Our new gas fired Pizza Nevo oven has totally changed the experience - even though the dough is the same, the taste is completely different - chewy crust and lovely 'spotted' dough.

Make the pizza dough: Follow the Best Pizza Dough or Thin Crust Dough recipe to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.) Or use one of the alternate dough methods.* Perhaps only recomendation would be to bring the gas burner controller knob to the front so the suer can adjust the flame easily while cooking the pizza (flame up between pizzas, flame down when cooking it to not burn the crust). Insulation is OK but still one gets skin burns if touch the outside part by mistake.The traditional and most popular type. They require the most patience and skill, as they usually take longer to get up to temperature than gas, and need almost constant attention to get the flames to the right size and consistency. They do, however, usually produce the tastiest pizza, as the wood smoke infuses additional flavours into the crust and base. They often take up a lot of kitchen counter space, though, and cooking at such high temperatures can still have smoky results and be problematic when cooking indoors. Outdoor pizza ovens are usually made with a stainless steel exterior and stone interior. However, this will vary depending on the heating source. Since most follow this similar pattern, consider size, texture, and shape. 6. Pricing

Enjoy pizza anywhere and any way you want it with this transportable oven. Handmade in Yorkshire, it’s one of the most beautiful ovens out there. When we put this pizza oven to the test it impressed us with its beautiful exterior and sturdy design. Heating the oven was easy, we just made a jenga-style tower of wood and lit it before leaving it for about half an hour to come to the desired temperature of 450°C. This budget-friendly oven earned a perfect score from our most discerning reviewer, Helen McCue, a feat that is not easy to do.She thinks that this pizza oven is 'great if you enjoy wood-fired pizza as well as the challenge of mastering the techniques of pizza making, you’ll have an absolute blast creating pizzas for everyone who comes to visit.'

You'll also likely find that a BBQ pizza oven is a slower cook than other oven types. It won't cook pizzas in 90 seconds flat like some freestanding ovens do, and because the heat source is below the pizza stone, the stone is often much hotter than the rest of the oven. In each pizza oven, we cook three of the most popular types of pizza – margherita, pepperoni and veggie – to see what results we get when cooking with a variety of textures and flavours.

Pizza cutter A good pizza cutter is key for slicing up and serving your pizza. The larger the circular blade, the better. This prevents the pizza cutter from moving your toppings around and makes it easier to cut through extra-puffy pizza crusts. We've put outdoor pizza ovens, BBQ pizza ovens and even electric pizza ovens from brands such as Gozney, La Hacienda, Ooni, Sage and more through our tough tests to find out which will take your recipes to the next level.

Make the pizza sauce: Peel and cut the garlic into a few rough pieces. Place the garlic, fire roasted tomatoes, olive oil, oregano and kosher salt in a blender. Blend until fully combined. (You’ll use about ⅓ cup for the pizza; reserve the remaining sauce and refrigerate for up to 1 week.) Cost aside, we loved using this oven to cook pizzas in our at-home, each of which came out perfectly. Other foods that went down a storm included steaks and roasted vegetables such as sweetcorn. It's a pricey buy, but if you're looking for an upgrade on your existing oven, the Gozney Dome is the oven you'll want. Accessories: take a look at which accessories your chosen pizza oven comes with. In our eyes, a pizza peel is an essential, but some brands don't provide these as standard, and this will be an additional cost. The Ooni Fyra is a five-star buy for many reasons, and an easy winner of the title of the best pizza oven. The first is that a wood-fired pizza oven is generally going to be the most affordable option in terms of initial outlay, and, as a rule, wood is a cheaper – and potentially more environmentally friendly – fuel type when compared to gas.The size will also be a reflection of the capacity. Some ovens fit up to 3 pizzas while others can only cook one at a time. The benefit, however, is that ovens like the Ooni Karu can cook pizza in a matter of seconds (60 seconds to be exact). This means no one will be left waiting.
