Upgrade Studio · Pizza Night at Home

Good dough. Great company. Your place.

Start with the oven you own, move to a dedicated outdoor station, or add cooking space for regular hosting. Each tier changes the setup—not the need to learn your dough and watch the heat. All linked items are separate purchases.

Our starting pick: Starter first. Move outdoors when pizza night becomes a habit and you have a suitable open-air location.

Three alternative setups. Choose one direction; you do not need to buy all three. Furniture, décor and everyday supplies shown in the artwork are not included.

Concept artwork illustrates the experience, not an exact product or included bundle. Current prices are shown by the linked retailers.

01 / Starter

Upgrade the oven you already own.

AI-generated setup concept; equipment is illustrative.
Best forSmall kitchens, renters and first-time pizza makers.
What changesA baking steel and peel turn an existing oven into a better pizza workspace.

A baking steel stores heat for the pizza base. The wooden peel helps launch the dough, while a scale makes the next batch repeatable. Start with smaller pies while learning to launch and retrieve them.

Spend on: The baking surface and handling tools. Skip the dedicated oven until you know this is a habit.

Still needed / check before buying

A compatible home oven, heat-resistant mitts, mixing bowl, ingredients, a cutter and a suitable retrieval tool. Confirm the rack can support the steel.

Know before you commit: The Original Baking Steel is heavy and stays hot long after cooking. Follow the manufacturer’s placement and preheating guidance, let it cool in place and keep it dry to prevent rust.

Make the patio your pizza place.

AI-generated setup concept; equipment is illustrative.

What changesA dedicated gas oven, purpose-sized stand and placement peel.

Build the Arc station from three separate purchases: the 14-inch Arc propane oven, its compatible stand and a 14-inch placement peel. Prepare toppings before lighting the oven so the cook can stay with it. The linked oven finish is Off Black.

Spend on: The oven and a stable, compatible stand. Add a turning peel and weather protection as your routine develops.

03 / Premium

Give pizza night a bigger stage.

AI-generated setup concept; equipment is illustrative.
Best forRegular hosts who want more cooking space.
What changesThe larger Arc XL chamber with a separate stand and 14-inch placement peel.

The Arc XL’s larger chamber gives more turning room around a 14-inch pizza. The oven is rated for pizzas up to 16 inches, but the linked peel is 14 inches: this shopping list is sized for 14-inch pies. To use the full 16-inch capacity, you would need a separately verified larger peel. You still cook one pizza at a time.

Spend on: Cooking space, stability and prep flow. Do not confuse a larger oven with hands-off cooking.

View on Amazon →
Still needed / check before buying

Compatible propane, gloves, prep containers, board, cutter and ingredients. Cover and turning peel are separate purchases. The linked 14-inch peel is not a full-size 16-inch launch tool. Leave room for safe movement around the station.

Know before you commit: Plan the location before delivery. Follow the current manual for clearances and fuel use. Let the oven cool before covering or moving it; keep the gas hose out of walking routes.

↑ Compare all three approaches

Before you buy

  • Indoor Starter and outdoor gas tiers are alternatives—not interchangeable appliances.
  • Measure the oven rack or outdoor placement area, including all required clearances.
  • Confirm fuel, stand compatibility, peel size, included tools and safe food-prep space.

Make it yours.

Start small, repeat the recipe and let the setup grow with the habit. The best upgrade is the one that gets friends around the table more often.
