- Materials: The use of heat-resistant materials such as stainless steel and special refractory stones contributes to the longevity and efficiency of the oven.
- Accessories: Some gas pizza ovens offer additional accessories to further enhance the results.
Conclusion: Gas-fired pizza ovens are a fantastic choice for pizza lovers who value speed, precision, and eco-friendliness.
