Our verdict

Chicago Brick Oven suits anyone building a permanent outdoor pizza setup, pairing a 538 °C ceiling with a 6,865 cm² baking deck. The catch is entry cost, since the range starts at €4,000, the priciest opening figure on the table.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A 538 °C ceiling runs well past the 441 of a typical oven here, so crusts set and toppings colour quickly.
  • Fuel options cover wood and gas, so wood fire and gas buyers are served from the same range.
  • Listed as portable, so a lighter setup can be repositioned instead of staying where it was first built.
  • Support spans email, phone and help centre rather than email alone, giving phone and help centre routes before a €4,000 outlay.

Cons

  • Entry price of €4,000 places the brand at 39 of 39 on price from, the far end of the price table.
  • The starting figure sits well above the €175.38 typical of pizza ovens here, so a casual trial purchase turns into a large outlay.
  • The range covers pizza oven only, so buyers wanting grills, kamado cooking or smoking end up with GrilyKrby.cz or VEVOR instead.

Who it suits

  • Homeowners with outdoor space who want a 538 °C oven and a 6,865 cm² deck rather than a small first oven.
  • Cooks who plan for wood fire, with fuel types covering wood and gas.
  • Shoppers who want help after buying, with support running on email, phone and help centre.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Garvee: an entry price of $121.99 is the route for anyone keeping the first spend small.
  • GrilyKrby.cz: gas grill, charcoal grill and pellet grill covers buyers who want a pizza oven beside kamado, smoker and grill formats.
  • VEVOR: charcoal grill, electric grill and pizza oven suits shoppers who want charcoal and electric grills alongside a pizza oven in one range.

How it compares on our data

Ranked figures frame the trade-off better than a single number. On max temp c the brand places 2 among 23 brands tracked, so heat sits at the strong end of the pack. On price from it places 39 of 39, which is the far end of the price table. The two rankings pull opposite ways, so a buyer picks either heat or a low entry figure, and this brand leans hard on the first. That makes the comparison with cheaper ovens a choice about how quickly you need the oven, not about what is included in it.

Core features

Heat is the headline. The DIY kit lists a ceiling of 538 °C, high enough for a crust to set quickly and toppings to take colour fast. The brand lists these ovens as portable, so the unit can be shifted rather than fixed into one spot for good, which matters for gardens and terraces where layout changes. Cooking space comes to 6,865 cm² of baking area, a floor that takes a full pizza with room alongside it. Compared with the $121.99 entry point at Garvee, the money here goes into heat and deck size rather than a lower ticket.

The company behind it

The business behind the ovens trades as Chicago Brick Oven and is headquartered in the United States. It has been building ovens since 2006, so the company has a long record behind the products it sells. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which means a help centre, a phone line and email are all listed ways to reach it rather than a single form. For an item bought once and kept outdoors for years, that spread of support matters as much as the heat rating, and the long operating history gives buyers something to judge against before they commit to €4,000.

How Chicago Brick Oven compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Chicago Brick Oven cost at entry?+

The lowest listed oven in the range is €4,000, and that sits well above the €175.38 typical of pizza ovens on the site. At Garvee the entry point is $121.99, so a lower spend means a different product rather than a cheaper version of this one.

How hot does the oven get?+

The DIY kit is listed at a ceiling of 538 °C, and that heat is why the brand ranks 2 of 23 on max temp c. For reference, the 441 oven in this category falls a long way short of it.

What fuel can these ovens burn?+

Fuel types listed for the range are wood and gas. Wood suits the traditional pizza method with its longer heat-up, and gas suits buyers who want a quicker light without handling firewood. The choice sits inside the range rather than with the fuel supplier.

How much cooking space do you get?+

Cooking area is 6,865 cm², which is the floor you bake on and the figure to match against the size of pizza you actually cook. The same ovens are listed as portable, so the deck can move with the unit if your setup changes.

Does Chicago Brick Oven sell anything other than pizza ovens?+

The range covers pizza oven and nothing else. GrilyKrby.cz sells gas grill, charcoal grill and pellet grill and VEVOR sells charcoal grill, electric grill and pizza oven, so shoppers who want pizza alongside grills or kamado have broader lines elsewhere. Here the decision is between oven models, not oven types.

Who runs the company and where is it based?+

The ovens come from Chicago Brick Oven, headquartered in the United States and founded in 2006. A US base alongside a euro entry price of €4,000 points to the range serving European shoppers as well as North American ones, so check delivery terms for your country before ordering.

How do I get help after buying?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre. A phone line and a help centre sit alongside email, so answers do not depend on writing alone. That mix suits buyers weighing a heavy item at €4,000 who want a straight answer before committing.

Is it priced above other pizza ovens?+

Yes, on the listed entry figure of €4,000, which places the brand at 39 of 39 on price from. What the spend buys is a 538 °C ceiling and a 6,865 cm² deck from a company founded in 2006. Buyers after the cheaper end should start with Garvee at $121.99.
