pizza oven

Neapolitan cooking chamber

A pizza oven is an oven designed or used primarily for baking pizzas, typically reaching higher temperatures than conventional ovens.

Traditional pizza ovens are dome-shaped and wood-fired, producing characteristic charred crusts: We installed a pizza oven in the backyard.

The term also covers dedicated electric or gas units in pizzerias and compact countertop appliances for home use.
