If you\u2019re looking for one of the <\/span>best pizza ovens<\/a> on the market right now, it\u2019s quite probable that you\u2019ve ended up seeing both the <\/span>Ooni (Uuni) Pro<\/a> and the <\/span>ROCCBOX<\/a>. They\u2019re both premium pizza ovens that offer multiple fuel sources, quick heat up times and insane maximum temperatures that allow you to cook incredible pizzas in just a couple of minutes. Well today we\u2019re going to do an ultimate comparison to finally answer whether the ROCCBOX or the Ooni Pro is the premium pizza that you should buy.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We\u2019ll first start with the ROCCBOX. This is the creation of Gozney, a British company that started by manufacturing commercial grade pizza ovens and have since added a pizza oven to their line-up for everyday pizza lovers \u2013 the ROCCBOX.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The ROCCBOX comes with a lot of high quality features that give it a premium price tag and is the main reason we\u2019re comparing it to the Ooni Pro.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the biggest selling points for the ROCCBOX is that it comes with dual fuel burners, a gas burner and a wood burner. This gives you the versatility of quick and easy and more authentic taste. We\u2019re big fans of going authentic and have even written quite extensively about different <\/span>woods used for smoking<\/a>, but having the option to go with a quick, high powered gas burner is a great feature to have.<\/span><\/p>\n Building on the last point, the gas burner (and even the wood burner) manage to get the pizza oven heated up and ready in just a few moments. When it\u2019s working at its peak, the ROCCBOX can get up to 500\u00b0C \/ 932\u00b0F in just 90 seconds! This is enough to cook a classic Neapolitan pizza in just 1 minute.<\/span><\/p>\n The size of the pizzas that the ROCCBOX can cook are around the 12 inch size. The cooking area is 315mm x 340mm which gives you just enough room to comfortably manage a 12 inch pizza.<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z0VnZzQ678w<\/a><\/p>\n Another feature of the ROCCBOX is the simple initial set up due to the design of the legs. This means it\u2019s virtually ready to use straight out of the box, all you have to do is attach the legs and the burner and it\u2019s ready to go. Both of these just twist and clip into place, it couldn\u2019t\u00a0<\/span>be much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n Continuing on with features of the structure of the ROCCBOX, it\u2019s made from aircraft grade stainless steel and comes with a stylish and aesthetically pleasing safe touch silicon jacket over the main oven area. This not only keeps the outside of the oven nice and cool, but it also helps to insulate the oven which gives you a quicker and more consistent cook. Great, all round feature.<\/span><\/p>\n This covers the main features but Gozney hasn\u2019t stopped there. They\u2019ve added some nice little extra features that just sweeten the deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One such feature is the stylish and convenient side mounted thermometer that gives an accurate reading of the oven temperature. We\u2019d always recommend using 3rd party thermometers just to be sure, for example <\/span>infrared thermometers<\/a> are perfect for pizza ovens. Also after a short while, you won\u2019t even need a thermometer. The best part of pizza oven cooking is going at it as simplistically as possible and learning to tell when the pizza is done by the site and smell! A much more rewarding and fun experience than waiting for a timer to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n The ROCCBOX is also available in multiple colors that can match your personality or help the new oven fit in with your garden.<\/span><\/p>\n Also included in the ROCCBOX pizza peel, a highly engineered peel that was built specifically for this oven and so works about as good as any peel we\u2019ve used.<\/span><\/p>\n Just to top all of this off, the ROCCBOX comes with a 5 year warranty so you know that you\u2019re in safe hands if you decide to buy this over the Ooni Pro.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As the ROCCBOX is made from a high grade stainless steel it can comfortably withstand the extreme temperatures that the burners generate. The base is made from a dense cordierite stone that manages to absorb heat quickly and keep a high temperature to help you get the ideal crispy bases on all your pizzas. There are very few negatives with the build quality, it really goes to show that Gozney have been doing this a while as they\u2019ve produced a superbly well made product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n I think one of the best aspects of the design is the simplicity of how it can be used, cleaned and then stored or transported. The folding legs create a naturally higher working environment, which helps controling your cook, but they also cleverly fold away in an instant to make the whole oven half the size and ready to pack away. The burners follow this same theme where they can be simply twisted to detach and then stored. This has to be one of the easiest to use pizza ovens available right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n With all things considered the ROCCBOX is a fantastic premium pizza oven that would make an ideal accessory to your garden and could help you show off to any guests with incredible pizzas. We love the design, both the looks and the practicality of the legs and changeable burners. The build quality is also another top selling point and as you can see from the photo from above that is very well made. And just to top it all off, the ROCCBOX comes with a 5 year warranty! You\u2019re not going to get much better\u2026 Or are you?<\/span><\/p>\n Check the latest price<\/a> on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Ooni (previously Uuni) is a pizza oven company that was launched on<\/span> Kickstarter<\/span><\/a> in 2012 and was met with huge success. The <\/span>Uuni 3<\/a> was one of the pioneering pizza oven models that helped bring simple to use, high effective outdoor ovens to the mainstream. The Ooni Pro is now their premium model and is one of our favorite pizza ovens we\u2019ve ever tried.<\/span><\/p>\n In a similar way to how the ROCCBOX was designed, the Ooni Pro has a unique take on the burner. It\u2019s currently able to run on charcoal and wood, providing much more versatility to your cooking and opening up the oven to a <\/span>charcoal<\/a> taste rather than just wood. In addition to this you can pick up a wood pellet burner, just like the Uuni 3 uses, at an extra cost. Ooni have also recently released a gas burner attachment that can turn your Ooni Pro into a fully working gas pizza oven, increasing the versatility even more and outdoing ROCCBOX in the burner department.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Ooni Pro is made from 430 stainless steel with a \u2018tripod\u2019 leg design and is completely insulated with ceramic fibre. A similar general design to the ROCCBOX.\u00a0 Seeing as it is technically transportable, it even has a \u2018security loop\u2019 \u2013 a unique feature which allows it to be secured to other garden furniture or a work surface. This can also be useful for protecting against unwanted movement when cooking. However, the portability of the Ooni Pro is nowhere near the same as the simple to transport ROCCBOX.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The cordierite baking stones that make up the cooking surface of the Ooni Pro can handle high temperatures very well and will give a great finish to the bottom of your pizzas. Cordierite is one of the best materials for baking stones as it\u2019s very thermally efficient and great at storing heat. To find out more about cordierite and baking stones, check out our guide to the<\/span> best baking stones<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the really nice design features of the Ooni Pro is the addition of two front doors. Both of these doors are completely removable and simply click in place. One comes with a small glass window, so you can see what is cooking inside. This door also has a built in thermometer. This is perfect for watching whatever it is you\u2019ve got inside the oven cook. The next door is a pizza oven door that has a letterbox style cut out perfect for sliding your pizzas in and out. Two very nice additional features that Ooni didn\u2019t have to include but I\u2019m very glad they did.<\/span><\/p>\n With the Ooni Pro you also get a good level of control over the temperature. There are dampers in the chimney that can be used to control the airflow and therefore the internal temperature. All very nice additions that make cooking on the Ooni Pro much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n Check out how the burner works and see what you can cook with the video below:<\/span><\/p>\nROCCBOX<\/b><\/h2>\n
