5 Reasons why Portable Pizza Ovens are the best Garden Investment…

1. Nothing Beats Authentic Pizza

We alluded to it above, but it’s important to stress the point that nothing outside a traditional pizzeria gets close to the taste of authentic wood fired pizza – until now. Of course, you can order in a takeaway, but often by the time it gets to you, it’s lukewarm at best, the cheese is all congealed, and the toppings are all at one end of the box!

What makes these portable pizza ovens so mighty impressive is the temperatures they can quickly reach. They can reach around 500°C in as little as 20 minutes. This high heat is what creates that signature taste. It allows the pizzas to cook in as little as 60 seconds. Yes, you read that right! 60 seconds!

2. Small but Mighty

They say the best things come in small packages. Well, this couldn’t be more true for portable pizza ovens. With the Igneus Minimo weighing 15kg, the Ooni Fyra a mere 10kg and the Gozney Roccbox just under 20kg, they are easy to pack into the back of the car.

However, being this lightweight and small doesn’t mean they don’t pack a punch. They reach the incredible temperatures needed to create authentic Neapolitan pizza super quickly, owing mainly to the oven size being there isn’t tonnes of space to heat up, as well as the high quality insultation that does its job of retaining the heat in the oven.

This is key as you don’t have to wait for the oven to heat up again between each pizza.

3. Versatile Beyond Belief

Portable Pizza Ovens tend to be a ‘first pizza oven’ for many people, owing largely to the entry level prices. One of the things that people are most surprised to learn, is the immense versatility of these little ovens. They’re of course called pizza ovens; however they really are for so much more. If you’re away on a camping trip, you’re likely to want to have more to eat the just pizza. Portable pizza ovens are your perfect cooking companion, as they can be used for anything

from steak, burgers, roasted fish, roasted vegetables, baked potatoes, and chilli con carne to name just a few. They can even be used to cook breakfast. All you need to a decent set of cast iron pans and you’re good to go!

4. Super Easy to Use

Whether you opt for a gas fired or wood fired portable pizza oven, both are super easy to set up and use. If you’ve never cooked on a pizza oven before, you’ll likely be a little apprehensive. However, we promise these feelings will disappear almost as quickly as you launch your first pizza.

They really are that easy to operate. There’s also so much content available online, on YouTube, as well as on own social media channels which demos different techniques and even troubleshoots any possible issues you might run into along the way.

5. Social, Safe and Fun

Cooking outdoors, whether that be in your own back garden, at the beach or on a camping trip, is a social and most of all fun experience. You’re likely to be surrounded by friends and family and having a great time, all the while dishing out incredible food from your portable pizza oven.

That is the main thing we try and get across to our customers, these things are FUN to use, and really do bring a social element to your gatherings as you can get everyone involved with making their own pizzas and choosing their own toppings.
