Gozney has been at the forefront of using their pizza ovens for a variety of food and at a variety of different locations. They even had a pop-up dinner on the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast cooked entirely with Gozney Roccbox ovens.
They’re doubling down on this idea by releasing a new go-anywhere pizza oven called Tread. It’s made to be portable, yet durable, and is self-contained for making pizza with accessories like the Tread Venture Stand and a cutting board that mounts to the top of the oven.
With the world’s newly rediscovered appreciation for nature and home cooking yet millions of people still without access to a backyard, we wanted to disrupt the outdoor cooking market once again by creating a pizza oven that ventures further than ever before. Tread brings the joy of pizza making and the thrill of high temperature cooking out of homes and restaurants and to as many people (and places) as possible. This trailblazing portable pizza oven enables everyone to experience the magic of cooking outdoors, bringing people together by creating that connection and sense of community that instinctually comes with cooking together over live fire. Tread reshapes the landscape of not only the pizza oven industry but also outdoor cooking more broadly, transforming meal prep into an adrenaline-fueled outdoor activity.

Accessories
With it’s flame that rolls over your food like a traditional wood oven, the Tread is a great oven. You could use it in your backyard, just like any other pizza oven.
What really transforms it into a go-anywhere, adventure ready pizza oven is it’s host of accessories. The one that is key to using it anywhere for cooking is the Tread Venture Stand, which is a telescoping stand for the oven. It has a quad pod design (like a tripod with an extra leg for stability) that gets the oven off the ground and keeps you from searching for a table.
Some other accessories that let you use it anywhere are the Mantel that gives you a resting area in front of the mouth of the oven, and the Roof Rack which is a cutting board that mounts to the top for prep. You’ll also want to consider the one of the pizza peels that Gozney made with portability in mind for the Tread.
Appearance
Beyond the utility of the Tread it’s really just a cool looking oven. Gozney’s ovens have always had great design and aesthetics in mind, but this oven is a head turner. The oven gives off rugged vibes and I like both color options, which make it stand out in a sea of grey pizza ovens.
