Why Spring Is The Perfect Time To Pick Up a Gozney Arc Lite Pizza Oven

I know what you’re thinking – spring feels too early for many of us to brave the backyard and outdoor kitchens. But with 'summer-like' conditions forecast across much of the West Coast, according to CNN, it could be the perfect time to invest and get some practice in before the busy summer months.

Pizza ovens are in high demand during the alfresco hosting season, so buying now makes sense to avoid missing out. Trust me: This is shaping up to be the must-have appliance for turning your backyard into the ultimate entertaining space.

We haven’t had the chance to test the latest Gozney Arc Lite ourselves yet, but we reviewed the original Gozney Arc – and fell in love. Our expert reviewer, Laura Honey, who has cooked over 150,000 pizzas in her six years as a pizzaiolo, called the Arc 'the perfect pizza oven for anyone new to al fresco cooking. The simple gas controls take all the guesswork out of cooking, while still delivering precise temperatures and incredible results.'

She put Gozney through its paces, cooking everything from traditional pizza to chicken and even brownies. It’s the ideal choice for an indulgent Easter weekend.

As for the Lite model, it is a smaller, more compact pizza oven compared to the original Arc, and is designed for smaller spaces and home cooks on a budget. The customer reviews speak for themselves.

On Amazon, it has an average of 4.7 stars, with one satisfied user, Jean-François, describing the oven as 'indispensable and addictive.'
