Things We Love:

Wish you could have great Camp Chef quality wrapped in a neat little package? With the Camp Chef Italia Artisan pizza oven, you get just that! Its stainless steel body makes for a sleek design, durable construction, and easy cleaning, while its reliance on gas means you don’t need to cure it, unlike most wood-burning ovens. And if you already own Camp Chef products, this portable pizza oven will really tie your whole outdoor kitchen together!

Heats Up Fast to Get the Party Going

The Italia Artisan pizza oven might be small, but it packs a punch. Thanks to its 17,000 BTU gas burner, this portable model needs only 15 minutes to reach its ideal cooking temperature of about 750 degrees Fahrenheit. The oven ceiling is insulated and double-layered to better retain heat, which you can monitor using the included thermometer on top of the oven. One of this Camp Chef pizza oven’s best features is its ventilated and removable front door with an easy-to-open handle. Try leaving it on for longer bake sessions!

Small Enough to Go Anywhere

Measuring just 26 inches wide and 16 inches tall, the Italia Artisan pizza oven is perfect for tailgating, camping, or everyday outdoor cooking at home. Personal pizzas can easily fit on its 260-square inch cooking surface, so feel free to experiment with new ingredients in small doses. This model also comes with an attachment for 1-pound, disposable propane tanks available at most grocery stores, as well as a 5-foot regulator hose that hooks up to a standard, 20-pound tank.

Traditional Brick Oven Taste

Camp Chef engineered the Italia Artisan to perform like a wood-fired brick oven but with the added benefits of a portable frame and gas-powered temperature control. Heat maintenance is key for authentic flavors, and this pizza oven makes it easy with a built-in control valve and its ceramic cordierite stone cooking floor. This material is also used in kilns, so you can rest assured that it’ll handle the heat.

Things To Consider:

While this model doesn’t include any accessories, BBQGuys® has a full line of pizza oven accessories including pizza peels, stones, and cutters. The Italia Artisan pizza oven is great for personal, on-the-go cooking, but it can fit only one 12-inch pizza at a time and isn’t ideal for feeding large crowds.
