In 2021, Gozney hit the scene, catching the eye of many a pizza pie fanatic with its beefy, beautiful Dome outdoor oven. Since then, that same oven has ranked among the best pizza ovens you can buy — even making our list as the best upgrade.

Now, the brand has returned to the product that put it on the map, giving it a top-down reimagining. And wouldn’t you know it, the Gozney Dome Gen 2 Series pizza oven is better in almost every way.

A person is holding a cast iron skillet with a large cooked tomahawk steak, using a cloth to handle the hot pan. The skillet is placed on the edge of a modern outdoor pizza oven or grill with a digital temperature display showing 722°F. The scene is set outdoors with greenery in the background. — This redux is bigger and more powerful than ever before.

More bang for your buck

The new Dome Gen 2 Series comes in two sizes: standard and XL. However, both are larger than their preceding counterparts. While that might mean you need more space than you might, it also means more cooking surface inside.

Now, these Domes have enough internal room for up to three pizzas at a time. However, since internal space is increased, that also means it’s easier to cook other things inside, too, like roasts, shanks, steaks and so on. You can even toss a cast-iron pan or two into these bad boys.

The scene appears to be set in a bright, outdoor or semi-outdoor area. — The Dome 2 Series has enough room to cook up to three pizzas at once.

Despite the upgraded size, much of what we’ve come to love about the Dome remains. It’s still a multi-fuel oven, for instance — meaning it can cook with propane, wood and even charcoal. This helps up its versatility even more.

It also retains the same signature styling that helped make the original one of the best-looking pizza ovens you could buy. However, the upgrades aren’t just to the ovens’ size…

The oven interior glows with warm orange light from the fire. — Like its predecessor, this is a multi-fuel oven that can run on propane, charcoal and wood, making it incredibly versatile.

Pie in the sky

Yes, the new Dome revision is bigger than before. However, it’s also more versatile and powerful than ever. Per the brand, these ovens are built to commercial-quality standards — meaning they’re in-line with what professionals use.

That starts with the oven’s stone. Crafted from 30-millimeter cordierite, the stone locks in heat for perfect crust and recovers quickly between cooks. It pairs with space-grade, three-layer insulation in the oven’s walls that keep the heat trapped and, more importantly, even.

The upgrades aren’t just to the ovens’ size.

Regardless of which fuel type you use, the Dome’s flames are lateral-rolling, like a natural wood fire, ensuring a consistent, even cook throughout the interior.

And if you do choose to use propane, you’ll have even more control, thanks to an incredibly precise electric system. This includes twin meat probes, an easy-to-read digital display, a built-in timer and more.

Of course, Gozney still has a wealth of available upgrades and accessories, like a wood fire control kit, attachable mantle (for extra landing space), oven door, a stand, pizza peels and much more.

In the background, there is a wooden cutting board with a large grilled steak and roasted vegetables, and a grill is visible further behind. Another wooden plate with flatbread is on the table. The setting appears to be outdoors. — Everything you see here (and much more) can be cooked inside this oven — it’s not just for pizza.

The Gozney Dome Gen 2 Series will launch on October 15, 2025, starting at $2,300. However, you can sign up on the brand’s site right now for updates and early access.
