Cheaper pizza ovens: premium picks and their alternatives

Most outdoor pizza ovens reach the same top heat; what separates them is plainer. How big a pizza fits, how heavy the oven is when you carry it to the table, whether it burns wood or charcoal as well as gas, and how thick the stone is that holds the heat between pizzas.
