PIZZELLO 12" Propane and Wood Fired Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven with Gas Burner (Black) Review (2026)

Two fuel options in one oven

This is a multi-fuel pizza oven, meaning it ships with both a gas burner for propane and a separate wood burner, so the same oven can run on whichever fuel is more convenient at the time. Propane is the faster, more predictable option for a backyard cook, while the wood burner is there for anyone who wants a smokier, wood-fired flavor without needing a dedicated wood oven. Having both built in from the start, rather than needing an add-on kit, is the main selling point over single-fuel ovens at a similar size, and it is useful for camping trips where propane may be the only practical fuel on hand.

Heat output and cook times

The manufacturer states the oven can reach around 750 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough to cook a pizza in roughly 60 seconds once it is fully preheated, which is in line with how most compact outdoor pizza ovens are marketed. Reaching that temperature takes some preheating time, generally in the range of about 20 minutes based on the manufacturer's own figures, before the stone is hot enough for a fast cook. That kind of heat is what gives outdoor pizza ovens their characteristic charred crust and quick cook time compared to a home kitchen oven, which tops out far lower and takes many minutes per pie.

Construction and included accessories

The oven body is stainless steel with double-wall insulation, which the manufacturer says helps hold heat evenly across the cooking chamber rather than losing it quickly to the outside air. It ships with a 12 inch cordierite pizza stone, a pizza peel for loading and turning pizzas, a wood tray for the wood-burning option, a carry bag, and a gas hose for the propane burner. Folding legs and a removable chimney are built in for transport, which keeps the packed size smaller than the assembled cooking height suggests, useful for anyone taking this along to a campsite rather than leaving it permanently on a patio.

Where the compact size limits it

At 12 inches, the stone and cooking chamber are sized for personal to small pizzas rather than the larger pies a bigger wood-fired oven can handle, so anyone regularly feeding a large group may find themselves cooking multiple smaller pizzas in sequence rather than one large one. This is a tradeoff most compact ovens in this price range share, trading maximum pizza size for portability and a lower cost of entry. Build quality at this size and price point is also generally lighter than premium, larger ovens, so it may not hold heat quite as consistently over a long cooking session as a heavier, insulated oven built for daily use.

Who this oven suits

This is a reasonable choice for someone who wants to try wood-fired or fast propane pizza cooking without committing to a large, expensive built-in oven, and who values the flexibility of switching fuels depending on the situation. The included accessories cover what is needed to start cooking pizza right away, from peel to stone to carry bag, without buying extras separately. Buyers who regularly cook for larger groups, or who want the most consistent heat retention for frequent use, should look at a larger or more heavily insulated oven, since the 12 inch size and lighter build are built around portability rather than maximum capacity.
