----------------------------------------------
I was really underwhelmed with the Camp Chef Italia Artisan pizza oven. It's capable of reaching 900 degrees, but any temp over 600 is useless since there is no top heat and the bottom cooks too quickly. The bakes at temperatures below 600 are achievable in your kitchen oven. While I am a fan of some of their camping cooktops, this product does not lend itself to being very portable - no carry handles, very wide, and pretty heavy. So I don't see any selling points for this oven.

Good review, thank you for saving me money. seems Ooni is the best built.

[@palapizzaovens]

Ooni and Gozney both at the top for quality. The difference is substantial with other brands in this industry!

[@Sackenstein]

Thanks for the great review. Hopefully you saved people from buying thus junk.

[@Gstonesheat]

Your pizza looks good. Do you have an ingredients list on how you make your dough? Looks like you are using a sourdough starter right?

[@LOLTV-rt5dw]

Thank you so much for the honest review! My local store has it on clearance for $120 but you saved my money. Oh yeah that's why they try to clear the stock for such a underperformed pizza oven.

You have a lot to learn about using this pizza oven, first off it heats from the bottom so you have to use a screen to cook on. Watch a few reviews first so you understand. This oven is actually great and way better value for your dollar than the expensive ones. Use pizza screens and you will get extraordinary results. You have to use the door to get it hot enough and a breezy day it’s tough.

[@palapizzaovens]

No one in their right mind should be buying a pizza oven that requires the person to use a screen. At a minimum, if this was their intent, it would have came with a screen. It's a poor design and many many other ovens I reviewed far exceed this.

@@palapizzaovens clown 🤡 🤦‍♂️, the other pizza ovens you used heat from the sides. Do we really have to go over the basics. My god

[@timkashak4016]

@@palapizzaovens I am currently searching TH-cam to see if there is a hack to get more heat to the top. I consistently have either great bottom with uncooked tops or burnt bottoms with cooked tops. I even added a door to mine to try to keep more heat in.

​@palapizzaovensi have seen pizzaolos in pizzerias using this screens 🤷🏼‍♂️and they bought it as extra item 🤔
