Unboxing and Key Features

The reviewer unboxes the Gozney Roccbox pizza oven, noting it's available in three colors, but he chose the Tom Gozney signature Black Edition. Included are a pizza peel, manuals, and a recipe book, along with a 5-year warranty upon registration. The oven comes with a gas burner that connects to a standard 20 lb propane tank, enabling it to reach temperatures up to 950°F. The oven weighs 44 lb and has a strap for easier transport.

Design and Construction

The Gozney Roccbox features 304 stainless steel restaurant-grade construction wrapped in a silicone jacket for safe touch. It has foldable legs for easy storage and transport. The oven uses dense insulation between the outer and inner walls to maintain high temperatures. It also includes a 19 mm (3/4 inch) thick stone, which is essential for creating leopard spotting on the pizza crust.

First Firing

The reviewer installs the gas burner according to the manual. For the first firing, the manual recommends running the oven on low for 30 minutes. The oven's flame design, which is patented, directs flames towards the opening, ensuring optimal distance between the flame and the pizza. After 30 minutes on low, the oven is turned to high, aiming for a temperature of 950°F. The reviewer notes the included temperature gauge is a helpful feature.

Pizza Cooking and Final Thoughts

The reviewer cooks a pizza using store-bought dough. The pizza cooks quickly, requiring rotation every 2 minutes. The reviewer expresses satisfaction with the final result, especially for a first attempt. He praises the oven's ease of use and recommends it for those in the market for a pizza oven.
