Solo Stove Pizza Oven

I’ve been looking into purchasing a pizza oven, and I’m leaning to the Solo Stove. Not only for pizza but it seems versatile for other food options. I’m open to other suggestions. Doing my research before making the purchase

Sous Vide pizza is the only way to go.

They seem cool but they also seem like one of those things that people buy, use for 6 months, and then it collects dust and when people come over you have to clean it off so your guests don’t know you spent a lot of money for a useless toy.

I understand the desire for a pizza oven if you frequently cook and enjoy pizza; however, if you're a pizza enthusiast, I would expect that you'd want to upgrade from a sub $500 pizza oven to something like a Gozney relatively quickly. On the other hand, if pizza isn't your passion, a pizza oven might end up being a single-purpose device that gathers more dust than use.
The scenario where I see it being practical is if you're certain you'll be making pizza regularly but either lack the budget for a higher-end oven or aren't completely confident that pizza-making will remain a long-term interest. In those scenarios the Solo seems perfect.

My wife and multiple kids love pizza, as do I. I can see me using this at least 2-3 times a month. The kiddos love to be involved with the process of pizza making, cause we often do flatbread Pizza every week for our movie night. I don’t mind spending up to 1500 for a good pizza setup. Not sure what ballpark of pizza ovens that puts me in. Just seeing what others experiences and opinions are

I’m going to build a masonry wood over around one of those inserts you can buy ready to go. It would double as a wood burning oven in my outdoor kitchen for bread, roasting meats/veg/etc

I know nothing about a solo stove pizza oven. But I have an Ooni and love it. We use it 2 to 3 times a month on average. It’s fun for the family and also makes a great pizza.

It looks like you can do more than just pizza, like steaks, veggies, fish, and so on. I could see using one when I was just cooking for two instead of firing up the Primo.

Like Hookfin, I don't have experience with the Solo but really enjoy the Ooni. We use it for way more than just pizza. For Good Friday we used it to make Jacked up Shrimp, home made pita, roasted veggies, and broiled shrimp.
If you do get one I recommend checking out the wood fire chef on youtube and instagram.
If you have the money and space check out Chicago Brick Oven.

For those with dual fuel units, do you like that option and can you use it as a gas starter for cooking on a wood fire?
How hard is the cleanup?

I haven't bought the propane components or felt like I needed them. For the Ooni its extremely easy to light the wood. All you need is a tumble weed or other charcoal starter. The wood chamber is small so you will need to use the pre cut kiln dried wood. The only problem is pieces are so small and burn fast so you are constantly adding wood. I alleviate this by using lump charcoal as a base and add wood when I need the rolling fire.
If I were to buy the propane components it would be to keep from having to constantly having to feed the fire.
It takes less than five minutes to clean.

We have the Ooni that you can burn wood, pellets, or use propane. When I first got it, I tried the pellets but It was a mess to clean up. Ever since then, I’ve only used the propane option. It’s the simplest thing ever. I can’t see myself trying another way.
