I find this is too small to be useful as a pizza oven. By the time you push the coals aside, there is only enough room for a small single pizza. I also haven’t figured out how to avoid having ash all over my crust since there isn’t much room to brush the ash aside. We use it just for fires on our deck and I do like that it contains the fire well to reduce the risk of sparks getting on our deck. If you are looking for an actual pizza oven, get something larger.
