Friday nights have always been pizza nights in our house, but the sizzling success of getting a Gozney Arc pizza oven has just taken things to the next level. Read on for our review of this must-have for pizza lovers.
When the kids were small, my husband would always pick them up from school on Fridays and come home to make quick and easy pizzas. Pita bread bases with no-fuss, choose-your-own toppings, followed by a movie to finish a busy week. Family bliss.
The kids are older now and we often entertain adults on Friday nights, so it follows that my husband has coveted a home pizza oven for some time. He’s been making his own dough for years, and our New York trip for my 40th birthday was punctuated by drop-ins to Grimaldi’s under the Brooklyn Bridge, and visits to Lombardi’s on Spring Street in Lower Manhattan.
These New York-style pizzas embody the fresh, simple nature of quality ingredients, blended with the enjoyment and shared experience of eating pizza with friends – something we’ve been yearning to replicate at home.
Gozney Arc review: The irresistible appeal of our own home pizza oven
A home breadmaker from way back, my husband was frustrated with the shortcomings of pizza stones in the oven or on the BBQ – the heat was never intense enough to achieve a crispy crust without firing it quickly under intense heat, and it was impossible to achieve a flick of smokey char around the edges. Enter the Gozney Arc.
Start me up. The Gozney Arc is quick to heat to 500ºC and hold it to cook perfect pizza at home.
Gozney has produced a quality product, beautifully engineered from end-to-end – design, build and finish that creates crunchy, delicious pizzas in your own backyard.
It’s a cheap night in. Since good pizza costs $25 each, this is a fabulous cost saving for the household, you can make 5 pizzas for the cost of a store-bought or restaurant pizza.
It’s more beautiful than other leading brands! Its stylish silhouette has added a touch of wow factor to our alfresco space.

The gas connection on the Gozney is the new version, so fitting to your LPG gas bottle may require a trip to your local Swap’n’Go outlet.
Without the Gozney accessories, your pizza-making game will suffer.
You’ll never have a Friday night to yourself again.
What’s so special about the Gozney Arc?
A lot of research has gone into creating the Gozney Arc, and we think they’ve nailed it. Gozney has thought of everything needed for an enjoyable experience of making outstanding pizza at home, from the compact design, efficiency of the gas burner and ergonomics of the tools (the pizza cutter alone is a triumph of object design). Invest in the accessories from the get-go and it all starts to make sense.
If you love pizza, this will be both a lifestyle win and an economic saviour for your household. If you cook four pizzas at home with the Gozney Arc every week, you’ll pay off the cost of your pizza oven in just six months!
Gozney Arc accessories are a must for perfecting your pizza skills at home.

We can’t recommend highly enough the Gozney online resources for training, tips, recipes and technique guidance. Watch all of the videos and the rest is just practice to make perfect pizza. The hardest thing is getting your pizza-forming skills up to scratch, the pizza oven does the rest of the work for you.
Don’t overload the topping! This is a rookie mistake that your kids can make on a store-bought pizza base, but if you’re making your own dough (and why wouldn’t you?), an overloaded pizza base will collapse under the weight of heavy toppings. It’s no fun scraping a soggy mess off the stone floor of your pizza oven.
Once your base is formed and topped, press the two peels into action, a broad, flat placement peel, then the smaller turning peel to keep it constantly moving in a circular motion. In no time you’ll have the quintessential stance of a pizza chef, feeding a pie into the mouth of a flame-hot oven. The more times you do it, the better you’ll become and the more fun you’ll have!
The proof is in the pie. Get the dough right and Gozney does the rest to make perfect home pizza every time.
Experiment with different pizza recipes and getting your temperature right so that you cook the base without burning it and the top is cooked properly. We found that if the base is fine but the toppings need a little extra cooking, using the turning peel to lift the pizza high in the oven and finish it off worked a treat.
