As the weather starts getting colder as we approach the end of 2021, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to enjoy the outdoor novelties we used on a daily basis throughout summer. With outdoor kitchens now requiring additional maintenance, a few outdoor pleasures remain for those looking to spend more time in the yard.
With one exception. Unlike outdoor barbecues featuring areas exposed to the natural elements, pizza ovens are more or less available for use all year round. From top brands such as Napoleon, Lynx, and Fontana, Vancouverites enjoy the privilege of having plenty of pizza oven options to choose from.
The Many Benefits of Owning a Pizza Oven
For those doubting the necessity of a pizza oven – while a kitchen-made pizza may quench the urge of driving out for a Hot and Ready, nothing quite compares to a pizza made from a pizza oven reaching 800+ degrees Fahrenheit.
With an oven by Napoleon or Lynx, a good pizza oven is able to reach high temperatures without the long preheating times and extensive cleanup that standard kitchen ovens require. While this may seem like a luxury – if you are looking to make the best of your outdoor space while recreating the delicious texture and taste of an authentic pizza, a pizza oven would be the perfect compliment to your yard this Winter 2021.
Deciding on the Perfect Pizza Oven
For those looking to pick up a pizza oven for the first time, the abundance of options may seem overwhelming. With Home Depot offering pizza ovens for as low as $250, it can be hard to justify dishing out more money for a more luxurious option. However, named brands such as Fontana and Napoleon are built to last for many years to come.
When selecting the perfect pizza oven for you, we recommend evaluating by the below criteria:
Construction Type:
- Stainless Steel – a sleek, reliable option that fits with most outdoor kitchen themes
- Refractory Clay – heavy and durable, clay offers the best heat retention of all materials
- Brick – offering a traditional, old-world look with modern reliability
Fuel Type:
- Electric – the easiest to install option, though has the lowest cap for maximum temperature
- Natural Gas – offering ideal temperature control and convenience – simply flip a switch and ignite!
- Wood – traditional and authentic, wood is the perfect option for those who appreciate the the classic taste of wood-fired pizzas
Investing In a Good Pizza Oven
An additional benefit to picking a good pizza oven is its ability to improve the future valuation of your home. Similar to having a built-in outdoor kitchen or a hot tub, many home shoppers appreciate additional novelties when deciding on their choice of property. Owning a pizza oven by a famed brand goes a long way in the decision making process.
