I also belong to a pizza forum and at the beginning of the summer there was a post about a new oven that was supposed to get up to 700 degrees (actually gets hotter
). It was called a patio oven but looked like geared towards cooking pizza. One of the problems with cooking pizza outside in grill setups is that the top doesn't cook well and the bottom usually gets done before the top. Plus, to get neapolitan style pizza you need a much hotter oven. There was a lot of back and forth, it looked cheap, how could it be any good. A few people ordered them and the interest really took off. There were some setbacks and issues with construction - broken stones, leg tubes that were dented, turntable rods not straight but the company has been taking care of them. I bought mine online had a broken stone, bent turntable and the dented tube. I fixed the tube and was sent replacement parts without question. I was even sent a peel for my troubles. This oven is not a wood fired oven but does a great job for the price. I'm easily getting 800-850 degrees without cranking it all the way.
I don't have a picture on my computer but here is the link to the product

so far I have done at least 30 pizzas and am still on the same tank of gas. I have done two bakes where I have done 9 pizzas in a row , I think both in under 2 hours. This thing can crank out some pizzas.
