how good is the GOZNEY ROCCBOX pizza oven? (unboxing and test cook)

It's good. Today I’m going to unbox the Gozney Roccbox portable gas and wood fire pizza oven, fire it up and make a pizza.

The level of quality in this channel’s videos is so professional. I also love how Steve emphasizes safety in cooking - in prior videos he talks about the risks of mandolins, and here the danger of a hot oven on the ground and the need to properly drain the gas from the pipes. Having spent 20 years growing up in a professional kitchen, I can say that safety is the first lesson and one that most cooking shows ignore. What a throwback to a time when people actually cared about other people - thanks for your videos!

[@ıllıllııllıll]

How much?

[@benjaminwestfold5153]

Let's be real if they send you something free it is an add

[@shisul5813]

nah man

[@benjaminwestfold5153]

Don’t get me wrong love the channel. But receiving free things will always bias any review

[@tunguska-1454]

@@benjaminwestfold5153 ​ You're not wrong in that there's always an element of bias to watch out for (which can go both ways-people also often attempt to overcorrect for their bias and become unfairly critical as a result), but it's still an intrinsically different thing from being an actual advertisement, which involves a formal relationship with expectations to boot.

[@benjaminwestfold5153]

Tunguska - yeah I take your points here. Probably overstepped in saying it’s an add. But we seem to agree that it cannot be a fair unbiased review if you’ve been sent it for free

[@gregoryscott7088]

So where was the bias? We litterally watched him cook (& burn) a pizza. Someone please point out where the bias was in this review.

[@MindbodyMedic]

this is one of the most actually useful demos. a full setup demo is useful

[@ntq1ty]

Glad to see the Roccbox getting some love. Amazing product and pretty quick to get the hang of after making a few pizzas as you suggest. Slightly bizarre how the top two home pizza ovens, the Roccbox and the Ooni, are from the UK. Gozney have a good KZbin channel of their own with more recipes than just pizza. It's great for charring vegetables for example.

[@COOKINGFROMTHELOFT]

Yo! Steve! That burn spot is just character! :-)

[@jayevan_photography]

Right! Keepin it real. Hard to manage that camera and pizza together 😅

[@edmondgiraud4203]

basil AFTER cookinggggg

[@mrjamesgrimes]

Relax

[@jadens4750]

POV: You’re coming from Babish’s channel about the OONI pizza oven

[@suzanak5197]

And by that logic they are both coming from Kenji's channel who uses them for eons...

[@n473-w3m]

so many times this happened. i remember once joshua weissman, binging with babish, adam ragusea, and not another cooking show all made ice cream or something in the same week

[@SentryxVoid]

Hey at least they are different brands, idk if you guys follow tech channels but dyson once had like 10 different channels upload a sponsored vid on the same day at the exact same time lmao

[@VansGoodEats]

And by that... they all came from my page as I was one of the first to post the uuni oven before they rebranded as OONI. Just saying. 🤣 love all these guys!

[@DucNguyen-bd5ir]

You know that OONI carpet bomb all the major youtubers. I am guessing ROCCBOX carpet bombed what was left of the first tier in this category and those who haven't done open boxes yet. Still it is always good to see these things in action to compare them to one another. They aren't cheap ... they are like 350 to 800 depending on model and function.

[@Marx-Lennon]

Always love the content from this channel. Also has the best music of any cooking channel on the tubes. Mad respect my guy.

[@joshuabartolomeo1175]

I have had the onni oven for a few years absolutely love it. NIce looking pie despite the burns!

[@simwilliams5358]

Like how your music adds to your video but does not over power it

[@terrythechocolateorange3246]

Your videos are always so soothing ❤️

[@mh-rl3tn]

not related to your cooking, but I've always enjoyed your bg music! (your cooking presentation is awesome btw)

[@hoder4857]

I used to live in Long Island and it's my first time hearing someone go in Stew Leonard's. Glad to see someone is near someone from where I was from

[@ShawnBauer]

"This isn't an ad or anything"... lol Looks like a great product though, a little pricey at $500. You mentioned gas and "wood" fired pizza oven? I'd really like to see the "wood" option and how well that performs

[@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

I need to get my hands on the wood burner for sure.

[@om1701d]

It's a great oven. I chose it over the ooni because it's better insulated. Wood is more problem than it's worth. It cooks too fast to taste the wood.. it's only good if you're going camping or something similar. It's heavy also. Like 40-50lbs. Quality oven.

[@adarateranroldan]

There’s a dual burner option now

[@ettiene750]

We got our roccbox in August. It took a couple weeks to get the cooking down. We are loving it. We do pizza at least once a week.

[@69Phuket]

An interview with Tom Grozny on BBC Radio 4 brought me here. His story from being on drugs and drink. Broke and now not exactly rich, rich. But rich enough... If I had an outside garden apart from a small balcony. I'd have one already! ;)

[@OnMyFingerTips]

I absolutely love my Roccox! Making pizza every weekend.

[@xKonscious]

I’m more confused with how the hell you have a backyard so big in nyc. Mind you I’m aware of townhouse backyards in Harlem and they are not this spacious. Put me on

[@bensumerau]

That’s what I’m sayin 😭

[@myrnajay2785]

I've thought this myself lol ; )

[@earlystrings1]

Konscious Brooklyn? No way that’s Manhattan.

[@xKonscious]

Thomas Mace i don’t know about bk either. Queens possibly but I’m waiting to make sure

[@fmahaha]

Pretty sure he lives in Rochester, NY. Not NYC

[@jorgensen8]

I've been assembling the ingredients on the peel for a year or more now. Works great. But I found my wooden peel works a lot better than my metal one. Somehow the flour/semolina mix seems to get into the pours and I've never has a pizza stick since. Of course my turning peel is metal.

[@tonsofbricks1]

Thanks for showing how to put it together so I don't have to read the instructions I can just come back to this video 👌🏾

[@SewnathGreedharry]

It's an amazing oven. Love the high quality and ease of use.

[@om1701d]

I have this oven. You should build the pizza on wood and then drag it onto the metal included peel. It has holes in it so the flour falls through.. too much flour on the bottom leads to burns.

[@Birken87]

This is it! The perfect time for my two current favorite food channels to make something together! You have to hit up "Alex, French guy cooking" for some pizza co-op. Don't let the French part fool you, this man has broken down pizza as much as possible.

[@Maverick9110E]

Alex is freaking awesome!

[@IkeCarterShow]

this is the first video from your channel that has let me down.

[@Timmycoo]

Yay! I've been following their channel for a while and they cook a bunch of different things on it and I love how portable it is with how high heat it gives. Great to see one of my fav cooking channels to post a review!

[@michaelspiotta927]

Lower the gas just before putting the pie in. That will give you an unburned top with a crispy crust!

[@luceaschild]

YAAASSS! More pizza! WIll you be getting the wood fire attachment?! So interested in a review of that.

[@EricLeafericson]

Oooo, wood fire?! That's really cool, I might just buy one now. Thanks for the tip!

[@earlystrings1]

Wow, how cool that my Roccbox arrived a week before yours, so your video is right on the mark. I agree these ovens are awesome. My takeaway so far is that heating it on full blast for 45 minutes gets it too hot and you'll burn the bottom of your za before the top is finished. Heating on medium plus gas and cooking when the stone temp hits the bottom of the dark orange range seems bang on. I'm using it in Colorado, about a mile in the air, so that might affect the heating, but it's sweet and works like a charm. The fam is already getting pizza'd out but not me.

[@rocker4life989]

A little char is perfect in my opinion. That’s a perfect pizza. 👍👍🤘🤘

[@AZD2169]

You have the best cooking tutorials.

[@brianspitznagel8685]

Thank you for the safety tips in use. Looks fun.

[@thegee-tahguy4877]

I love blast furnace pizza. I enjoy having too much heat rather than not enough and learning exactly when to reposition and pull it out. I like burnt crust too, not everywhere, but some. That one you cooked was perfect for me.

[@mangiawithmatteo]

Ohh that’s Yonkers baby! I go to Stews all the time, and I have an Ooni oven, I absolutely love it.

[@reginaolvera76]

We got this oven! Gonna try it out! Thanks for the video.

[@JRBodnar]

Hey can you do an update on this oven if you still have it I looked to see if I could find another video using it thanks in advance

[@CutlooseCutandCook]

bro... your gonna love this thing!. i use it all the time.

[@BigPaulOnTheGrill]

I have a roccbox on the way so pumped. I noticed my local Stews / Homedepot in the backround. Im in Scarsdale. Great video

[@slackerzsincity8822]

After a couple of burnt pizza , I notice it burns the pizza. I tried 500 degrees doest cook the bottom well enough. Its disappointing that you need to modify the back burner with some kind flame tamer. Once i did that the pizza started to come out like a local pizzeria joint.

[@jeannecooke4862]

Some Good Dreams, do come true! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your video!

[@payasofeo69]

Hope they fully sponsor another video. What you did there for “free” ( you got an oven) is really nice. Hope they appreciate and other brands notice your professionalism and brings you more $. Great video like always.

[@joemancini2988]

Il Maestro del forno. Hey I saw my name Michael grazie.

[@hom296]

I have a small problem. After I snapped on the burner and turned the Roccbox back on its legs...if I have the propane tank on the LEFT side...those weight of the cord pulls on the burner and it's snaps right off and falls on to the table. (it's not a real tight fit) I can remedy the situation by putting the propane tank on the right side but this seems a little micky-mouse.

[@ms.porter8866]

That’s my old Stewies. Great oven for pizza party! 💋

[@George-on5hi]

That is awesome 😮

[@foulwin9719]

With an hour to warm up how many pizzas could you make with 1 tank of propane?

[@GiuseppeBasile]

Your video editing is getting crazy good, looking forward to the next upload.

[@ollienarvaiz3351]

i love this blog style video u got goin on with the stores and everything

[@didriketholm6852]

I got a roccbox a few months ago and I love it! I burned my fair share of pizzas as well. I'd love a video once you have this dialed in. Thanks!

[@DucNguyen-bd5ir]

You just loving that slice is just a great closing shot.

[@charlieecho230]

Nice video brotha!

[@felipetejeda7545]

They sent you the oven, but it's not an ad? Dude c'mon, hahah great video though.

[@wolfingitdown2047]

Thinking about getting one of these for my dad for Christmas to try and transport him back to his days growing up in France with their food oven pizzas :D

[@polaroidjay]

I still use your grandma pie video as reference when I’m making sheet pan pies, but man, this video is making me wanna buy one of these ovens.

[@powerbookg4apple]

Wow I love this was torn with the ooni pizza oven but I’m having one of these love it

[@joephillips8866]

Wonder if you turn off oven when it reaches a high temperature then bake pizza it wouldn't burn look at one of this yesterday

[@chemclimber]

Hard work pays off, great to see you getting some good sponsorships!

[@julia8147]

i grew up in the state of connecticut and let me assure you, stew leonard's is the best thing about this state

[@AndrejLittle]

Dope video thanks

[@mjohnsimon1337]

My question; can you make anything other than pizza or broiling meats? Like, can you bake things like bread in a low flame / temp?

[@Idries11]

Yeah you can! Check out the Gozney KZbin page. There are some great recipes on there that aren’t pizzas

[@benslease]

That new Gozney Dome looks dope!

[@yogevgershon3424]

This isn't an ad, they just brought you something for free and now youre doing a positive video about it... Jimmy from South Park would say this is an ad

[@afraid2fart598]

Rocbox is awesome because of the thermometer under the stone and it was first with the propane gas option! Yes you need to heat a pizza oven up for an hour! I’ve cooked maby a thousand pizzas on mine over the past few years. Bring on the Dome!

[@Bigheadedwon]

You absolutely don't need to heat it for an hour. If you crank it all the way up your stone and the roof will reach max temp in 20-25 minutes. Preheating for an hour's just wasting propane. I have an Ooni Kodi, which people say has less insulation than this one. After 25 minutes it's not gonna get any hotter, it's just wasting time and propane. I use an IR gun to check all spots inside it, there's zero difference in mine after 20'ish minutes. If you're somewhere where it's freezing cold you might need an extra 10 minutes max to get it to max temp. After an hour I can have 10 pizzas already made.

[@Gadgetman529]

The burning was your fault due to not watching 😁, you need a Turner and not use the peel or they get too hot and you can't apply the next dough. Most pizza is cooked between 60-90 seconds turning regularly......excellent ovens

[@JudithLou]

The burned spot is the best part! I wanted to jump through the screen and grab that out of your hand.

[@urrdde]

Can’t wait to see more pizza videos!

[@imthesparkman]

Great video and entertaining as well !!

[@myrnajay2785]

Checked out Gozney's website yesterday. Looks like a great product. Hope to see you do a handful of pizza episodes.

[@teop7887]

Awesome, should do a comparison between the Gozney and the Ooni Karu or the Pro Ooni Karu not as expensive

[@RumandCook]

Part of cooking is playing and learning new toys. Looks good! Need to try a wood pellet addon if they have it for improved flavor.

[@jasonsimon3046]

def seems like a sick product but for average consumers and cooks its a luxury item

[@Julien-bt7fd]

Dude, agein those fingers ... I fully understand the new things, you have to play around with at the beginning, to get to know them better .... Bdw. Pizza seems to be good

[@carolyns6434]

Haha you live by me!! Love this video !

[@richardfabrizio8998]

Nice Stevie. Looks like a winner

[@chadb1103]

Making your chicken parm tonight, so excited!

[@paulwagner688]

I'd love to see different crust experiments--Chicago tavern style, New York, maybe a pan style, who knows?

[@ethekiller6235]

That's nice

[@denbo74]

Lots of people are buying pizza ovens like this. Let’s see some authentic Italian pizza styles !!!

[@slackerzsincity8822]

1hr later sheez should be 10mins this changed my mind

[@trangthihuyenpham]

works great perfect !

[@heisen187]

whats the max size pizza you can make in this? I really want something that can cook around 12" prefer 16"

[@demonsaint1296]

That mozzarella is absolute magic.

[@Ragazzoedimburgo]

Bravo

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Steve. Very interesting product!

[@blanksender7808]

That IR thermometer doesn't provide an accurate reading at the angle that you tried to use it at. Ideally perpendicular to the heated surface gives the best results.

[@ms.porter8866]

Do you think you’d use this vs a pizza stone if making one pizza?

[@truenorthmuskoka9077]

does the front of the unit turn black or discolour at all after several uses

[@randomdudefpv4927]

Why not to use it indoors? Like under kitchen hood?

[@DanliciousFood]

My hand's up! I volunteer to be one of your victims to eat pizza!

[@Oarschkrapfa]

Nice Mercedes ;)

[@slizzynguyenner6442]

Is this still your fave pizza oven. Need to move on one for Fathers Day

[@vaporwareproducts]

Get a Terraforno oven, they are fantastic and real!

[@likestoospooge]

I’m looking forward to more pizza episodes! I have to say though, I doubt the PR guy that gave you that oven was too stoked you showed off a burnt pizza. 🤣

[@natalietamar]

Steve, can you share recommendations/details for the mozzarella di bufala that you import from Italy? 😍

[@NinjaMonkeyPrime]

Wow, I haven't seen Stew Leonard's in a long time. Nice review. I'm tempted by the new Dome they released but doesn't seem like they are prepared to supply them anytime soon.

[@nysavvy9241]

Hi Steve..loved this video. Classical music which I know..maybe from the Nutcracker..not sure. Would love to see how the wood burner works. By the way... I love apple cider doughnuts too. Bought six last week and finished them in two days. Felt so guilty but seeing you eat them, I don't feel guilty anymore..LOL

[@pushpenderkheriboora3675]

Which flour is good for making pizza?

[@wefilmfood4033]

Great video my pizza came out like yours. My question is did the pizza come out puffy because you didnt wait for the dough to ferment. Also i burned mine too. That thing is hot asf!

[@Fbelsuzarri]

How long do you have to wait for it to reach 300 degrees

[@roccosdough]

I have a quick question, does the stone move a little bit inside your oven? I thought it was sealed down but it may move a little.. I think that is normal but just wanted to check.. Thanks...

[@weisserTV]

Good job man!

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

You just seem like the coolest friend.
