I've got a Gozney Roccbox (gas) and it's banging. Would have got the ooni but they had a World Pizza Day offer on the roccbox that was too good to turn down. Gas is the way forward. So much easier than having to manage a wood fire (and this is speaking as someone who has got rid of their gas BBQ and grills exclusively on charcoal).
There's lots of stuff you can make at home just as well as a restaurant can. Pizza is not one of them. And buying a special oven and fooking about with sour dough for 5 days to create something substandard and the mental gymnastics to convince yourself it's just as good as a decent local pizzeria. Lol
Just delighted to hear how Roger's £400 little gas oven makes pizzas better than any pizzas in the entire UK. Because he's highly skilled and the people who do this daily are low skilled. They probably went to bad universities.
heh some friends bought one of these (gas) and the husband took it VERY seriously and went to massive effort with making the dough etc.
He had about 15 of us around for a pizza party and we duly stood around for fvcking hours while he cooked pizza after pizza. Eating one small slice per person each time (the oven was smallish) trying to pretend it tasted better than pizza from the local pizzeria (it didn't. I mean it was OK, but really not any better than the quite good pizzeria up the road) as the kids got more and more hungry and fractious. Fvcking pointless.
He also didn't like it when I mentioned in passing (by this stage quite drunk on red wine having eaten about 3 small slices of pizza all afternoon) that Ooni sounded less like an oven and more like a massage device Gwynneth Paltro would be flogging to women too shy to buy a proper vibrator.
I've got a clay oven in the garden. It's fine. Probably better for someone who wants to eat pizza more regularly than I do tbh and only useful in summer. If I'm motivated enough be faffed with the pizza oven I'd probably rather get the BBQ out.
Have had an identical party experience to Donny’s as it goes. It was decent pizza tbf but maybe don’t try and feed 15 kids and 40 adults with it. His plan was everyone made their own but it just meant all the kids burnt their hands and the adults couldn’t be arsed.
For his birthday a pal hired a mobile pizza wagon to stand in his driveway for 2 hours and you just put your order in, and then it would be called for you when ready.
the reason I favour a self build clay one (my mate has done this) is you can make them much bigger than an ooni. Oonis look great, but they also look small. My mate’s can take a 14incher
Roger's pizzas probably are as good if not better than what you would get at the average UK pizza place.
One of the reasons for this is that he's cooking his own dinner and is likely to take more care than whichever spotty faced youth has drawn the short straw at Guiseppe's on any given night.
Another reason is that once you've got the hang of it it's really not that hard.
But you have to accept that you're probably going to be the only person to bother getting the hang of it so of you want to have a pizza party just fore them out one by one and have someone help you cut them up and put them out. Given that it only takes 90 seconds to cook onez there's no reason to not be able to shove one out every three minutes.

Making good pizza isn't hard FFS. That's why it's a low skilled job and anyone with a hot enough oven can do
My pizzas are better /as good than any you can buy in the uk

Good point Donny.
Dad gets hot and bothered all afternoon and if you have more than 4 folks round, it just doesn’t work.
Anyhow, a pizza party, unless it’s for the kids, sounds a pretty grim affair.

That's fair Donny and the bloke who did that is moronic
We do kids who share one and then we share 2. Shame we can't all eat at once
Making dough is not a massive effort though
