How we make money (the honest version).

What those /go links are

When you click a "check price" or product link on Pizza Oven Review, it routes through a /goredirect on our own domain. Some of those links are affiliate links — to Amazon and, where a brand runs its own program, direct to the manufacturer. If you buy after clicking, the retailer pays us a commission. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. The price you pay is identical either way; the commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket. That commission funds the research, the data work, and the writing.

Verdicts come first. Money comes after.

Rankings are set on the merits — peak floor temperature, time-to-temp, the bake itself, heat recovery, build quality, and value — beforeanyone checks whether a product has an affiliate program. The order doesn't change afterward. If the best oven on a list earns us nothing, it stays at the top.

• A brand cannot buy a ranking, a "Best Overall" badge, or a softer review. Not for any amount.
• We don't accept sponsored verdicts or paid placements, and we don't run "advertorial" reviews.
• A test unit doesn't buy anything either — an oven we bought and an oven we were sent are scored the same way.
• If our verdict and our wallet ever disagree, the verdict wins. That's the whole business model: being worth trusting twice.

The methodology behind every verdict is published in full at how we test.

The Oven Finder, too

Our matching tool recommends from the same tested catalog as our reviews — ovens that cleared the same fire-and-clock bar. Its results may include affiliate links, and the same rule applies: your answers pick the ovens, not the payout.

The serious notes

• Live fire and high heat. Pizza ovens routinely reach 700–950°F and run on propane, wood, or electricity. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions, keep a clear non-combustible zone, never leave a lit oven unattended, and let it cool fully before moving or storing it.
• Specs are a mix of measured and stated. Where a temperature is the manufacturer's claimed maximum rather than one we clocked ourselves, we say so. Real-world results vary with weather, fuel, and technique.
• Prices change. We list MSRP or the going price at the time of writing; the "check price" link always shows the current number.
