What is an Outdoor Pizza Oven?

An outdoor pizza oven is a novel take on a traditional method of making pizza, the iconic Italian pie known for its tomato sauce, cheese and toppings. Now, the dough can become a central focus for you when you make your own at home and bake in a dedicated oven.

• Pizza ovens are fairly compact, so you can set yours up on a table, designated station or stone surface you create just for the purpose.
• They're usually horizontally oriented with a door in the front of the oven, making it simple for you to place the pizza inside and then remove it once it is cooked, using a special paddle or other type pf spatula.
• Legs raise the oven, keeping its bottom surface lifted above the table or countertop for ventilation and safety when using it while it's hot.
• The heating method comes from either charcoal, gas or electricity, depending on which pizza oven you choose.

How to Set Up Your Oven for Outdoor Living

After selecting the outdoor pizza oven that's right for you and your family, start laying out an outdoor space where you'll make your pizzas.

• Certain pizza ovens were made to withstand the elements. In some homes, you'll be able to dedicate a space under a porch roof or covered patio. In other homes, you'll want to store the oven inside, either in a kitchen storage area or a clean area of your garage.
• Create a dining area complete with a dining table and chairs, plus outdoor serveware, a few accent tables or beautiful greenery in big statement planters or raised garden bed stands. That way, when you make pizza, there's a gathering spot for everyone to enjoy the evening's culinary creations.
