How Much Does a Pizza Oven Cost?
Outdoor pizza ovens have boomed, and prices vary widely by type. Here's what you'll pay in the UK and what the extra money buys.
Quick answer
In the UK, a compact portable pizza oven typically costs around £100-£250 for a gas or wood-pellet model, £250-£500 for a larger or multi-fuel oven, and more for premium or built-in ovens. Small tabletop electric pizza ovens can be cheaper, and you'll want a peel and stone too.
Price by type
- Electric tabletop ovens - cheapest, for indoor or covered use.
- Portable gas or pellet ovens - roughly £100-£250; quick, convenient, popular for gardens.
- Multi-fuel and larger ovens - around £250-£500; wood and gas flexibility, bigger capacity.
- Built-in or premium ovens - several hundred pounds and up.
What affects the price
Fuel type (gas is convenient, wood gives flavour, multi-fuel costs more), size and build quality, insulation for heat retention, and brand all move the price. Factor in accessories - a pizza peel, turning peel and infrared thermometer make a real difference and add a little to the total.
