While there are many backyard pizza ovens on the market, the Gozney Dome stands out among the pack. The only downside of it, is the cost. Gozney just made owning a Dome a little more achievable with the release of a less expensive, streamlined Dome S1.
Features and Specs
The Gozney Dome S1 retails for $1,499 (check price), which is $200 less than the wood only Dome, and $500 less than the gas and wood dual fueled dome. The dynamic oven will get to 950° F, just like the Dome, and will cook a pizza in as little as 60 seconds. It also has the following features.
- Comes with a dock, which is the part underneath the oven with the controls on it
- Has a digital thermometer to monitor oven temps
- Removable cordierite stone for easier cleaning
- Electric ignition
- Large mouth for cooking a variety of different food

Differences
- The Dome S1 is just propane fueled
- The Dome S1 has a different digital thermometer, without the temperature probe ports
- The Dome S1 has a removable pizza stone, rather than built-in
- The Dome S1 is 21 lbs lighter
Features the Dome Has that the Dome S1 Doesn’t

Conclusion
The Gozney Dome S1 is a very versatile oven, just like it’s more expensive sibling. While the lower price brings less features, you wouldn’t miss them for cooking pizzas. If you plan on frequently cooking a variety of food, I’d stick with the original Dome.
