@Giles “chile” is how New Mexicans and Coloradans spell a green chili based on Anaheim-like chilis that grow out here. Yes it is confusing.

Spicy bum alert!

Kira wanted a pizza oven for Christmas, so I got her a Gozney Roccbox though somehow I still ended up doing the cooking
Doughballs made
Only got pics of 2/6 pizzas overall pretty good but know how to improve next time
We need to talk about that pizza oven @Alex ! I am eyeing for one for quite a while and am still unsure... was thinking about Ooni. Pizza looks great! Happy with the results? Nice Miso assortment in your fridge

Very happy afer one use - I did a lot of research on Ooni vs Gozney, and I fell for the Gozney. Their loyal community sort of reminded me of Iron Hear fans, in a very different way. I love how they have so many chef partners that do content for them becuase they love the ovens, not because they are paid, etc etc. I got the Roccbox because it is the entry level one, and we are learning a new thing, but the more expensive range are beautiful too. The Dome, for eg, if money was no object looks stunning IMO and is a great dual fuel outdoor oven. I also ate at a restaurant in London (FKABAM) the other day, and everything they serve is cooked in a custom Gozney Dome, and that pushed me over the edge.

Carne adobada, frijoles charros, Spanish rice.
Gotta make your chili powders fresh for the best results.

All this pizza talk inspired me to fire up the pizza oven on a cold winter night yesterday. Glad I did, all the pies hit the spot.

ravioli carbonara? They were delicious!

@Brodie pizzas look great.
@flannel-slut ravioli carbonara looks excellent. -
@Chap - I was discussing this conundrum at the weekend with my nephew - at least in terms of the smaller ovens.
For the record I have a gas Ooni.
My brother has a wood/pellet Ooni, but my nephew was recently gifted a gas Gozney, so he has used both a fair bit.
His thoughts were 1) that having the gas option is so much more flexible/convenient compared to needing to feed and maintain the fire, as authentic as that option may be, but when the pizza cooks so quickly, the source of the flame has negligible impact on the end product (his view), and 2) that the Roccbox has a thicker stone and therefore takes longer to heat up but then maintains the heat better so that you have less wait time (for reheating) between pizzas.
His preference was that the Gozney was the better option for his circumstances.
Your purchasing options may also be swayed by thoughts on pizza sizes - this may be determined by whether you are cooking 1 per person or producing pizzas to share, for instance. My oven is for 12” - I think the larger option gives you more flexibility and longevity, and I would go that route if I was buying again.
YMMV, just try to consider how you’ll use it.
