Common questions
What type of pizza oven is best for beginners?
A gas-fired portable oven is the easiest start. It heats in about 15-20 minutes, holds temperature steadily and lets you focus on dough and launching rather than managing a fire.
Can you use an outdoor pizza oven on a balcony?
Only if your building and local fire rules allow it. Many apartments ban open flame and gas appliances on balconies, so check first and keep clear space around the oven.
