Best Ninja Pizza Oven: Woodfire vs Artisan Compared
As an Amazon Associate, Pizza Oven Radar earns from qualifying purchases. Product details below come from current manufacturer listings; availability and prices change often.
Ninja’s pizza ovens take a different approach from Ooni and Gozney. They’re electric, so there’s no propane or fire to manage. They top out at 700°F, have presets for different pizza styles, and cook a 12-inch pizza in about 3 minutes without turning. The Woodfire models also burn a small amount of wood pellets for real smoke flavor. Here’s how the current Ninja pizza ovens compare.

Ninja vs Gas and Wood Pizza Ovens
At 700°F, Ninja ovens run cooler than the 900–950°F gas and wood ovens from Ooni and Gozney. Pizzas take about 3 minutes rather than 60–90 seconds, and Neapolitan crusts won’t char quite as much. In exchange you get set-and-forget presets, no turning, no fuel to buy, and an oven that also roasts, bakes and smokes. If you want maximum heat, see our best gas pizza ovens.
FAQ
Can you use a Ninja Woodfire pizza oven indoors?

Do you need wood pellets for the Ninja Woodfire?
Only for smoke flavor. The oven heats with electricity, and a small scoop of pellets adds wood-fired flavor when you want it.

Ninja lists about 25 minutes to reach 700°F for the Woodfire and about 18 minutes for the Artisan.
Our Pick
