Why Pizzaovendeal exists
Buying a pizza oven starts with a row of model names that give little away. Koda, Karu, Volt, followed by a 12, a 16, a 2, a Pro or a Max. You cannot work out the difference between a Karu 12 and a Karu 2 from the name, and every brand has its own version of that problem.
On top of that, the same oven has four prices at four shops, all of which go on sale at different moments. The gap between the dearest and the cheapest shop on the same model regularly runs to a few tens of euros.
This site does two things. It puts the prices side by side, so you do not have to keep four tabs open. And it says honestly which model suits which situation, including what is wrong with it, because that is usually the information you need in order to decide.
How we arrive at the advice
The specifications come from the manufacturer. The advice is based on what those specifications mean in practice: a twelve-inch oven bakes one pizza at a time, and that is a different kind of evening from an oven that handles two.
Where we are not certain of something, we write that down instead of talking around it. And where a cheaper model is enough, we say so, even though it earns us less commission.
What we do not do is fire the ovens ourselves. Nothing here is the verdict of someone who spent an evening baking with one, which is also why you will find no stars or scores anywhere: we would have to invent them.
The prices we do measure ourselves. Every morning we fetch what each shop is asking against the product barcode, and we keep the series. That is the one thing on this site that comes from us rather than from a manufacturer or a shop.
The text is written with the help of AI, and a person reads it before it goes up. That does not apply to the figures: specifications come from the manufacturer, prices from our own measurements. Where a manufacturer publishes no figure, we say so rather than estimate one.
How this site is paid for
Through affiliate links. If you buy through a shop link on this site, we receive a commission from that shop and you pay the same price.
Found something that is wrong?
A wrong price, an out-of-date specification, or a model we are missing? Let us know.
The other two sites
This site is one of three. The same maker also compares espresso machines and kamado barbecues, in the same way and under the same rules about prices and specifications.
