TL;DR
Popular Pizza Oven Brands
Ooni and Roccbox are frequently recommended brands for home pizza ovens. Both offer portable options that can reach high temperatures necessary for authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas. Ooni ovens are versatile, allowing for wood, charcoal, or gas fueling, while Roccbox is known for its compact design and ease of use [5:1].
Temperature Control
The ability to reach and maintain high temperatures is crucial for making great pizzas. Users have found success with ovens like the Prokan by adjusting temperatures between 650°F and 720°F [5:1]. This flexibility allows for different styles of pizza, such as New York style, which typically requires lower temperatures compared to Neapolitan pizzas
[5:5].
Size and Portability
When choosing a pizza oven, consider the size and portability. Smaller ovens like the Ooni Koda are ideal for outdoor use and can be easily transported, whereas larger models might offer more cooking space but require a fixed setup. The choice depends on your available space and how you plan to use the oven.
Fuel Type
Different ovens offer various fueling options, including wood, charcoal, and gas. Wood-fired ovens provide a traditional flavor and experience, but gas ovens offer convenience and consistent heat. Some models, like those from Ooni, allow for multi-fuel options, giving users flexibility depending on their preferences.
Additional Considerations
While specific ovens weren't mentioned in the discussions, it's important to consider additional features such as ease of cleaning, build quality, and price. Investing in a high-quality oven can enhance your cooking experience and ensure durability over time.

Looks a lil burnt
That looks disgusting bro
It’s burnt
Oh…um…well enjoy!
That looks sad compared to our PH. Ours has been rocking out perfection for a couple of months now.
Light shining through a pizza? What’s up with that?
It’s holy.
That window pane. Light should not shine though a pizza my Guy. Nice pie still
My newest addiction to functional art seems to be Staub Enameled Cast Iron. And this forum has been beneficial in helping me feed the need. And now I'm looking for a final fix.
Some might just get one big pot and use it for everything. I seem more atracted to some degree of specialization. And variety in form.
Got the 26cm 4 quart wide first. French Blue. An apparent SLT exclusive both in spec and color. It was on sale on top of the ongoing sale for a couple of days. So I jumped. Heavier than I expected for a 4 quart. It's used as a semi large floored high sided pan-pot, to contain splatter when searing and frying. And as a braiser or a casserole. A pseudo sauteuse, but without the clumsy long handle typically found on similar size stainless pans. So it fits easily in a largish countertop toaster oven. I didn't really want stainless anyway.
Then the 5 qt tall, in graphite, that I had been intrigued by since the beginning. A whole couple of months ago. Searches within the forum led me to an attractive price at Gygi. So I lept. I like it for it's compact and lightweight form, while still having reasonable volume. Another splash and splatter resistant design in my mind. Seems popular for bread. Appropriate for boiling pasta. Deep fry. Probably do it all if it had to.
But I feel I'm missing the big black curvy pot. And to me, the Essential French Oven is particularly fetching. Sensual lines. Not too heavy or cumbersome. And especially in matte black, to blend with the blocky French blue 4 wide and the slick and slender graphite 5 tall.
And practical?,,, if that could be said about a $200 pot, which would be the most expensive in my "collection". But somehow reasonable for a high end over 5 quart. Might could be the most used. The stove sitter. Beautiful shelf art at the least.
Back to practically. While all are versatile to some degree, the EFO's strengths are somehow different: Spaghetti Bolognese. One pot chili. Enough space and curves for make shift small volume stir fry. Surely more to add to the list.
I think the Big Black French might be a different enough shape to be the coup de grâce.
Anywho,,, what say you r/staub community? Should I cannonball?
I use the tall and a braiser. Seems to be almost everything covered. I have a stainless steel pan for high heat searing
Yeah, with the 4 wide as my braiser and the 5 tall, I don't really need the French Oven.
I think a tall and oval dutch oven should cover most needs. Oval for longer proteins and the tall for frying. All other cooking methods can be covered by these two as well.
With that said, I have 6 dutch ovens, some staub and some le cruset. The best piece of advice is to catch them on sale and save some cash. It’s a real investment.
Good point about the oval. Which do you like? The taller with typical cocotte lid? Or wider with Chystera lid?
But I think the 5+ quart ovals are typically about twice as much at the moment. Although I haven't really shopped them because they do seem to start infringing on stove and/or sink space. And heavy.
Not sure I want any bigger pot than the 5.25 EFO, or heavier pot than the 4 wide, at this particular moment. I might have to grow into it a bit. Think about it for a year or two 😃
I would just go for the 5.5qt round. Basically does everything these all do but is in the happy middle as far as dimensions go.
Did you downvote my other response 😂
I think I'll just get a big red 7 quart instead. The 4 and 5 quarts seem smaller than I thought they'd be. And I don't think a 7 will be as big as I had previously thought. I think a lot of times the 28cm width might be nice. If for nothing else just the access at the top. I don't have to ever fill it up.
Eh,,, I could get a good deal on a 7 quart. Cheaper then the French oven even. And much cheaper than the 5.5 DO. But it's too big for my needs. A hassle in the sink, and hangin over on the burners.
The 5.5 DO cost too much. And weighs more than the French.
Call it a one pot wonder if you will. I just don't understand how it's shape and dimensions would fit what I want.
Besides, the visual appeal just isn't there for me like with the 5.25 French Oven. And that's at least a part of the reason to get or not get it for me.
As far as one pot for everything,,,, at this point, with the 5 tall and 4 wide in hand, it's no longer about trying to make one pot do everything. It's about having a few pots that collectively, each do certain individual things better than any single pot could.
My 26cm 4 wide has as big or a bigger area for browning and braising. And easier to get in and out of for shallow frying, while still being taller than a braiser for containing splatter.
My 5 tall is smaller and lighter, with still enough volume for deep frying and baking bread, or whatever. Just a convenient 24cm size.
The 5.25 French Oven first of all, is on sale. Second, I think it looks cool (especially in black). And third, the shape and extra volume will be great when I want a wider top and rounded sides for stirring lots of different recipes or pot lucks. Gumbo, jambalaya, the big meat and spaghetti dish that I like to make. Stuff that I like to stir a lot. Mix it up. And I think it might make me a better and more adventurous cook. Try new recipes that fit it's shape and size. Plus I like the look. And did I say it's on sale? 😀
Lastly,,, if I want,,, I could have the French oven on the stove with the pot of spaghetti or whatever, while baking bread in the oven with the 5 tall,,, and roasting vegetables in the toaster oven with the 4 wide, all at the same time 😉 I mean if I ever feel the need to make that much food at one time.
As someone who owns well over 30-pieces of functional Staub art, I can only say some people spend $200 on fancy dinners, some drink daily/weekly, some smoke, some even take drugs. Others spend far more on ONE handbag or watch then our entire Staub collection.
If you have the budget, the space to live comfortably, and it brings you joy, go for it. And don't worry about who's going to deal with your collection when you transition over to the great chef's kitchen in the afterlife; it's not your problem. 😂😂😂
Enjoy your Staub and happy collecting!
I've decided to skip another 5 and get a 7. I initially thought these were going to be bigger and less manageable.
In the past, I hadn't used a big 8 quart pasta stock pot much. But if I'm going to start getting into cooking more, I think a 7 in a wider and lower form than the 8 quart stock pot will be more enjoyable to use. Just a big ole squat red pot with easy access at the top.
Might get a bottle of red wine to celebrate it. And to cook with 😀
Now that's what I'm talkin bout! 🤜🤛
Not sure if they have that specific dish, but for Vietnamese... Mi Li Cafe is hard to beat IMO.
Second this. I've hit almost every spot in town and this is the best, IMO
omgg i grew up eating at mi li. good to know they’re still good and up and running!
Sadly, I don't see banh xeo on their menu.
oh :(
If you go to Mi Li you will see most of the clientele is Vietnamese. With a few non Vietnamese people that want authentic Vietnamese food mixed in.
According to a Vietnamese friend the best Vietnamese food in Columbus is:
his mom’s cooking if she comes to visit > Mi Li > Huong > anywhere else
You already identified GC Pho, best I've had in the city.
If you're ever up in Cleveland, go to Superior Pho. It's the best in the state pho and bahn mi.
i’ll have to try when i go up there soon! thank you !
Paris Bánh Mì on Sawmill near Meijer just added bánh xèo to their menu and its not bad, is in their appetizers
Mi Li is amazing for Vietnamese food, would definitely recommend
They don’t have banh xeo though
What did you think of Paris?
For Banh Xeo, I like Huong, but now am also looking forward to trying GC Pho based on the recommendations here. Taste is subjective, but I think that at the top tier in town the differences are negligible and all have their strong dishes. Overall, as a 15 year or more patron of all of them, I'm in the Buckeye > Mi Li > Huong > Indochine (RIP) camp. There are lots of other okay to mediocre places in town and some very bad ones (looking at you 6-1-Pho).
My reasoning for Buckeye is that the owner (Max) is Viet, but was classically trained during years working under Chef Hubert Siefert (Gourmet Market, Spagio, Aubergine). Max does little fine-dining background type things many places don't like using ribeye for his rare beef. I called bullshit when he told me that, and he dragged me in back and showed me whole cryovac'd rib roasts in his cooler. The Pho broth is superior and by nicely asking, you can get a little bowl of marrow to add to your soup. Also notable are his Goi ga xe phay, Bo Kho, and Banh Cuon in addition to the standards. And for anyone who misses Hubert's creme brulee, Max has it on the menu as a thoughtful nod to his old boss.
The owner of Mi Li is Max's sister, so there are a lot of similarities across the two menus, but they're my go to for Bun bo hue. I used to go here weekly when I worked on that side of town.
When nearby, I also love stopping at Huong for fried chicken, papaya salad, short rib Pho, and Chao Tom. They have a deeper selection of menu items most other places don't.
Turned out great.
I would eat that
At the very least he’s gravely ill. There is zero chance these rumors have been flying for a week and he hasn’t been in front of a camera. His ego wouldn’t allow for it.
Agreed, and rumor holds they keep trying to pass off earlier photos as more recent, but when have to known him NOT to blather about himself or something else stupid?
Trump stoked out too early and the establishment is scrambling to figure out a way to blame Iran.
> figure out a way to blame Iran.
How many Sharpies could that possibly take?
For sniffing or scribbling?

Hello Auckland! My family and I are heading up from Wellington this weekend for our first family trip to Auckland. We're looking for the best burger spot and the best pizza spot. Maybe something unique. Definitely something we can't get in Wellington. What's your recommendation?
Burgers: Burger Geek or Kane’s. People rave about Fat Pukus but there’s better places IMO. Pizza: Turtle or Pizza Club (not sure if they’re in Wellington but they’re amazing).
Pizza club is dog slop
Pizza club 🤢
Fat Puku’s is awesome but they’re expensive
Burger geek not the same since they franchised
Kanes Burger Club is the best burger place I've ever been to - and ive travelled across America, Asia and Europe. High praise but I reckon they deserve it!
Aucklaholma, add jalapenos and get the loaded fries 😍
I cant give it the title since he changed to the potato buns. 😪
Epolitosssss baby
Ralph’s is the best burger in the city imo
We ate at Master and Margherita’s pizza bar recently in Birkenhead. Nice covered outdoor area, pizzas were very good. Sangrias went down nicely, too. They have a takeaway spot in Grey Lynn and the pizza bar is relatively new.
Dante’s is also very good.
There are loads of burger places. Check out the plethora or reviews on this sub.
Master & Margherita is soooooo good, love the new pizza bar!
I just put pizza on the grates. Does this do something better?
The oven inserts go right over the firebox and direct all of the heat solely into the oven so they get much hotter than grills will get. Oven temps of 900 etc.
YES, it connected directly to the FIrepot, which drive the heat right on the PIzza stone, then out around the sides of the dome and down onto the top of the PIzza, ( so you get the Pizza Stone heat on the bottom and Convected air on the top ) with your grill set you 375F, you will be getting heat around 800F-900F on the stone, because you have no deflector plate in place
it is FANTASTIC, but do not go jockeying your Heat control up and down or you will end up with BACKburn
I fucking love mine , it is a Stanbroil I bought on Amazon.
It directs 100% of the fire box into the oven and creates a more true pizza oven convection. Mine will hit of 900 degrees for nice Neapolitan pizza but can also do your classic tavern style or regular old take out
I'll cook a great Neapolitan margherita in about 90 seconds
Also, you're not putting fresh dough on the grates
You could try using a cast iron pan for deep dish pizza. You might need to run it at hotter temperature. You could try just using the pizza stone only.
Try a dessert pizza. Pump sauce Gary, deli chocolate, creamy peanut butter, sliced banana, brown sugar and marsh Melos.
This is fucking insane.
I love it.
Did he try to put the dude in the oven?
Dude thought it was a tanning bed.
So crispy! 🤣
Made me laugh
Lmfao
Why are all the Artie Lange clones dressed alike in a black t-shirt and jeans? There's 4 of them, BTW. It took me about 5 watches to discern that important piece of info from this masterpiece.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that had this thought. Maybe Artie opened a rival pizzeria across the street?
Ringing the bell with the ladle
Dude grabbed everything 🤣
I still want my pizza, btw.
LOL.
“You’re not getting it” 💀💀
pep/jal is so good it gives me goosebumps
A guy survived on potatoes
I made pizza at a little market for 2 years. I ate a slice of pizza damn near everyday. Would 100% recommend, I was so happy and still fit 😂
