All-Clad Gas Pizza Oven Review (2025): A Pie That Rotates Itself

This pizza oven goes to 11. At slightest it says it does. A specified 20 minutes aliases truthful aft firing up nan caller All-Clad Gas Pizza Oven—the beloved pot-and-pan brand’s first existent foray into outdoor cooking—the oven's somesthesia gauge has gone heavy into uncharted territory.

The dial’s markings apical retired astatine astir 900 degrees Fahrenheit, but nan thermometer’s needle is location successful nary man’s land, good supra what mightiness registry arsenic a 1000 if its thermometer weren’t engaged shrugging. My infrared somesthesia weapon seems inclined to agree, depending wherever I constituent it wrong nan oven, though nan aboveground of nan All-Clad’s heavy 16-inch pizza chromatic is still hanging manageably beneath 900 degrees.

Consider this an announcement: All-Clad did not travel to play.

The propane-powered, 16-inch All-Clad is simply a powerful caller entrant successful nan still young world of accessible backyard pizza ovens, a scenery whose first decade was mostly a scorched-wood duel betwixt nan English and nan Scots—Ooni and Gozney, respectively. (See WIRED's guideline to nan champion pizza ovens.)

All-Clad is making a lawsuit that caller ideas are still retired there. The oven’s large sell, speech from its gaping 16-inch maw, is simply a rotating pizza chromatic that’s meant to return a batch of nan fuss retired of cooking pizza evenly. (The All-Clad isn’t alone. The lower-cost Versa 16 from Halo, which I’m presently testing, besides offers a rotating stone.)

In nan process, nan All-Clad places itself arsenic a genuine contender among apical pizza ovens. Once I cooled nan oven backmost down into much reasonable temperatures, I person utilized this All-Clad to make pies some neo-Neapolitan and New York, baked pies from caller and stiff alike, seared a handsome ribeye steak, and cooked veggies that ranged from charred to moreover much charred.

Spin Me Right Round

I’ll get into nan specs later. But first, I want to talk astir nan oven’s astir salient feature: that rotating pizza stone. Is it really arsenic breathtaking arsenic each that? In short, yes. Yes, it is. It’s apt to beryllium particularly charismatic to first-time pizza makers, and those who move retired a batch of pies rapidly.

Most pizza ovens power from a azygous superior source. And truthful pizza brands for illustration Ooni person devoted sizeable effort to modeling nan interior domed style of their ovens. With propane models that power from a rim of occurrence successful nan back, nan thought is to entice flames to lick up and complete nan dome, creating moreover power astir nan oven, frankincense heating nan chromatic evenly.
