Is a gas or wood-fired pizza oven better for beginners?

Reviewer consensus

Across the reviewers we read, gas/propane ovens are the consistent recommendation for first-time buyers. They hit 900°F+ in 15–20 minutes, deliver predictable heat, and skip the learning curve of managing a live fire. Wood-fired and multi-fuel models are praised for flavor and versatility but consistently flagged as harder to dial in.
