Gas only, which makes it the easy one. Instant, controllable, big enough for a 16 inch base, and no fire to manage while guests wait.

Ooni Karu 12
Multi-fuel, so it runs on wood and charcoal out of the box and takes a gas burner as an add-on. The cheapest route to a genuine 450°C.

Where it sits
A domestic oven tops out around 250°C, which is why home pizza is disappointing. A dedicated pizza oven runs at 450 to 500°C, cooks a base in sixty to ninety seconds, and produces the leopard-spotted char that defines the style.
