This Compact Pizza Oven is the Secret to Unlocking Restaurant-Worthy Pizzas at Home

Posted on by

Compact enough to easily fit even in the tiniest of backyards, the Gozney Arc isn’t a pizza oven as much as it’s a portal straight to Naples. With a unique design that combines high-end material, immaculate engineering, and a series of game-changing innovations, the Gozney Arc sets a new standard for creating epic pizza at home.

The Arc gets its name from the way its evolutionary lateral gas burner creates a yellow flame that rolls and arcs over the internal chamber of the oven, mimicking that of a wood fire seen in many traditional restaurant pizza ovens. The innovative burner design unlocks valuable floor space meaning the oven is compact on the outside but big on the inside whilst providing unparalleled heat consistency and precise control. This, creator and founder Tom Gozney mentions, makes it easier than ever to bake the perfect pizza no matter your skill level Just like a restaurant pizza oven, Arcs reaches temperatures upwards of 950°F (500°C), well beyond what your regular home oven is capable of so you can cook a pizza in as little as 60 seconds…. if you’ve tried baking a restaurant-style Neapolitan or even New York pizza in your home oven (with a pizza stone or steel), you know that it just doesn’t taste the same. The lower temperatures of home ovens mean the pizza dough takes longer to cook, and instead of charring on the surface, it dries out through and through, giving you a bread-like consistency, not the airy, charred crust you’d get in a restaurant.

Arc XL + Arc bring Gozney’s renowned design ethos into a sleek form that’s compact outside yet big on cooking space inside.

That’s where a device like the Arc comes in. Designed to distill the performance of a restaurant oven into something more accessible so you can churn out 14 or 16-inch pizzas that taste just like something you’d get at your favorite pizza place. It’s tricky scaling down all those thermals and design principles but that’s what the Arc’s engineering is all about. It has a 20mm stone floor and thick layers of insulation that provide unbeatable heat retention and consistency. This helps the pizza oven get hot and stay hot, allowing you to get a consistent bake, pizza after pizza. However, don’t just limit yourself to pizza with this oven, with the Arc you can create calzones, focaccias, grilled fish, roasted veggies, seared meats, and other dishes that benefit from high, searing, scaling down an hour’s worth of cooking to mere minutes.

With a revolutionary lateral gas burner, unbeatable heat retention, and precision temperature control – all for distributing high heat evenly and consistently – creating epic pizza has never been easier.

It isn’t just the fact that the Arc is smaller that makes it the perfect partner for your outdoor cooking adventures – it’s smarter too, with innovative features that make the entire process highly intuitive and easy for home cooks. Temperature control is key to achieving perfect results with any oven, and the Arc is no exception. With features like a digital temperature display that alerts you when the oven has hit the perfect stone floor temperature of your favorite pizza styles and an intuitive, precise temperature control the Arc lets home cooks make pizzas with more confidence and less trial-and-error.

The Arc is available in two sizes with the smaller oven having a base big enough for a medium 14″ pizza, and the Arc XL is able to make a large 16″ pizza for everyone to dig into. To ensure you have everything to need, Gozney has also designed a range of pioneering accessories from a handy outdoor stand for the pizza oven, with fold-out side tables and a dedicated spot for a propane tank underneath to a new range of peels so you can launch, rotate and serve your pizzas with ease.

With the Arc, you don’t need to be a professional pizza guru, have working knowledge of wood-fired ovens or stress about fluctuating temperatures or uneven cooking to make the restaurant-worthy pizzas at home. What’s not to love? Bring on the pizza parties.

Pizza Oven or Party Prop? This quirky Disco Ball Pizza Oven adds Glam and Gluten to your kitchen!

Marcus Cresswell’s mirror-studded Disco Ball Pizza Oven drops the beat while raising the crust!

I’m not sure if I love this oven more than the pizza going inside it, but Cresswell’s disco ball-shaped pizza-maker definitely has my attention. Standing at 5.7 feet tall and measuring 3.6 feet wide, the pizza oven rotates independently on its base like a disco ball would, and comes studded with over 34,000 tiny hand-fitted mirror units that give this oven its signature style. The inside features a stone core with a cordierite cooking base that lets the oven hit temperatures of 400°C (752°F), allowing it to cook a perfect Neapolitan-style pizza in under 90 seconds. Gluten never looked this glamorous!

Designer: Marcus Cresswell

While most pizza ovens are built for utility, Cresswell’s “Discovens” has an appearance that’s almost jewel-like. The spherical pizza oven stands on a stable platform that also allows it to independently rotate 360°, giving the 34,000 mirrors on its surface a chance to reflect light in unique ways. The disco ball also cooks pizzas, breads, and other sorts of baked dishes in under a few minutes thanks to its ripping-hot temperatures.

The oven features a stone core and comes with a cordierite base that helps it reach temperatures higher than ceramics. Quite like traditional wood-fired ovens seen in Italy and around the world, the ‘Discovens’ can hit high temperatures of 750°F in just under 20 minutes, allowing it to cook pizzas and other breads at incredibly high speeds to develop that beautiful crispy burnt outer crust while the insides still remain incredibly soft and flavorful.

Developed over a period of 3 years, Cresswell’s made 5 prototypes of the Discovens that have gone to their respective patrons and pizzaiolos. The pizza oven comes pre-assembled, and accepts wood as fuel to cook your pizza pie. “A lot of research went into the shape of the stone core oven; for air flow (diameter, length and position of the flue, and size, length and shape of oven mouth, for the best air draw), and ratio of air flow and oven size (using fibonacci sequence) for best functionality,” Cresswell mentions. The oven takes 20-25 minutes to heat up to a working temperature range of 350-400°C, and roughly 4-6 hours to cool down. While the mirrors look incredibly eye-catching, it’s professionally recommended that children stay away from the oven while it’s in use. Each oven also comes with an insulating door for controlled-temperature cooking, letting you slow-cook skillets and steak meals.

The Discovens Pizza Oven is a Bronze Winner of the A’ Design Award for the year 2023.

Ooni’s electric pizza oven lets you get the perfect New York slice right in your own kitchen

Posted on by

The electric version of Ooni’s wildly successful series of pizza ovens lets you make incredibly authentic New York and Neapolitan-style pizza pies without needing to build a massive brick oven. The Volt 12 is a compact, kitchen-and-outdoor-friendly oven that reaches ripping temperatures of up to 850°F (450°C), allowing you to bake the perfect pizza in under 90 seconds, just like your favorite pizzeria.

Unlike Ooni’s other pizza ovens, the Volt doesn’t need firewood or gas to heat up. This upgrade to electrical heating significantly reduces the pizza oven’s overall footprint, allowing it to be as compact as the Volt 12 is. About as wide and deep as your regular oven (but half as tall, given how pizzas are usually flat), the Volt 12 sits anywhere inside or outside your house. Coils on the top and bottom of the oven let it heat up to the high temperatures required to rapidly cook pizza dough, giving them a great crust on the outside but keeping them soft and pillowy on the inside, and a 13-inch cordierite baking stone gives your pizza its signature browned base – a feature that any chef will tell you is the difference between a decent and a legendary pizza. And no, we’re not getting into the whole pineapple-on-pizza debate here.

Designer: Ooni

The Volt 12 captivates you with its slick design that fits an entire pizzeria into its tiny, 10-inch-tall frame. The Volt 12 comes with an incredibly sleek powder-coated outer surface, and a triple-paned borosilicate glass door that retains heat within the oven, but gives you a clear picture of what’s inside so you don’t ever accidentally burn your crust. A 13-inch stone on the inside is the perfect size for a nice 12-inch pizza, which you can cook in a variety of styles, thanks to the Volt 12’s intuitive set of controls.

The Volt 12 comes with three knobs, one for timing, another for temperature, and a third to toggle the power between the lower and upper coils. Combined, the three controls give you the ability to make more than just your conventional pizza. The Volt 12 lets you cook other styles too, including thin-crusts, deep-dishes, Detroit-style pizzas, garlic breads, and the occasional focaccia. Heck, you can use the pizza oven to grill veggies, roast steaks, and even make desserts. The Volt 12 heats up to its highest temperatures in under 20 minutes, making it faster than conventional pizza ovens that take time to get to temp, and after 45 minutes of inactivity, the Volt 12 will automatically switch off to help save electricity.

The all-electric Volt 12 may just be Ooni’s first clean-energy pizza oven. Given that it can plug into a power outlet, the Volt is suddenly a perfect pick for the indoors, offering a major deviation from other gas and wood-powered ovens that can only be used outdoors or in large, ventilated spaces. The Ooni Volt fits any standard kitchen countertop, and given its compact size, can even be carried around, letting you set up your portable pizzeria anywhere you go… because it’s always pizza-o’clock somewhere!

Wood-fired portable outdoor oven with a rotating base + stove is every pizza lover’s dream!

Posted on by

Woodfire pizza’s not just for the pizzaiolo (that’s pizza maker in Italian) anymore and it’s a good thing because the frozen pizza I’ve been eating in quarantine just doesn’t quite hit the spot like Nonno’s homemade pizza. We’ve got QubeStove to thank for both designing and producing their latest portable, 2-in-1 rotating pizza oven, and stove. There’s a lot to cover, so be sure to save some room for s’mores.

QubeStove’s new rotating pizza oven dons a heavy gauge stainless steel coat that shines with all the possibilities of different pizza pies. The heavy gauge stainless steel looks clean and packs a punch, but it also establishes the oven’s long-lasting durability and ability to retain a lot of heat (that’s upwards of 1,000℉). A high-temperature, ceramic glass door both allows users to check on their food without opening the oven and covers the woodfire, inner mechanics. Once the oven’s hot enough and after you’ve decided on your pizza toppings, garlic marinara, cheddar cheese, seared pineapple (maybe), some fresh basil, you can slide it right onto the oven’s rotating pizza stone and watch the magic happen. In just under ten minutes, QubeStove can reach temperatures upwards of 1,060℉, which users can conveniently check on the oven’s built-in thermometer, and then it’ll be just 90 seconds until pizza night. Fortunately, making crispy, well-cooked pizza will be just as easy as clean up.

One of QubeStove’s core elements is its portability and simple deconstruction. By folding the oven’s legs, QubeStove downsizes into a portable, handheld stove that you can carry with you anywhere. Of course, this simplifies storing QubeStove for the nights spent indoors and also packing it up for camping trips or pool parties. Once everyone’s almost-13” pizza pies are fully cooked and ready to eat, QubeStove makes it easy to transform the oven into a stove so that you can bring it over to the fire pit to enjoy your pizza creations fireside. QubeStove operates through the burning of wood pellets. Inside QubeStove’s chimney, you’ll find the fire-making mechanism that makes it all work. Once the oven is ignited, wood pellets catch fire on top of an iron grate that’s just above a pocket of airflow, which provides just enough oxygen to maintain the fire’s intensity and an ashtray that collects the fire’s debris all while your pizza rotates and burns evenly.

In addition to the 2-in-1 feature of QubeStove, it’s multi-functionality doesn’t stop there. The creators behind QubeStove recognized the versatility in how many dishes can be made using either the oven or the stove. The truth is, it’s up to the user to decide. Whether you’re in the mood for stir-fry, chili, an omelet, or just some good-old pizza, with QubeStove, the possibilities are as endless as your imagination, so keep the s’mores coming.

Barbeque in the summer, stay warm in the winter with this grungy 4-in-1 concrete grill

Posted on by

With the onset of autumn, barbeque season is at its peak! But with winter barely around the corner, I’m sure we all want to get our stomach’s worth of grilling done before the cold truly sets in, and it seems like the Brazilian brand Noori has decided to give us a helping hand.  If you’ve been tempted to treat yourself to an updated version of your old BBQ grill, well then hold your horses because Noori’s multipurpose stove, the V01 model will do it all for you. It functions not only as a rocket stove but as a barbeque, pizza oven, and fire pit. From ribs, burgers, hot dogs to wood-fired pizza, the V01 functions as a versatile cooker for all occasions. The inspiration behind the product was to take us to a time when “cooking with fire was at the core of our rituals”.

Designer: Noori

Contemporary, compact and easily portable the V01 comprises a rounded bullet-like body modeled from heat- resistant refractory concrete. An L-shape enamel pipe transports the fuel through the body of the stove to the grilling surface. The multipurpose stove optimizes the combustion of fuel, allowing us to completely skip out on the unwanted smoke that slithers out during the cooking process. The base consists of wheels, allowing us to easily transport, store and arrange the stove depending on the occasion and the location.  “The goal was to design a product where a ragu, a feijoada, a pasta, a pizza, grilled vegetables, and meat could be prepared,” Eduardo Gayotto, the designer behind Noori added. “We wanted to break with the limitations of a standard barbecue.” And as we can see the featured highlight 0f V01 remains it’s modularity.

Noori can be used as a permaculture vertical ‘Rocket Stove’. The wood-burning stove, aided with its ability to ensure complete fuel combustion, can be used to cook various recipes with diverse cooking utensils such as pans, casseroles and other stovetop dishes.

However, you can amp up your cooking sessions by adding charcoal to the mix or by simply combining wood and charcoal, which transforms the stove into a ‘Churrasqueira’ or a BBQ Grill. A lid with a built-in temperature gauge can be used to prepare smoked food. A blend of different woods can be used to enhance the flavor of the food while it sears on the grate.

Probably my favorite use of the Noori V01 is that it functions as a pizza oven! Traditional wood pizza ovens can be bulky and cumbersome, and not something we can easily place in our homes, hence the portable Noori is sure to be a fan favorite!  It comes along with a Noori pizza disk, which can be used to prepare a pizza in about 4 minutes. You discard the central element and place the pizza disk on the stovetop, which can heat up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit, depending upon how much wood you use as fuel.

And of course last but not the least, it serves as a wood fire pit, warming up even the coldest of days. It can burn both wood and charcoal. The complete refractory body can be used to burn wood, whereas the toned-down version involving only the burner functions as a charcoal burner.

A 4 in 1 grill with good looks and easy portability to fall back upon? I think I know what I for Christmas this year!
