The Gozney Arc XL is the 16-inch version of Gozney’s compact gas pizza oven. TechRadar gave the Arc and Arc XL its Editor’s Choice award and Tom’s Guide rated the XL Recommended, calling it the only oven most people will ever need. Gozney’s US page listed it at $999.99 on 2026-10-12. Check today’s price.

Who the Arc XL is for (and who should skip it)

It suits people who regularly cook larger pizzas for a crowd and want a tidy, easy gas oven. Tom’s Guide also says it suits home or small commercial use, such as a pizza van, because of its round shape and flat base.

Skip it if:

  • You want the lowest price. Tom’s Guide calls the high price the elephant in the room and says the Ooni Koda 16 is the main 16-inch gas rival at a lower price.
  • You want to move it around. TechRadar lists it as not portable at 58.5 lb, and Tom’s Guide says you will want a second person.
  • You want wood-fired flavor. Both outlets describe it as gas only.

Heat and cooking performance

TechRadar lists a 1,000°F maximum and 35 minutes to 800°F, and says it offers stable temperatures and precise flame control, with a thick stone that keeps heat. Tom’s Guide lists a maximum of 932°F and says the stone reaches 750°F in around 15 to 20 minutes. The two outlets list different maximum temperatures, so check Gozney’s page. TechRadar suggests a baffle door accessory could speed up heat saturation.

Design and use

Both reviewers praise the build and the digital temperature display. Tom’s Guide says the stone is tricky to remove, which matters if the front of the stone gets messy. TechRadar says the optional Arc Stand is $250, with fold-down shelves and room for a gas cylinder.

Price

Gozney US: $999.99 (2026-10-12). Tom’s Guide listed $999 and TechRadar $799 at its 2024 review. Check today’s price.

How the Arc XL compares

For the 14-inch version see the Gozney Arc. For a more affordable 16-inch gas oven see the Ooni Koda 16. For a wood-capable premium option see the Gozney Dome S1.

Bottom line

A handsome, easy 16-inch gas oven that TechRadar and Tom’s Guide both liked, held back by its price and weight. Check today’s price.
