Inside the New Gozney Dome Gen 2 Range – Full Review & Buyer’s Guide

If you love great pizza, chances are you already know the name Gozney. Known for bringing restaurant-quality performance to the home cook, Gozney’s pizza ovens have built a cult following worldwide. Now, with the new Gozney Dome Gen 2 and Dome Gen 2 XL, the brand has levelled up again — offering more power, precision, and performance than ever before.

Whether you’re a seasoned pizzaiolo or just getting started in wood-fired cooking, this guide covers everything you need to know about both models — including features, size differences, and which one suits your setup best.

The original Gozney Dome was already a benchmark for hybrid pizza ovens — capable of wood, charcoal, or gas cooking, with a sleek, insulated design that made it as stylish as it was powerful.

The Gen 2 update refines every detail. Expect:

• Faster heat-up times – reaching 370°C 700°F) in 15-10 minutes, 450°C (850°F) in 40-45 minutes and up to 500°C (950°F) in 50-55 minutes for full heat saturation.

• Improved heat retention and airflow, thanks to upgraded insulation and venting.

• Enhanced digital temperature control, giving you more consistency when baking, roasting, or searing.

• Re-engineered stone floor for better heat recovery between pizzas.

• Hybrid fuel flexibility – switch between wood, charcoal, and gas with ease.

Perfect for passionate home cooks, the Dome Gen 2 brings commercial-grade results to your garden kitchen.

If you’ve ever wished for more cooking space, the new Dome Gen 2 XL answers that wish in style. Around 90 % larger inside than the original Dome, the XL model can handle:

• Up to three × 10″ pizzas at once, two 12” pizzas or one huge 18″ pizza.

• Multiple roasting trays for meats, vegetables, or bread.

• Family-size or entertaining-scale cooking with more headroom for cast-iron dishes or skillets.

Despite its size, the Dome XL maintains the same impressive temperature range (up to 500°C) and hybrid-fuel performance, so you can choose between smoky wood-fired flavour or clean, convenient gas cooking.

If you cook mainly for a couple or small family, the Dome Gen 2 will hit the sweet spot for size and ease of handling.

If you love entertaining or want the flexibility to bake multiple pizzas or larger dishes at once, the XL is the obvious upgrade

Both ovens feature Gozney’s signature reinforced body and triple-layer insulation, designed to lock in heat and withstand the elements. The new removable cordierite stone makes cleaning and maintenance simpler, while the improved airflow system helps you achieve even cooking across the entire floor.

Gozney’s design focus remains clear — premium performance, sleek modern styling, and a build quality worthy of restaurant use.

The Dome Gen 2 and Dome Gen 2 XL are true hybrid ovens, capable of running on wood, charcoal, or gas. You can start with wood for smoky flavour, then switch to gas for precise control and consistency. It’s ideal for anyone who wants both authenticity and convenience without compromise.

While they’re designed for perfect pizza, both Gozney Domes are far more versatile than most pizza ovens. Thanks to their temperature range and oven shape, you can:

• Roast meats or vegetables

• Bake bread and desserts

• Smoke fish or slow-cook stews

• Sear steaks on cast-iron pans

Your outdoor kitchen suddenly becomes a full-service restaurant.

The Gozney Dome Gen 2 and Dome Gen 2 XL represent the next evolution of high-performance outdoor cooking. They combine restaurant-level heat, hybrid fuel flexibility, and premium design in one stunning package.

In addition, there is a wide range of accessories that can be added to the Gozney Dome Gen 2 range, including stands, covers, oven doors and mantels etc.

Whether you want a compact, do-it-all pizza oven or a full-size centrepiece for entertaining, Gozney’s new generation has you covered.
