How long do outdoor pizza ovens take to heat up?

Reviewer consensus

It varies by model and fuel. Verified-purchase and community reports put gas ovens like the Ooni Koda 16 at roughly 15–20 minutes to reach pizza temperature, while one high-trust test of the Gozney Arc clocked nearly 40 minutes to hit 900°F. Budget and multi-fuel ovens running pellets or wood are often quoted around 18–20 minutes in retailer listings, though real-world times depend heavily on weather and wind.
