Which pizza oven does pan pizza best?

Top pick

Ooni Volt 2

Ooni Volt 2

For pan pizza, Ooni Volt 2 offers a dedicated preset, independent heat intelligence and a wide low-to-high range, and it can switch to broil once the top needs color.

Why it suits this job

  • Range at lower temperatures
  • Height of chamber
The catch
Even with only a 12-inch cooking floor, it takes up a long run of counter depth and wants plenty of clearance.
