Overview
The Pizzello 16 inch is a dual fuel outdoor pizza oven that runs on propane or wood pellets, built with double walled insulated stainless steel and a 16 inch stone, peel, and carry bag included.
Owners who have used it describe a real learning curve on the wood side, where too many pellets at once can leave an off flavor, while propane lights and holds temperature more predictably. A cold stone placed directly into an already hot oven is the common cause of cracking, so preheating the stone along with the oven matters regardless of which fuel is used.
- Dual fuel propane and wood burners
- Reaches about 752F in 25-30 minutes
- 16 inch capacity fits full-size pizzas
- Includes stone, peel, cutter, pellet scoop, and carry bag
Who it's for
Backyard cooks who want the flexibility of both propane and wood-fired cooking in one oven and are willing to spend a session or two learning the wood side. Not for buyers who want a maintenance-free purchase, since some owners describe slow support when parts failed.
Pros and cons
- Heavy, solid stainless build per owners
- Cooks quickly once fully preheated
- Propane side lights and holds temperature more predictably than wood
- Includes stone, peel, cutter, pellet scoop, and carry bag
Performance notes
The oven reaches roughly 752F in 25 to 30 minutes and cooks a pizza in about 60 seconds once hot, with double walled stainless steel and insulation cotton between the walls evening out heat. Folding legs and a detachable chimney with a carry bag make it portable for tailgating or camping.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Pizzello 16 inch run on both propane and wood?
Yes, it has dual burners so you can switch between a propane burner and a wood or pellet burner.
How long does the Pizzello 16 inch take to heat up?
About 25 to 30 minutes to reach roughly 752F, with pizzas cooking in about 60 seconds once the oven is hot.
Why did my Pizzello pizza stone crack?
Owners report this happens when a cold stone is placed into an oven that is already hot, so the stone should heat up gradually along with the oven from a cold start.
