    I have the alpha 4 pizza.  I tried ooni, and rockbox sized ovens.  Went to alot of demos etc.  My mind was originally set on a Portuguese brick oven because they hold heat so well.  They require so much maintenance over time, surface cracks etc.  Then I decided on a Forno Venetzia Bellagio 500, even built the station for its size, and used angle iron across the span for the possible weight.  No one had it in stock.  I was sorta pissed didnt want to wait 3 months to get it.  I settled for the 4 pizze with attitude.  But honestly, not that much size difference.  Hell at full speed I can not maintain 4 pizzas in the oven at a time.  They average 2 min a pie.  So now im tickled to death with it.  Definitely recommend it.  Fits two dutch ovens with ease for other cooking.  A Tuscany grill for steaks etc, and plenty of room for breads.  No looking back.  Laughed at myself after i got it


    I ended up going with a "full size" stainless pizza oven too and am so glad I did. From room temp to 900F in 25 minutes with surprisingly little wood. I'd still love a masonry oven one day, but at this point in my life it's not worth the expense and headache. Had I gotten the smaller Roccbox or Ooni first, I would have enjoyed them, but would have soon started suffering from upgradeitis.

    SWMBO gave me only a narrow space on side of house to utilize. Patio is huge behind the house but off limits to such shenanigans.  So I had to improvise. Table is a battleship made by @Tspud1

    Richmond and Mathews County, VA. Large BGE, Weber gas, little Weber charcoal. Vintage ManGrates. Little reddish portable kamado that shall remain nameless here.  Very Extremely Stable Genius.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    This is the route I went.  My thinking was if we moved people are highly unlikely to have a BGE and it would be a waste.  I can take my tspud table anywhere.  Plus when we were buying our current house anything we saw with outdoor kitchens were pretty much garbage, I just don’t think they handle extreme elements well with your average builds you get.
