Ranks in the top 50% of all 32 pizza ovens we have rated.
The Big Horn GP9022PRC answers its own question well. A 14-inch pie bakes properly, and the oven then stands out of the way. What it leaves out is paperwork, chiefly a stated warranty for the cheaper purchase. It is a large-pizza oven at dinner and a slim box against the wall all week.
Most indoor electric pizza ovens stop at a 12-inch pie. The Ooni Volt 2, Breville Pizzaiolo and Chefman Indoor all do. Big Horn’s model GP9022PRC takes a 14-inch pizza. That is the size most of us actually order.
Then it does something odd for an oven. When dinner is over, it tips up and stands on its end.
So the question is simple. Can a box built for a large pie still bake like a real pizza oven? And at around $229.99, what has Big Horn left out to get there?
Out of the carton it looks bigger than a toaster oven and lower than a microwave. The front is bright stainless, curved like the mouth of a dome oven. Behind it sits a black shell with a fine wrinkle finish. A row of slotted vents runs above the opening.
There is almost nothing to assemble. The stone slides in, the door clips on, and the peel lies beside it. That is the whole job.
Your eye goes straight to the panel along the bottom edge. Two round dials sit under two small readouts. One reads the roof and one reads the floor.
A third dial picks programs. A red power button sits at the far end, away from the rest.
Our opening pie used the Wood Fired program and only tomato, mozzarella and basil. The full 14 inches reached the edges of the stone. The rim puffed and spotted, and the base came out crisp enough to fold without cracking. It tasted like pizza from a hot oven, not from a kitchen range.
Big Horn kept the list of extras brief, and nearly every item is about size. Everything here either helps a big pie bake evenly or helps the oven disappear afterwards.
One line of small print on the panel matters. It says the timer is for reading only. When the countdown ends, the heaters keep going until you switch the oven off.
Big Horn sells a manual-only twin, the GP9022PRD. Amazon labels it Classic Manual. This review covers the GP9022PRC, with presets and digital readouts. Check the style before you order.
| Metric | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Top temperature | 850°F | Hot enough for a blistered rim. Each heater climbs to it separately. |
| Setting range | 220°F to 850°F | Low enough for bread and wings. PID control holds whatever you set. |
| Power | 1800W, 110V to 120V | Runs from an ordinary North American outlet. Keep other big appliances off that circuit. |
| Preheat | 15 minutes | Switch it on before you stretch the dough, not after. |
| Claimed bake | 3 minutes, 14-inch pie | Maker's figure for a full-size pizza. Thicker styles take longer. |
| Footprint | 20.31 x 18.86 x 10.44 in | Wide on the counter while baking. Stands on its end once cool. |
| Warranty | 24 months, direct orders | Stated only for bighornoutdoor.com purchases. Amazon terms are not published. |
| Shipping | Free to U.S. addresses | Applies to orders placed with Big Horn. Thirty-day returns come with it. |
The 850°F ceiling is the same number the Volt 2 prints. At that setting the floor browns a base fast and the roof blisters the cheese. Big Horn claims three minutes for a 14-inch pie. A thin, lightly topped pizza matched that claim.
The two dials are the real tool here. A New York pie wants a hotter floor than roof. Run it like that and the crust firms up while the mozzarella is still soft.
A deep dish wants gentler heat on both, for longer. You can set either by hand and watch each readout settle. The six programs do the same job for anyone who would rather not decide.
The cost of a wider stone is time. The same 1800W has more stone to warm than a 12-inch oven carries. So the 15-minute preheat is a real wait, and it is not padding.
How quickly the stone recovers after a pie leaves is something Big Horn never states. Give it a few minutes and watch the bottom readout before loading the next one. For a family that needs four large pizzas, that pause sets the pace of the evening. Still, each large pie feeds more people, so there are fewer rounds to wait through.
The low end earns its place too. At 220°F the oven will warm plates or hold a finished pie. Big Horn also lists bread, cakes, pies, baguettes and chicken wings. A loaf on a hot stone under a cooler roof suits both dials.
The stainless front looks the part and wipes clean. The black shell is painted, though. The maker’s product title calls the whole oven stainless steel, and that oversells it.
Over the years, paint near an 850°F chamber is the part to watch. The wrinkle texture hides fingerprints well for now. Whether it stays even after many hot bakes is not yet known.
The insulated door seals the mouth properly. Tipping the oven up for storage takes two hands. It must be completely cool first, so plan on putting it away the next morning. Small feet on the back panel let it stand steady on its end.
This is a 2025 model. Nobody has years of data on its heating tubes yet. The warranty picture below makes that gap matter more.
The size cuts both ways on the counter. At 18.86 inches wide it needs a clear stretch of worktop while baking. Leave room at the sides and above for the vents to breathe. Upright, it fits the narrow gap beside a fridge or in a pantry.
Running cost is the power bill and little else. Pizza night here never starts with a trip for propane or a bag of pellets.
The value case is the price gap. Around $229.99 on Amazon buys a 14-inch stone and an 850°F ceiling. The Ooni Volt 2 asks $699 for the same top temperature and a 12-inch pie. The Breville Pizzaiolo costs $999.95 and stops at 750°F.
That is where the catch hides. Big Horn’s own site charges $399.99 for this oven. Its 24-month warranty is stated as valid only on bighornoutdoor.com purchases.
Put plainly, the cheaper place to buy it is the place the warranty does not name. Big Horn’s product page states no term for an Amazon order. Buying direct costs more, but it brings free shipping, 30-day returns and the stated term.
Upkeep is light. The stone lifts out for brushing, and the wrinkle paint resists grease. Big Horn never names the stone’s material, so treat it gently. Brush it dry, never soak it, and let burnt spots bake off on the next preheat.
Six categories, each with a fixed weight, applied the same way to every grill. Scored under Avid Griller Scoring System 2.1.
Reaches 850°F with separate top and bottom dials, but 1800W has a wider stone to heat and Big Horn publishes no recovery time.
The 24-month warranty is stated only for bighornoutdoor.com orders, so the cheaper Amazon purchase comes with no term the maker states.
A stainless front and insulated removable door sit on a painted black shell the product title still calls stainless steel.
Six presets plus two readout dials make it simple, though the timer only counts and never switches the heaters off.
Around $229.99 buys a 14-inch stone and an 850°F ceiling; the Ooni Volt 2 asks $699 for 850°F and a 12-inch pie.
The stone lifts out and the wrinkle paint shrugs off grease, yet Big Horn never names the stone's material or how to treat it.
