Pizza ovens

Some lovely pizzas today from the koda 12 in the rain. I set it up just by the back door so I was standing in the kitchen while cooking outside. Maybe not the best I've ever done but still tasted better than most takeaways.

240-250g

Red onions, sun dried tomatoes, pesto, fresh red chillies, tesco pizza mozzarella, mutti pizza sauce, fresh basil…nothing too fancy

Dried basil and sliced garlic for marinara

Is this LIDL's first gas pizza oven? I know they have had pellet stoves and BBQ top ones. I wonder how well it would perform.

If it gets to 400c it should work fine.

I actually find the Ooni gets too hot

The Lidl milano wood pellet model which was available in UK last summer at similar price £79 had shocking reviews as shown from below YT review. cant reach or retain temps needed as fuel basket too small. maybe the gas model might be bit better

French lad had trouble reaching much more than 300c.....but people in comments had no issue getting to 400 and above. Gonna grab one tomorrow and see....price is unreal TBH.

Not quite hot enough but close enough when price is entered into the equation IMO. Expectations are realistic, but I'm sure it could bang out a reasonable pizza. Might not be an exact Neapolitan but 90euro! Time will tell I suppose.

I doubt they were cooked in that oven...but time will indeed tell....hardly an Ooni competitor, it 89 euro from Lidl.... probably available for a few weeks per year at best.

If it actually reaches 400C or above I'd call that a fair bit better than what a home oven can achieve. Well mine anyway.

Other than the actual temp this oven may or may not reachmy other reservations are mainly the strange gas outlet positioning, 2 either side of a seemingly tight space may prove tricky, also the 1cm stone will likely require a bit more time than is ideal if wanting to cook a few pizzas back to back...

I still reckon for the money its worth a punt...if it's crap I'll return it.

Edit...picked up this morning. Burner is on 3 sides of oven not 2 as I anticipated.

I was curious about this - the French youtube review went into a lot of detail on some things (like checking for gas leaks etc), and very little on others - like showing the actual inside of the oven while it's on. Are you saying there's flames on the three sides? I'm guessing that will mean less turning. Very interested to hear how you get on - especially with reaching temperature, and turning - it looks small, so with flames on three sides I wonder will it be easy to burn the crusts?

Had to buy a different gas regulator, supplied one was for butane I think....have a Patio gas cylinder I was hoping to use....so the 90 euro is now 105 euro.

I know with the ooni, you can't just swap the regulator and gas bottle from one gas to the other so be careful. I'm not sure why or what difference it makes but ooni say it's a big no no.
