Portable Pizza Ovens: The Backyard Gear You Didn’t Know You Needed

You know those bits of gear that seem like a gimmick—until you use one, and then wonder how you got by without it? That’s a portable pizza oven.

No hard work. No dodgy installations. Just a quick, hot little unit that knocks out proper pizzas with crunchy crusts and bubbling cheese.

Here’s why it’s worth giving your backyard a bit of a pizza boost. 

What’s a Portable Pizza Oven?
 

Exactly what it sounds like. It’s a small, mobile oven that gets piping hot and cooks pizza fast, usually in under two minutes.

It doesn’t need bricks or a chimney or anything complicated. You just chuck it on a table, light it up, and you’re away.

Some run on gas, some on wood or charcoal, and a few can do both.




Why People Actually Use These (Not Just Leave ‘Em in the Shed)
 

Let’s be honest — most kitchen gadgets end up collecting dust. But portable pizza ovens are a bit different.

They're:
✅ Quick to get going
✅ Easy to move
✅ Fun to cook with
✅ Not a pain to clean

Perfect for Saturday arvos, backyard beers, or when you can’t be bothered with a full BBQ.

Ideal for Small Backyards & Big Mobs
 

You don’t need a five-metre deck to use one of these. They sit on a bench or table, so they’re good for units, courtyards, or places with bugger-all space.

They’re also a hit when you’ve got people over — give everyone a go at building their own pizza and let the oven do the rest.

Good for Camping, the Beach, and Bush Trips
 

Because they’re light and portable, you can chuck them in the boot and bring them along for weekends away.

Set it up on a fold-out table, fire it up (sorry — light it up), and dinner’s sorted. Way better than a cold sandwich.



What to Look For When Picking One
