The key to recreating restaurant-style pies? A pizza oven that can heat up to very high temperatures.\r\n\r\nI've tested more than 10 outdoor pizza ovens<\/a>, including the Ooni Koda 16<\/a>, Gozney Roccbox<\/a>, Blackstone pizza oven<\/a> and two Solo Stove<\/a> options, to find the very best. Each of those requires either the use of gas (like a barbecue grill) or wood in order to fuel the flame. And all-electric options, like the Ooni Volt<\/a>, are typically very pricey if suited for outdoor use.\r\n\r\nThe new Ninja Artisan pizza oven<\/a> is changing the game. This outdoor appliance is all-electric and<\/em> budget-friendly, making it that much simpler to make delicious pizzas at home<\/a>. To see how well it performs, I put the Ninja Artisan through a series of tests. Find out how it stacks up ahead.\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"We Tried It\" product_name=\"Ninja Artisan 5-in-1 Pizza Oven\" short_description=\"This electric outdoor pizza oven has five different pizza style settings plus controls to use it for baking, broiling and even proofing dough.\" image=\"2130058\" image_credit=\"MOLLY ALLEN FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Ninja\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/ninjakitchen.pxf.io\/JK4Nbq\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Ninja\" retailers_2_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ninja-3-minute-Neapolitan-Temperature-MO201\/dp\/B0DWTFBFWT\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n

What is the Ninja Artisan pizza oven?<\/h2>\r\nNinja's Artisan pizza oven<\/a> is sleek, stylish and compact. At just under 21 inches by 16 inches, the pizza oven easily sits on any heat-safe surface with an easy-to-read control panel. There's no need to reach around the side or back to power on the oven\u2014the button is easily accessible right on the front.\r\n\r\nThe electric oven is weather-resistant and meant for outdoor use. Though it is electric, it cannot be used inside like an indoor pizza oven<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThere are heating elements on the top and bottom of the oven. This creates a controlled environment for even heating, without any need for gas or wood for fuel like many other pizza ovens require. It features five pizza settings with preset temperatures and timers, but you can also customize each to your needs. The oven's temperature ranges from 90 to 700 degrees Fahrenheit, so anything from pizza and cookies to roast chicken and fresh bread can be cooked in it.\r\n\r\nThe included pizza stone accommodates 12-inch pizzas, and it's easily reversible. That way, if you have stuck-on burnt residue, you can flip the pizza stone oven once it cools for simpler clean-up.\r\n

How We Tested It<\/h2>\r\nI've been testing the Ninja Artisan since March 2025, beginning my evaluation as soon as the box arrived at my home.\r\n\r\n\"Toha25\r\n

Setup<\/h3>\r\nTo set up the pizza oven, all I had to do was pull the oven out of the box and remove the protective packaging. The pizza stone was well-packaged to prevent any damage. Once it was unpackaged and placed inside the pizza oven, all that was left to do was plug in the oven and wait for it to preheat.\r\n\r\nThe oven has four stationary legs, so it can be placed on any heat-safe surface.\r\n

Making Pizza and Other Food<\/h3>\r\nIt took 20 minutes to preheat the oven to the Neapolitan setting. The pizza oven's front interface is simple to use; you just put the oven in pizza mode and toggle between the different styles, including Neapolitan, thin crust, New York, pan or a custom option. On the Neapolitan setting, the pizza oven beeped to indicate it was up to the proper temperature: a fiery 700 degrees.\r\n\r\n\"Toha25\r\n\r\nThis pizza oven's design takes all the guesswork and extra effort out of outdoor pizza making. Thanks to the oven's top and bottom heat coils, all you have to do is shimmy the prepared pizza off a pizza peel and onto the stone. The perforation helps to eliminate the amount of flour residue that's transferred to the oven while still helping to prevent dough from sticking to the peel while you're building the perfect pie.\r\n\r\nThere's no need to turn the pizza while it cooks for even browning, though you can keep an eye on it with the built-in internal light. Once the pizza is in place and the oven door is closed, press the \"start\/stop\" button to begin the countdown. The oven presets the cook time for Neapolitan to three minutes, though after a few tests at that temperature, I preferred cooking my pizzas for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This was easy to adjust with the dial, creating a custom timer to accommodate my desire for a bit less char.\r\n\r\nOn the New York-style pizza setting, the oven is heated to 475 degrees, with a timer set for seven minutes. Depending on the style of pizza you prefer, you can toggle to different preset modes, which are completely customizable when it comes to the temperature and cook time.\r\n\r\nThough this oven is designed for pizza first, its capabilities go beyond that. The temperature ranges from 90 degrees to 700 degrees, making it incredibly versatile. With that, you can use the oven to bake sweet and savory items, along with using the broil or warm functions or even create the perfect environment for proofing pizza dough. A 12-inch pan is included with the pizza oven, which can be used as a dish for prepping other foods.\r\n

Clean-Up<\/h3>\r\n\"Toha25\r\n\r\nWhile the pizza oven is in use, it's important to remember that the exterior does get hot.\r\n\r\nAfter making several pizzas in the oven, there wasn't much burnt residue left on the stone. I found the little that was left easy to clean. Once the oven had cooled, I used a pizza oven brush, which is one of the most helpful accessories for any pizza lover<\/a>. That way, there was no need to use a wet cloth or water, which can damage the stone.\r\n
