Bertello Grande vs Gozney Roccbox (2026): Which Should You Buy?
Two very different routes to backyard pizza. The Bertello Grande is the bigger oven, a 16-inch, multi-fuel deck that runs gas and wood (or both, via SimulFIRE), fits a true large pie, and lands at $549.

Explainer
Are Gozney Pizza Ovens Worth It? (2026): An Honest Verdict
Short version: yes, if you value build quality and design and you'll pay a premium for them. Gozney makes some of the best-built, best-insulated ovens in the category, every one of them hits the ~950°F floor that defines a true 60-second Neapolitan pie, and they look the part on a patio. The catch is price: model for model, Gozney costs more than Ooni for the same peak heat, the lineup is smaller, and the showpiece Dome is a serious install. Here's where Gozney earns the premium, where it doesn't, which model fits which person, and who's better served by Ooni or Solo Stove instead.
