Our verdict
The Gozney Arc Lite is our top pick for most people. This compact, 12kg gas-powered oven combines beautiful build quality with genuinely restaurant-level performance, reaching a searing 500°C in around 30 minutes. Its clever lateral flame rolls across the roof of the oven for wonderfully even heat, meaning fewer half-burnt, half-raw pizzas.
It comfortably fits a 14-inch pizza and the wide mouth makes launching and turning easy for beginners. While it lacks a built-in thermometer, the Arc Lite's consistency, gorgeous design and rapid recovery between bakes make it the oven we'd recommend to almost anyone serious about home pizza.
