The Gozney Roccbox takes roughly 20–25 minutes to reach full 950°F, and the Ooni Koda 2 about 20–30 minutes. All three heat faster once the oven body is already warm, and the first cook of the day always runs longest.

The Gozney Roccbox strikes an impressive balance between portability and performance, making it an excellent choice for pizza enthusiasts who value flexibility in their outdoor cooking setup. The form factor actually allows you to store it away when not in use—something we can't say about many of its competitors. You won't have to dedicate permanent backyard real estate to your pizza-making ambitions, and the foldable legs and relatively compact design make it easy to take the Roccbox tailgating or to a friend's house for a pizza party. But don't be fooled by its size, this 12-inch pizza oven packs a serious punch.
