Ranked #6 in Best Pizza Ovens
Gozney Tread4.6
3 sources2 derived$499.99as of Sep 6The Gozney Tread is a genuinely hyper-portable propane pizza oven: under 30 pounds, with carry handles and almost no assembly. It heats fast and cools fast, which is what makes it workable at a campsite or a tailgate, and it gives up cooking area and stone thickness to get there. The 12-inch surface is unforgiving, the flame sits close to the food, and back-to-back pizzas need a pause. Buyers who put portability and speed first, and who will adapt their technique to a smaller, hotter oven, are the target.
Strengths
- — Extremely lightweight at just under 30 lbs, making it easy to carry and move on and off stands.
- — Heats up rapidly, reaching over 850°F in 15 minutes and up to 900-1000°F within 25 minutes.
- — Cools down quickly, with the exterior becoming safe to touch in about 20-25 minutes after use.
Watch-outs
- — The small cooking area offers little wiggle room, making it less forgiving and prone to burning if the pizza isn't rotated frequently.
- — The high heat intensity requires careful flame management, often necessitating turning the flame to low before launching to prevent toppings from catching fire.
