[@vitoiacopelli]

your vote of my HONEST review??

[@AmirhoseinHerandy]

Great, thank you.

[@maxxes]

looks good, putting a Biscotto di sorrento instead in of the floor it comes with might give it that extra quality!

[@simonaudet1107]

Great as usual!!

[@juriesser9607]

Loved it! Fun fact: just hours before you uploaded the video I searched if you have a video with the gozney arc and found nothing. Now I found this video 😃

[@michaelrogers9971]

Pretty good y'all just look good on camera for 300 on BBQ bros they have one that looks like this but the stone auto rotate and has a burner under the stone

My favorite pizza chef reviewing a new pizza oven 😍 Thanks for the video 👍

[@TheSebastinio]

Thank you for your great Video!!! Could you inform us whether there are any changes in color on the outside of the oven? It appears in the video that there are slightly different colors on the left and right sides of the oven.

[@herbie759]

I always enjoy your videos and have learnt a lot from you , your the best good buddy. If I was going to buy a Gozney which one do u recommend

[@tcbtcb]

Great review. At that cooking temp really need a Biscotto floor = 10/10. thanks for the review Vito.

[@SBoots29]

I have a wood fired oven and would not give up. However, if I lived in an apartment with balcony or a small house with back yard this does look like something I would purchase.

[@noelhayes1113]

That's the benefit of the dome over this one. you can utilize multiple sources. wood, gas, or propane?

[@steffenstorck4543]

I like that it is placed between the roccbox and the dome. The dome is way too expensive for us, but the arc might be the way to go!

[@lilbigvince1976]

Fantastic review. Thank you Vito

[@vitoiacopelli]

Glad you liked it!

[@MrDingleberry31]

Great review. Looks like a outstanding product

Back to basics, back to our favorite format... To home videos with gas/wood ovens and not industrial electric super professional ovens. Great to see you back again Vito!

[@dejandejan903]

For a small pizza catering of 60-70 pizzas maximum, which oven would you recommend? Two Gozney Roccoboxes, Gozney Arc XL, Pizza Party Emozione, or some other? The Gozney Arc XL has a very large opening, and I'm afraid it will lose a lot of heat, and I'm not sure how it will perform after baking several dozen pizzas!

[@VeeVaa1966]

@Vito - On your next review, please make 3x 12” pizzas in a row and compare the under crust to find the recommended heat recovery time between pizzas.

[@vitoiacopelli]

Yes I’m planning too

[@Scheny-Dev]

Yes, please do that!! Even with more pizzas, like 5-6 if you can. Could we use this oven for a pizza truck for example? Thanks!!

[@donmaclaren4409]

[@Chefstefb]

The ovens are great. But keep in mind he gets all these ovens for free. So how would you know if its genuine? Obviously he's not going to bag the hell out of it after getting a free oven

[@peterhast]

Looks great, I have a gozney dome and I love it.

[@DKTD23]

The sensor probe is underneath the stove, pretty good idea by Gozney!

[@Joe-kt8nt]

I was hoping you’d be reviewing this

[@MrMizat03]

I'd like to know this compared to the dome, and if it burns more or too intense in the arc vs the dome. Essentially, did this replace the dome s1, or is it more between a dome s1 and a karu 16? Also did it retain water? Smaller ovens I find retain water in the dough after cooking versus a heavier oven that evaporates the water so it's more bready and less watery.

[@johndilella5765]

Great video. Congratulations to Gozney for making this new ARC pizza oven. I have the Dome and most often do not use the wood option.

[@tammyivanoff6574]

Same here, I’m super happy with the I get from gas and it’s fast to reach higher temperatures

[@JohnSchiavoneJrBSEERN]

Another amazing video, Vite!!

[@DIYGarageBars]

Great review video of the @gozney. Thank you

[@DrChopz]

Thanks you Vito. Because of your earlier videos I bought a Gozney Dome. Now I am making my own pizzas and they are tasty.

[@shayuzan4838]

Hi vito, do you think that the space is large enough to do other dishes besides pizza? Like fish and meat? Cus in the ooni we it is hard to do so

[@MrW1nkster]

Hi Vito, how would you compare to the dome, what are the benefits if any of the dome, for the extra money.

[@raubunuluratul]

Just a few minutes before I saw your video I was thinking about how to use some rehydrated black fungus mushroomsb and zaatar mix for my pizza.🤔

Keep it outside with the videos, they are great, more wood and fire ovens, love it when you do reviews and with the basics that made you great. Keep it up!!!

[@shawnkay5462]

Vito have you ever thought of visiting Lucali in NYC and doing a recipe/how to video

[@sandymarino5319]

When they come out with Dual-Fuel version in between the Arc XL and the Dome, I'm buying.

[@umka7536]

Vito, thanks a lot for bringing sun and smile and good mood! Soft and crunchy! 👍

[@Joe-kt8nt]

Vito would prefer this or the dome?

Diavola pro 2.0 review maybe and some recipe for that oven for neapolitan style ? ❤

[@tammyivanoff6574]

Wishing I had waited to buy my pizza oven! This looks amazing

[@stephentrovato6895]

How does this compare to the G dome? Is the dome worth the extra money or is better to go with the arc?

[@jgallimore4]

Vito, good video! I have 2 questions, 1. would this oven work as well for New York style thin pizza? 2. are those burn marks on the top left and right of the oven or was this just a reflection? Thanks

[@mattwalz8011]

I’d like to see a comparison of the Dome and ArcXL.

[@JonCausithONS]

For the 12” pizza, it gets a 9.5 for me - the oven cooked the pizza absolutely beautifully! The oven cooking the 16” pizza honestly gets between an 8.2-8.6. The fact that it’s wide enough to fit such a beast of a pizza is awesome, but it does require some work to cook it all around and by then things get a little too charred here and there. From the looks of things, it’s best to cook 10” to 14” pizzas in that oven, nothing more than 14 for the sake of comfort and efficiency. Overall, great oven and an incredible showcase of the pizza cooking! Also, great to see Vincent Ramos joining in to help again! 😁

[@vitoiacopelli]

Agree 100% with you

[@dejandejan903]

For pizza catering, Gozney Roccobox vs Gozney Arc? Honestly? I see many comments that Roccobox better maintains temperature after baking a larger number of pizzas in succession!

[@jeffreyschmidt3997]

Perhaps at a lower temp there would have been less charring?

[@dejandejan903]

​@@vitoiacopelliFor a small pizza business, would two Gozney Roccoboxes or two Gozney Arc 14s be better? Honestly? For 50-60 pizzas?

[@UY_pdr2020]

​@@jeffreyschmidt3997I have a roccbox and happened the same with the 12" as with the 16" in the Arc. If the dough gets too near the flame, where que floor is hotter, you get that bottom charred from time to time. So, as you both said, the Arc is ideal for 12 to 14", as you can launch them near the right side, and cook it much better

[@r.medrano1593]

Thanks Vito! I've been very curious about this pizza oven. There's a few others I'm looking into, but this was super helpful! Wish you would do another cookoff comparison video!

[@stinkybips]

Would really like to know about the discoloration of the top on first use already. Is this wipeable or permanent?

[@riseevil7131]

The man, the legend in person whom his recipe is so simple, yet very delicious. Great oven you're reviewing, it makes me in awe to see a marvel like this one. This is a great review, it makes me want to buy one like this one! I wonder if they have a wood/charcoal version for those who prefer not using propane though.

[@vitoiacopelli]

Wow, thank you!

For woodfire you will need to get the Dome or you can get an attachment for the roccbox.

Excellent Vito!!!

[@munrorobertson]

I think what everyone is thinking is: will you do a Dome vs Arc comparison?

[@piffpiffpiffpiff]

it's more like the Ooni koda 16, the dome is till the boss of all ovens in my opinion.

[@DIREKT991]

Looks like amazing oven!

[@theycallmeryann]

The Ooni Koda's biggest drawback for me is that its extremely finicky in windy conditions, because the flame keeps blowing out. How does the Gozney Arc compare on this?

[@Maido22]

hey Vito, help, does it matter which way the pizza is topped later? or does the top have to be on top later? It's always different in your videos. Only when stretching do you always say from the top.

[@caburtnett1980]

Should I ferment the poolish longer or the whole dough when I put them together?

[@jeffchabotte]

Love your videos! I laughed at the title because in the USA, ' means feet. So I was like "wow! A 14 foot (4.2672m) oven!! One question for you or anybody.. I've been using your 100% Poolish recipe since I discovered it. Does anyone have recommendations for the size of the dough balls to make a 14" (35.56cm) pizza that doesn't leave too much dough at the crust? I've been trying 16oz and 14oz and it still leaves a doughy crust.

[@Bastiaan-qb9yy]

Dear Vito, have you ever used the Spice Electronics Diavola Pro 2 pizza oven? What do you think of it, if not, would you be able to review it?

[@curtisimo032]

It looks like the paint on the front is turning brown after just the first preheat. Am I seeing this correctly? That's not a good sign because that paint will eventually crack and chip off, then the top will corrode.

[@bensherliker]

Looks very good and good value. Do you know what the stone is made of ? It looked a little bit burnt underneath with the stone at 900 F. I went from a normal (corderite?) stone to a thick clay biscotto/saputo stone and it was a lot less burnt underneath at high temperatures > 800 F. As far as I know, neapolitan ovens use biscotto as it absorbs steam and doesnt burn as quickly. So either cooking a slightly lower temperature might be necessary, or maybe someone will make a saputo stone that fits (would be very expensive) . Or maybe it is just a little charred underneath but didn't taste burnt.

[@donmaclaren4409]

as the Gozney web site states, it's cordierite

[@bensherliker]

@@donmaclaren4409 thanks. I don't imagine they will make a biscotto replacement. Anyway , I'm sure cooking at a slightly lower stone temp would be ok

[@shadyarockstheworld]

i was praying you would do a review for gozney

[@bartesler5262]

Awesome video as always, and a good review. I have a question about the dough I make at home. The process Poolish - 24 hours. Making the dough and put in fridge - 24 hours. Making the balls - 24 hours. So total 72 hours. 70% hydration. I noticed that the balls after these hours at the fridge become super elastic and you can’t stretch it, because the dough is naturally stretched without no effort, but it makes it hard to work with. I also noticed, in the same process, 2 hours before I make the pizza, I re-ball the ball I made it becomes strong and easier to work but still soft and crunchy. Can you help me understand what is the problem with my first method?

[@Chzydawg]

It might be overproofed. I would suggest making the dough the same day you make the pizza. I do 100% poolish 24-48 hours in advance, then about 4-5 hours before I want to make the pizza I will start making the dough. I've not had a problem with my method yet. I do a little lower hydration too (66-68%)

[@masoudtorabi3661]

How does it compare to the Dome? What about Ooni Karu 16?

[@pietrobruzzaniti1655]

Ciao Vito,bel video.. Stavo pensando di prenderne 2 per fare piccoli catering..Ho dei dubbi che non riuscirebbero a cuocere le pizze bene dopo la quarta o quinta pizza,specialmente la pietra sotto perderebbe calore troppo velocemente..Che ne pensi ?

Both are good, only drawback from the roccbox is that you don’t see the crust side pointing the flame. Therefore the arc is imo a good follow-up. What are you planning to do with the oven ? Start a business ?

I'm interested in comparing the Gozney Arc and Gozney Arc XL for pizza businesses and catering. Does the Arc hold temperature better and recover faster than the Gozney Arc XL? Also, comparing the Gozney Arc versus the Gozney Roccbox for business, with a bit more focus on the business vibe. Most reviews are geared towards home use and regurgitating data, without real restaurant experience. Even people buying for home use find added value knowing it can be used for commercial purposes. That's why everyone is asking for a comparison between the Gozney Roccbox and Gozney Arc!

It's possible he left too much flower on the bench, it stuck to the dough and caught fire in the oven. The deck shouldn't have been hot enough to burn the dough normally. I do pizzas all the time in my dome with woodfire getting the floor to 400-450C and it doesn't burn.
