How to choose a pizza oven: is an electric or wood oven better?
As you well know, a wood oven represents a considerable commitment both from the economic point of view for the initial investment and from the point of view of maintenance and the necessary space.
On the other hand, an electric oven can be much smaller and can only be taken out when needed. The result in both ovens is excellent, but in the electric oven, everything depends on the temperature it can reach inside.
How to choose a pizza oven: which format to choose?
Decide which shape you prefer. Essentially as regards the electric models, you will find two types. Domed or classic. The domed models are somewhat reminiscent of wood-fired models. They can more effectively emulate the latter’s type of cooking by the presence of a refractory stone, very often the soapstone.
They are more inconvenient since, in most cases, they can only cook one pizza at a time. Also, it is usually an element that, due to its size, and appearance is difficult to place permanently as a piece of furniture, unlike the classic model, which actually retains a normal oven’s appearance.
How to choose a pizza oven: What price range?
For a good pizza oven linked to traditional home use, you can settle on a budget more or less equal to 100 euros. Otherwise, if you plan to use it more intensively, you can invest more. In this case, we recommend the classic oven-style shape rather than the dome one. Also, pay attention to the details, specifically the composition. That is if the oven is set up in such a way as to make cleaning easy or not.
Also, please pay attention to the accessories as it is strongly recommended for domed models to have a fairly long steel shovel, similar to those used in a pizzeria. You will almost certainly have to buy one separately as you will usually find two small wooden pallets in the package.
