Gozney Arc Lite — Outdoor Gas Pizza Oven

Gozney pared the Arc down to its essentials, and the result is a gas oven that demands no ritual. The burner heats the dome and the stone at once, so the cornicione chars while the base bakes, with none of the learning curve of wood. You turn the dial, you wait, you cook. For anyone who already commands a kamado's fire, it is a familiar gesture stripped to its simplest form.

The matte-black finish and low dome concentrate heat over a pizza up to 12 inches across, the classic individual Neapolitan size. At nearly 510 °C the dough puffs, leopard-spots the rim and is ready before you can pour the next glass. This is an oven for fast rounds, one pizza after another, not for a single large bake.

For the kamado owner, the Arc Lite does not compete, it completes. The kamado still rules the long ember, the smoke and the cooks that ask for patience; this oven settles in sixty seconds what the ceramic was never built to do, the Neapolitan-hot pizza that wants a direct flame and a glowing dome. Two fires for two different crafts, no overlap and neither stealing the spotlight on the terrace.
