How long does it take to cook a pizza on a Gozney Roccbox?

The Roccbox is Gozney’s portable restaurant-grade pizza oven, which revolutionised outdoor cooking as the first and original stone-floored portable live-fire oven.
The Roccbox is expertly engineered to produce restaurant quality pizzas in no time at all. With next level insulation, a safe-touch silicone jacket, a unique rolling flame, and a thick stone floor the Roccbox produces amazing results time after time.
Gozney’s Roccbox can reach temperatures of up to 500°C and is equipped with dual fuel capabilities, allowing the oven to be used with gas or for wood-fired cooking with the addition of the wood burner attachment.
Cooking pizza on your Roccbox
The Roccbox’s high temperatures and almost 2cm thick cordierite base are perfect for producing restaurant-style pizzas at home. Gozney recommend heating your Roccbox to 400-500°C for pizzas. It should take around half an hour for your Roccbox to reach this temperature with the gas burner attachment. It’s important to allow the oven enough time to heat up properly to ensure that the stone, as well as the oven, has reached the desired temperature.
When heated to the correct temperature, your Roccbox can cook a pizza in just sixty seconds. As the heat source is at the back of the oven, you’ll want to turn your pizza as it cooks. Gozney’s Roccbox turning peel allows you to easily slide and turn pizzas inside the oven for even cooking.
If you’re a little less confident using your Roccbox, it’s best to keep your oven at the lower end of this temperature range to allow you more time to place and turn pizzas without burning them.
Serve your pizzas on Gozney’s pizza server using the Gozney pizza rocker to easily cut them without dislodging toppings.
Beyond pizza
Your Roccbox can be used for much more than just pizzas. With the gas burner attachment, the minimum temperature you will be able to achieve in your Roccbox will be around 350°. To cook at lower temperatures, purchase a wood burner attachment for your Roccbox.
Cook directly on the stone when cooking foods such as baked goods – we cooked a beef wellington in our Gozney Dome – or use a cast iron skillet to cook chicken wings, steaks, and more. At its widest, the mouth of the Roccbox measures 31 x 8.5cm and the depth of the cooking space is 34cm. Petromax’s cast iron skillet in both the 20cm and 30cm size fits inside of the Roccbox.
The only limit to what you can cook in your Roccbox is your imagination. You can even add smoke to your cooks when using the wood burner attachment.
The Roccbox by Gozney is a small but incredibly powerful outdoor oven, producing restaurant-quality pizzas in a just sixty seconds. But your Roccbox isn’t limited to just pizzas, get the most out of your Roccbox and push your skills as an outdoor cook with baked goods, meat, vegetables dishes, and desserts.
