I spent a long time researching outdoor pizza ovens and kept going back and forth between an Ooni at about half the cost and the Gozney Dome Gen 2. I came across BBQ Generals while trying to find a better price since I was already pushing my budget. They offered a 10% military discount, which I really appreciated, and I also didn’t have to pay sales tax. That ended up saving me over $500 on the full purchase.
Delivery
Delivery went smoothly overall. I placed the order on April 1st and it arrived April 9th. The delivery company called ahead and gave me a time window, which I liked since it’s curbside delivery and I didn’t want it left out on the street. The only hiccup was the driver almost unloading it at my neighbor’s house, but I caught it in time. Everything arrived well packaged, in good condition, and nothing was missing.
Assembly
Assembly was mostly straightforward, but not perfect. I had a tough time attaching the top of the stand because a couple of the bolt holes just would not line up, and a few others were pretty stubborn. Getting the oven onto the stand is definitely a two person job. It’s heavy, the stand is tall, and the lift is awkward. I was a little surprised that the oven is secured to the stand by just a single bolt in the center, but it seems solid. I also added the dome mantel, which was simple and only took a couple of bolts. Overall, the process was still fairly easy.
Cooking
I have not made a pizza yet, just ran it to burn off the factory oils, but I have no doubt it’s going to make great pizza.
Box has been opened before so hopefully everything is good. Glad I got the insurance in case its not. Other than that good price and fast shipping. Wish they would have offered a carrying tote bag for it also but they dont and other co.oanys out there do.
cannot review as it has not been delivered yet, even though it says it was.
I actually was sent the wrong model. All my paperwork and your emails have the right model number, but I was sent the wrong one. Melissa called her supplier they insisted they were the same so I had to email pictures to prove the 2 models are clearly different. Still waiting for a response from melissa.
The griddle was packaged extremely well.
