needed to cook pizzas. This makes the oven user-friendly and hence making it one of our top recommendations.

Pros-

1. User-Friendly and easy to use. The oven has a very premium look to it and it would make your pizza setup look perfect.

2. It is a multifueled pizza oven; hence you can choose to cook pizzas with a gas burner or make it a wood-fired pizza oven.

3. It can cook pizzas within a few minutes. It would mostly take you about a minute or two to finish cooking pizzas which is pretty fast. This makes the Roccbox Oven perfect for commercial use as well.

4. It can reach higher temperatures really quick making it a perfect oven for pizzas.

5. The Pizza Oven is relatively smaller in size and a countertop pizza oven that can sit anywhere in your backyard.

Cons-

1. Considering the price/feature balance, I find the Ooni Pro a better option as it comes at around the same price but with slightly better features.

3. Ooni Karu Pizza Oven

The newest release from Ooni is the Ooni Karu. If you have been thinking of getting a budget outdoor pizza oven then this one is the best option.

The Ooni Karu is a recent release and you can see for yourself that the pizza oven has so many design improvements in comparison to the other budget models that it sells.

This Pizza Oven is more like a revamped version of the Ooni 3 and if you are looking for a budget wood-fired pizza oven then Karu is going to be my personal recommendation to all the pizza lovers out there.

The Karu has more space than the Ooni 3 and it comes with a wood burner attachment making it a primarily wood-burning pizza oven.

You can get the gas burner attachment separately if you want to turn it into a gas-fueled pizza oven. The Karu like most of the Ooni Pizza Ovens is multifueled.

Since you get a lot of cooking space inside the pizza oven, you can cook various dishes and even try out some new recipes.

The pizza oven heats up quickly and can bake a pie in under 60 minutes.

The oven is pretty amazing considering the different kinds of dishes that you can cook inside the pizza oven and the different possibilities.

The Karu weighs only 12 kgs which makes it a lightweight and portable pizza oven. It is a perfect pizza oven that you can carry along on your camping trips.

Pros-

1. It is a lightweight pizza oven that is easy to carry around and portable.

2. It comes with ample cooking space which means you can cook dishes apart from just pizzas inside the oven.

3. The heat retention on this pizza oven is amazing.

4. It is a multi-fueled pizza oven but it comes primarily as a wood-fired pizza oven.

5. You can cook multiple pizzas inside the oven without any issues.

Cons-

1. It comes with the wood burner and you need to order the gas burner separately.

4. Ooni 3 Pizza Oven

Ooni 3 Pizza oven was one of the best creations from Ooni, and it is an OG when it comes to portable outdoor pizza ovens. If you are interested in getting a lightweight pizza oven for your backyard, then Ooni 3 is perfect.

The pizza oven initially released as a wood-fired pizza oven and later on the gas burner was an addition making it a multi fueled pizza oven.

So, it can be used as a wood-fired pizza oven and a gas-fueled pizza oven at the same time.

For the price point, the Ooni 3 is the best outdoor pizza oven option out there.

Although having tried cooking pizzas with both the gas burner and the wood pellet burner, I have to say that cooking pizzas with wood as fuel was more convenient with this pizza oven.

The gas burner attachment that released later on, did not meet my expectations, and I think I would stick to using it as a wood-fired pizza oven, but you do have the option, and that in itself is an advantage.

The gas burner attachment comes separately as well, so you pay for it separately, and it does not come included with the Ooni Pizza Oven.

Pros-

1. The pizza oven is easy to assemble and easier to use once done.

2. You can use wood pellets as fuel or even wood or charcoal depending on the type of fuel available with you.

3. The best part about the oven is that you get your pizzas cooked in under a minute which is pretty quick.

4. The pizza is portable so you can carry it around if you are going camping or elsewhere.

5. The heat retention on the oven is pretty amazing, and it reaches the optimal cooking temperature quickly.

Cons

1. You need to be vigilant about the wood pellets while you are cooking with them as they burn out really quickly.

2. Installing the gas burner is a little tricky but still doable.

3. You can only cook pizzas with this oven because the opening of the oven is narrow.

5. Ooni Koda Pizza Oven

Ooni Koda Pizza Oven was the most recent release from the Ooni Pizza Oven makers, and I have to say that everything that the Ooni makers have released and beyond my expectations.

Their pizza ovens are light, easy to use, and very user-friendly. The same goes for this pizza oven. Ooni Koda is a small, compact, and portable countertop pizza oven.

It is a gas-fueled outdoor pizza oven that is pretty affordable and excellent quality.

When you start cooking with the Ooni Pizza Ovens, you would realize how they are of fantastic quality, and they cook pizzas under a minute.

Their claim of cooking a pizza under a minute is accurate, and that makes it really easy to use this pizza oven for pizza parties or even commercial use.

It is a perfect addition to your backyard, and if you have been looking for a pizza oven that would help you quickly cook pies without having to wait for the wood to burn, then the Koda comes to your rescue.

The pizza oven comes pre-assembled, so you do not need to do anything extra when it comes to assembling the setup. Ooni Koda is a perfect option for someone on a budget and has a look at the pros and cons of this oven.

6. Napoli Pizza Oven

Napoli Pizza Oven is pretty similar to the Ooni 3 Pizza oven, just that it is larger, and you get a little more space to cook anything inside this pizza oven.

The Napoli Pizza oven is all black in color, which is a little different from the metallic finish of the Ooni Pizza ovens.

The metallic finish on the Ooni Pizza Ovens might be okay initially, but when you start cooking with them, the silver finish soon turns black, which might not be aesthetically pleasing to many.

This problem is solved in the Napoli Pizza Oven, and you get a multifueled pizza oven for a lesser price than the Ooni Ovens.

Although there is a reason, I felt it should be placed after the Ooni ovens in the sequence, and the primary reason was picking the oven is the ease of cooking.

Cooking inside an Ooni Pizza Oven is much easier, and the Ooni features are way more amazing in comparison to Napoli. Now enough bragging about Ooni, the Napoli itself is a pretty fantastic pizza oven.

The Pizza oven costs around $250 and is a multi fueled pizza oven, what more could anyone ask for, this makes it our favorite budget model of all the pizza ovens that are mentioned in the list.

Pros

Guide to Buying the Perfect Outdoor Pizza Oven

There are so many factors that one should consider before buying a pizza oven and if you are buying an oven for the first time then this guide could be extremely helpful to you as you can easily pick the oven that is right for you.

1. Type of Fuel

Pizza ovens come with different fuel options, there are some pizza ovens that are multi-fueled and there are some pizza ovens that are single fueled.

Ooni Pizza Oven, Roccbox pizza ovens are examples of multi-fueled pizza ovens in the list. Similarly, a few pizza ovens can be either gas-fired pizza oven or wood-fired outdoor pizza oven.

You need to choose which one would you pick. The wood-fired pizza oven would give you a smoky flavor that you get when you cook something with wood as the fuel-making your pizzas taste authentic.

Overall, there is not much of a difference but if you are particular about making authentic Neopolitan pizzas then go with the wood-fired pizza ovens.

2. Heat Retention

Another important factor to consider before buying a pizza oven is the heat retention of the pizza oven.

You do not want to get a pizza oven that would get heated up to really high temperatures but then it would quickly lose some heat to the surroundings making it difficult to cook anything inside the pizza oven.

Since cooking a pizza requires really high temperatures it is important that the pizza oven retains heat. The pizza ovens that we recommend in the list above do retain heat pretty well.

But it is important that you do your research before you get a pizza oven otherwise you would end up constantly reheating your pizza oven after every pizza that you cook.

3. Size of the Pizza Oven

The SIze of the pizza oven can really matter especially if you have less space in your backyard. There are different pizza ovens of different sizes that we recommend in the list above, so you are definitely going to find something that would best suit your needs.

You have countertop portable pizza ovens that are really lightweight and easy to move around. Then you have countertop pizza ovens that are heavy to move around and you would need help to move them.

The last section would be large pizza ovens where you cannot move them without any help.

If you have a permanent residence then you can get these large pizza ovens, else there are so many really good options in the portable pizza ovens that I do not think you are missing out on anything.

The Ooni Pro is one of the best outdoor pizza ovens that is portable, has the best features and affordable.

4. Weight of the Pizza Ovens

Size really depends on how big the pizza oven is and how much space you need to keep it but the weight of the pizza oven determines if you can carry it alone and place it anywhere you want.

There are pizzas ovens that are light making them travel-friendly for a solo trip. Ooni Pizza ovens are light in weight and you can carry them around easily with you.

If you want something on the heavier side then go for the wood-fired pizza ovens.

5. Price of the Pizza Ovens

There are pizza ovens in the list with different price ranges. There are some of the best pizza ovens that just cost $500-600 and then there are some really high-end pizza ovens that cost thousands of dollars. If you just want a pizza oven to cook pizzas at home then you can choose anyone from the above list and it would get your job done.

If you are concerned about how the pizza oven would look with your decor or if you want something that resembles the pizza ovens in the restaurants then go for the high-end ones.

The High-end pizza ovens like the Chicago Brick Pizza Ovens come with a lot of cooking space and you can even use the pizza oven commercially.

The high-end pizza ovens would last you longer and are not going to be portable but they look gorgeous and if you have the moeny then you can go for it.

My point is that just because something is affordable does not mean it is lacking in features. So, choose according to your needs.

This was all about the best outdoor pizza ovens.

I hope this list is useful and you can easily choose the best pizza oven for yourself.
