Gozney Arc XL: questions before you buy
Yes — if you feed a crowd.
16-inch pizzas for a crowd. Big, heavy and pricey.

What size pizza does it fit?
Up to 16 inches — big enough to feed a group in one round.
What fuel does it use?
Propane. It's a gas-only oven; Gozney's Dome range is the one that also burns wood.
How hot does it get, and how quickly?
Tom's Guide measured about 750°F (400°C) in under 30 minutes, and it held that heat steadily.
How heavy is it?
Nearly 60 lb, and about 21 × 25 × 13.5 in. Pick a sturdy table or stand and leave it there.
Is it hard to cook big pizzas?
There's a learning curve. Tom's Guide found it easy to burn the edges of large pizzas if you don't turn them in time.
Is it worth it over a 12-inch oven?
Only if you regularly cook for groups or want big pizzas. For a family, a 12-inch oven like the Ooni Karu 2 is cheaper, lighter and plenty.
Should I get this or the Ooni Karu 2?
The Arc XL for 16-inch pizzas and push-button gas heat. The Karu 2 for wood-fired flavour, a lower price and an oven you can move around.
