Our full review

The Gozney Arc is a gas-powered pizza oven built for anyone who wants restaurant-quality Neapolitan pies without the hassle of tending wood or charcoal. Its signature rolling flame technology draws fire from the back of the oven and curls it forward across the roof of the dome, bathing the entire cooking chamber in even, radiant heat. This design solves one of the most common frustrations home pizza makers face: hot spots and uneven cooking. With the Arc, the flame moves independently of the pizza, meaning you can rotate your dough without dodging fire, achieving that coveted leopard-spotted char on the crust while keeping toppings perfectly cooked.

Constructed with a robust stainless-steel body and a thick stone floor, the Arc is engineered to reach and hold temperatures up to 950°F, hot enough to cook a authentic Neapolitan-style pizza in about 60 to 90 seconds. The oven's insulated dome retains heat efficiently, allowing for consistent bakes even during back-to-back cooking sessions when entertaining guests. Beyond pizza, the Arc's high heat capacity and spacious cooking floor make it versatile enough for searing meats, roasting vegetables, and baking flatbreads, expanding its usefulness well beyond a single dish. The digital temperature display and precise gas dial give users real-time control, removing much of the guesswork that comes with traditional wood-fired ovens.

Designed with convenience and portability in mind, the Gozney Arc connects easily to a standard propane tank, making it a practical choice for backyard patios, rooftop terraces, or even tailgate setups. Its compact footprint belies its performance capability, offering serious firepower without requiring a permanent outdoor kitchen installation. The oven also features a sleek, modern aesthetic that fits comfortably alongside contemporary outdoor furniture, while its accessible ignition and simple controls make it approachable for pizza oven beginners and seasoned enthusiasts alike. For those seeking the flavor and texture of wood-fired pizza with the ease and consistency of gas, the Gozney Arc delivers a compelling, high-performance solution.

Owner feedback

What buyers say

— Marcus T. (2024-03-15) I've owned two other gas pizza ovens before this and nothing compares. The auto-rotation means I can actually talk to my guests instead of babysitting the pizza. Heats up fast and the results are consistently excellent.
— Sarah K. (2024-01-22) The Arc performs beautifully — even browning every time thanks to the rotating stone. My only complaint is the price, but honestly you get what you pay for. Build quality is excellent.
— David R. (2023-11-08) Bought this after years of using a kettle grill setup for pizza. Night and day difference. The digital temp readout takes the guesswork out completely, and my Neapolitan pies come out perfect in under 90 seconds.
— Elena V. (2024-02-10) Performance is fantastic and the rotating floor really works as advertised. Just wish it were a bit lighter and easier to move around since I like to store mine in the garage between uses.
