Solo Stove Pi Prime
Score: 82/100Gozney Arc
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Solo Stove Pi Prime is a propane-powered portable pizza oven reaching about 482 °C and cooking 12-inch pizzas in 1.5 minutes, offering rapid heat and sturdy stainless-steel construction. It requires a separate propane tank and has a low opening height that limits thicker pies. Best for campers and tailgaters who value fast, consistent heat.
The Gozney Arc is a compact propane-only oven delivering restaurant-quality 14-inch pizzas at 950°F with a thick 20 mm stone. Its lack of multi-fuel options and Bluetooth connectivity, plus a heavier build, are trade-offs for the high performance. Best for enthusiasts who prioritize heat and build quality in a small-space patio setup.
