I feel like this guy gave up being a heel in pro wrestling to follow his real passion reviewing grills. I half expected him to climb up in the ropes and do a drop on that ooni

“I’m not a pizza maker” 😂 Yeah, we figured that out without you telling us. Conclusion- if you want to burn a frozen Red Baron pizza evenly, get the cheapest oven.

Great reviews. Just picked up the Expert Grill at Walmart which fortunately has them on a rollback deal for $97 today. Don’t know how long they will be on sale for but for less than $100, definitely worth a try!

I have an Ooni fyra which burns pellets. It gets to 900 in just a few minutes. You have to use fresh dough not frozen pizzas.

Just picked up the Walmart pizza grill on clearance for $82 Bucks. Now this makes this the best pizza oven.

Hey Tommy, The ooni karu what you tested afaik is designed to be used with hardwood or gas with the separetly sold gas attachment. At least for pizza. You can use charcoal in it for grilling other stuff in a cast iron pan for example. I got the fyra that uses pellets and is cheaper then this. It goes above 900F pretty fast. For pizza you should go for wood or pellets. Ooni also sell mini hardwood logs for the karu.

No way but did you really cook a store bought pizza in there lmao🤣

Gotta love the way this guy reviews stuff! Unapologetic and didn't go with the popular opinion which would be the Ooni. Salute to this guy right here.

Im not gonna lie, the song in the back is a vibe

I haven't tried it yet but I hear if you drop a couple of chunks of wood into the Walmart oven after the charcoal gets going, it comes up to temp faster. I'm also going to try throwing a handful of pellets in right before I add my pizza to see if that makes any difference in flavor. Also, you should try to use lump charcoal rather than briquets with the charcoal oven. Lump is actually wood that has been heated past the ignition point while in a vacuum so it has more wood-like properties than briquets which are designed to burn longer at a lower temp. That may also explain why the Walmart oven didn't get up to temp as quickly. I loved the three oven showdown too!

I just picked up the Expert Grill one this morning before work, can't wait to assemble it. After watching Tom Horseman's video and then yours I decided that it's a deal at $137. Thank you very much for your video.

Thanks for the overview. But, seriously, who wants pizza charred around the edges? It seems all three of these would need a lot of attention during the (albeit short) cooking time. Not worth the money. I’ll stick with my kitchen stove/pizza stone which only gets up to 500-550 degrees but delivers a good looking pizza.

LOL. You cooked a pre-made pizza. That's no test. Let's see the comparison with a real homemade pizza.

Tommy,,, don't know how I missed this yesterday ! But I did.. Better late then never !! Yea, really tommy better enlarge that outdoor kitchen. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA....

good review..like that turn table.. and who would have thought Walmart could rival the Ooni..NIICE!

I make lots of pizza from scratch and the expert grill stone will not retain heat. Everyone here will have a soggy and pale bottom

Ima thinkin the Walmart can hold a 15in. pie??. The others 12 or 13in??

Great test Tommy ! Learned a bunch ! thank you

The people that buy these pizza ovens will make a pizza from scratch, that is the real test. Store bought frozen pizza is meant to be prepared in your home oven. Do NOT buy one of these real pizza ovens if frozen pizza is all you are going to prepare with it. Factory made, store bought crap will not magically become good if you cook it in an expensive oven. One of the most ridicules videos I have ever seen. Also, if you want to heat up some frozen TV Dinners, do not buy a $5000 smoker for them, that will not help, just like this stupid crap.

Great comparison Tommy! I've been thinking about the Cuisinart 3 in 1 pizza oven . It's just a bit more than the Expert Grill but has a griddle, pizza stone and grill grates. Great video! Cheers!

nice. thank you for sharing

Today, Walmart has theirs on sale for $97.

Great comparison Tommy! I picked the same one you did. I think Pitt Boss might be coming out with one that rotates! Love me some pizza! Cheers brother and have a great 4th!

The Ooni is designed to cook Neapolitan style pizza. Not frozen pizzas, Jesus. The temp needs to be 900+ for that. The pizza will cook in 90 seconds at that temp and must be rotated every 20 seconds or so or they will burn. The other two cannot cook Neapolitan style. Apples and oranges. If you know you know if you don’t you get frozen.

And again I am not a pizza maker. The honesty lol

Great video my man! I'm getting the Wal Mart oven, it looks legit for the price!

My OONI runs Best with PELLETS !!! Then LUMP , Then Briquets !!! with Pellets it will get hot enough to CLEAN the Ceramic Plate !!!

Great review.. I have the walmart one. I like it alot.. I have cooked I bet 15 pizzas. Only bad part is regular pizza places I can't eat at anymore.. unless they have a real brick oven.. like pizzza pizzara in lake havasu

Thanks for the review!

I just bought my Expert (Wally World) Pizza oven for $70 on an end of season sale....best deal going.

I have the Maximus Authentic Pizza oven..Its extremely pricey but i love it!

You're really shooting yourself in the foot by using frozen pizzas. Nobody buys a stove like this to cook frozen pizza.

What about the Stoke pizza oven?

I mean no offense but did you use frozen pizzas? Those pizzas do not let the pizza ovens shine at allllll. As a home cook I make the dough myself and that’s the minimum I’d expect when spending up to $400 on a pizza oven

Hummmmmm learning Curve, I'd rather see a review with a Pizza Expert. But i like the effort.

Terrible review for the following reasons: 1)Evaluates frozen pizzas...horrible..Those pizzas are not made for high heat ovens..just home ovens. 2) Uses the wrong fuel. Ooni specifically reccomends hardwood coal chunks vs briquettes as they state the oven will not perform well with briquettes. Plus comparing to pellets which burn hotter and faster..wrong. 3)The reviewer acknowledged that he is not a "pizza guy"..clearly displayed by throwing frozen pizzas in ovens designed to cook neapolitan pizzas (totally different). The best oven is the one he rated the worst. The Ooni, while having a small fuel basket is insulated and can maintain a high temperature without using too much fuel. If you are cooking neapolitan pizzas, this is the one you want.

I realize this is a older eval but the new Blackstone beats them all. Propane fueled and self rotation and 2 stones.

Thank you, this video was very helpful for me on purchasing the Walmart brand

Add pellets on top of the charcoal on the Walmart one and then it becomes better with a bigger cooking surface

Good advice on these ovens, thanks for the review

Which one has the biggest stone (i can put the biggest pie in)?

Completely bogus review. Can't believe the amount of people who fell for it.

I would suggest testing with fresh pizza. Those look frozen.

I just got the the Walmart oven. I'll let you know how my pizza comes out

Few more comments… The recovery time was way to long on the charcoal fuel ovens. Also, you cannot add charcoal to the Walmart oven. You can add with the OONI. LIke the pellets better and can continually fill.

Happy 4th Tommy! Great results couple questions first did you use "smoking pellets" or up north heating pellets in the Q? Second did Blackstone come out with a " kit" to modify a 22in griddle to pizza oven. I hear you great time to be a outdoor cook! ALWAYS appreciate you great videos

I’m surprised the ooni doesn’t have a back door to put the coal in.

Have you considered doing a comparison of the Char-griller vs one of these pizza ovens to see which is better?

Great vid Tommy! Always entertaining for sure…

Hey Tom. Get the Gozney Roccbox. It really does Rock

Are you using frozen pizza’s for test ? 😞

great comparison Tommy, I nearly bought the ooni however settled on the gmg pizza oven attachment. it fits into the firebox of my pitboss 850 and that stone gets to 800 degrees.

Thanks for the review on these ovens I bought a bighorn pizza oven about 9 months age and so far it works great takes about 20 min to heat up and gets over 850° the pizzas I normally use are the walmart deli ones it will fit a med pizzas and takes from 60-90 sec good job cheers🍺👍🔥

Thanks for your video, I'll buy Walmar one

You are brave for cooking a frozen pizza in these. The pizza community will come at you hard if they stumble upon this video. Try doing this test again making fresh pies. These oven’s add nothing to a frozen pizza that a normal oven could not do.

Walmart expert grill on rollback for $97!!!

love all the videos Tommy. I was interested in this video as I have been contemplating buying one, been cooking a lot of pizzas on the blackstone. but I think the blackstone will do just fine compared to these. haven't tried it yet on my masterbuilt 1080. any suggestions?

If you make home made pizza rather than frozen pizza you might get a different outcome

I have used my Akorn Kamado at 700º to cook pizza. I use the upper rack to get good radiant heat from the dome to cook the top properly. However, I have been watching videos of people using the GMC pizza attachment on pellet grills. You remove the grates and drip tray. The GMC pizza box is then placed directly over the firepot. Most people seem very happy with this device.

Why are you using frozen pizzas in a pizza oven??

Frozen pizzas???

Appreciate the honesty of your review.

Walmart is down to $97 and I got it for $82 today

I have the Ooni and watching some of the videos and if you would put a couple pieces of wood over the hot coals and 1 minute before you launch you pizza the fire rolls up over the pizza and cooks it in about 90 seconds. I have found lump gets hotter and faster than the briquettes also. When winter comes around none of them will stay hot enough to cook, except the Ooni if you invest in the gas attachment, that is a cold weather pizza machine.

Tommy, gave you a thumbs up for the video, great comparison, but my question is why? If you have a pellet grill, or a flat top pizza is incredible. These are such one trick ponies. After the time they take to come up to temp, we'd already be enjoying our pizza cooked on the flat top. Granted, the Recteq takes a bit of time to get to hell's fire temps, but I already have it, and don't need to fiddle with a firestarter.

If you only want to bake frozen pizza don't splash money on either of those in the video your oven in the kitchen will be just fine. :D

Picked this expert grill for $37 on clearance Sunday, cooked two steaks in 5 minutes, and three thick filet mignon in under ten minutes. OMG, grilling game changer..😍😍😍😍

No desire to buy a pizza oven. Last pizza I ate was 3 months ago lol. But you did a great review nice job.

Did you really cook frozen Pizza in these ovens? Wow

Hi Tommy, I like your style! Jersey boy for sure. Fourty years in the kitchen is nothing to sneez about. Your no nonsense reviews give us a real idea about these ovens are about. I got the Expert Grill at $97 and I don't see how you can beat that. They recommend using lump charcoal which heats up much faster. I love this portable oven and the fact that you can get charcoal in any corner of the world we can make great pizza anywhere 😊

Your using frozen pizzas

Frozen pizza why bother

Good review, but sounds like a creeper

Of these the Walmart one has the largest stone so it can make the biggest pizza. Making pizzas with wood or charcoal is a PITA, especially in these small ovens that don't have big fuel trays. Also, the cooks are so short you don't get any noticable flavor from wood or charcoal. IMHO propane's the way to go. I have an Ooni Karu 16, which is a big beast of an oven, and using wood or charcoal would still be kind of pain if I was trying to make more than 2 pizzas. Now if you just plan to make a single pizza and call it quits. Any of these would work well. There's quite the learning curve though. Small oven, tiny opening, and even with less heat you're still looking at a 4-5 minute tops bake. At 900f'ish, 60-90 seconds, and your crust can go from nice to BURNT TO HELL in a matter of 15 seconds if you're not careful. Meanwhile you can cook a rack of ribs anywhere from 5-6 hours and they'll still be delicious lol. Once you learn how to use a pizza oven you'll be in love. The pizzas I make that turn out just okay are still better than any pizza chain. I speak from experence, if you have a pit and a pizza oven and like to share, you'll be the most popular person in your neighbor without question lol.

Great video

I have the Walmart that I purchased for $95 rollback. I used it a couple times. Works great for the price. Next, I'd like to upgrade to a propane oven

Nice review! Love the comments especially the onni..owners when they try to validate the high price vs walmart ...haha..( buyers remorse)

You need to do a little more research, since you commented the the Qubestove was only rotating stone model you were aware of. I'm considering Halo's Versa 16" wtih battery powered (AC optional) rotating stone. It's relatively new so I'm giving it some time to see more owner feedback. Love to see an evaluation from you.

I got my Expert Grill Pizza Oven for $97 and for that extra savings, I'll turn my pizza manually!

SALE ALERT 7/26/22 IT's $97 right now!

Great review, unfortunately you couldn’t get a better result due to the pre made/ready made pizza (has lots of sugar) hence why all the pizzas got a little burnt Fresh made pizza doe (again not store bought pizza doe) would be the better result and would provide a better To compare ovens

How would you compare the Roccbox to these?

Pizza stone on Walmart's $97 Expert kettle grill. Boom! Done. Nothing to rotate because you spread the coals/wood evenly underneath to, get this, cook the pizza evenly. You can also make larger pizzas this way. A simple 22" kettle grill. A pizza stone. Use charcoal, add wood, or completely wood fire it if you like. You can crank out pizza after pizza if you're having a party and you don't have to have an extra contraption taking up real estate in your home/garage.

I have an ooni 12 Karu .. cooks well . I use charcoal then before I fly a pizza I out a handful of pellet grill pellets on the fire .. that seems to make the difference…

Man I may have to check that Wally World special out 😆

Hi Tommy, This was a real useful and informative comparison of the 3 ovens. I learned a lot, especially the idea of rotating the roasting pizza, I didn't see that coming. At some point in the distant future we'll have a pizza oven, my wife's been wanting one for years. Keep on cooking and teaching! Today, I'm cold smoking salmon and mullet. Mullet may be bait everywhere else, but smoked mullet is a native delicacy here in FL on the Gulf Coast. (And, its cheap only 4/lb at the fish market).

Keep up the good work Tommy! You can easily mod the Expert Grill to spin a stone. And it's now only 97$ Only one point lower than 300$ more, I give the nod to the Expert Grill.

For the price of the Expert Grill, I don't think you can beat it. Being able to put 15 inch pies in is a big win. Yeah, some things on it are cheap like the shell is not stainless. But at $140, think of the hacks and mods you can do? Rotisserie for another $30? I have been using a ceramic PitBoss, but when you use it to make other smoked meats, it will flavor the pizza. Any pizza oven in the $200 range is only 12". What were they thinking? Enter the Expert Grill. I bought it. I used it. It can make a great pizza. I wouldn't leave it out in the weather. I bet it will rust.

I agree with you , being first and owning the major share of the market the Ooni is no bueno. Plus it has the shortest legs . I love the turn feature on the Q and it has the tallest legs . Great comparison video Tommy.

GREAT REVIEW TOMMY MOUNT A ROTISSERIE MOTOR ON THE QUBESTOVE AND YOU WILL BE THE PIZZA MASTER

Just purchased my Walmart pizza oven today for $80.00. Cant wait to try it out.

I've heard nothing but good stuff about the Walmart "expert grill" oven. The design is better than units twice it's price. And for $97 on Rollback instead of normal $137, it's the best bang for the buck.

Great video tommy can u make wings in them happy 4th of July

Nice review! I don't own a pizza oven, I typically just use a Weber kettle. 👍😎🍻

I grabbed the Expert Grill oven at Walmart on clearance for $82. That is a definite no-brainer.

Thanks Tommy…. Enjoy the videos. The Walmart expert is down to $97… I used it for one cook and took it back. Recently got the Blackstone 22in griddle oven. It is awesome. I have multiple including a full wood burning oven.

Big time help here. I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on an outdoor pizza oven. This is giving me something to think about

I have a Ooni different model I love it I think they are made better hold very well the one has large fire basket but great video it gives people a choice keep them coming

I had no experience making pizza until I recently received an Ooni Karu as a gift and took it on a family camping trip. I used propane instead of wood and made approximately 20 pizzas. I got the stone up to about 920 degrees and the pizzas were done in about 90 seconds. Every video I have watched on the Ooni where wood/charcoal was used, they kept adding wood to the fire to get it hotter. I went the easy route of using propane.
