Few things in the world taste as good as pizza, especially if it comes from our favourite restaurants or takeaway joints. While you can cook up a pizza in a standard kitchen oven, it never tastes quite as good. And while we might think of traditional pizza ovens as massive, stone-made behemoths, that isn’t necessarily the case anymore. Portable pizza ovens are total game-changers, allowing you to cook restaurant-quality pizza in your backyard.
Here are our picks for the best portable ovens you can buy in Australia.

Cook Neapolitan-style pizza in 60 seconds with Roccbox, Gozney’s portable pizza oven. It’s gas-powered and super simple to use and engineered to replicate a true wood flame, reaching the perfect woodfire temperatures at the turn of a dial, so you can enjoy authentic-tasting pizza every time you cook. If you want an actual wood flame, you can grab a detachable wood burner.
You can read Lifehacker Australia’s full review of the Gozney Roccbox here, but in short, we were very impressed by it. Despite being put off by its considerable price tag, we felt that the flavour from that flame was “next-level” and was worth the investment.

If you’re looking for a smaller, more portable pizza oven, this one from MasterPro is a perfect choice. While the design of this particular oven is different to your more traditional-looking pizza ovens, it’s still equally as effective. It comes with a bottom element that heats the fixed ceramic baking stone to achieve an evenly cooked pizza base, while the top element simultaneously cooks the toppings without burning the cheese. The result: perfectly cooked pizza.

The Ooni Fyra is a lot like the Koda portable pizza oven, with some differences. It’s fuelled by wood pellets, so you’ll never have to chop up logs. You simply pour the pellets into the hopper, light it and off you go.
It heats up to around 500°C in just 15 minutes, meaning it can cook any kind of Neapolitan-style pizza in just 60 seconds. You’ll have to be on your game with this one, chef, and be sure to rotate the pizza every 20 to 25 seconds for a perfectly crispy crust. It’s also super portable, weighing in at just 10kg, so you can take it almost anywhere — camping, over to a mate’s place, the park — you name it.
