Best Solo Stove Pizza Oven: Pi Prime vs Pi Fire

As an Amazon Associate, Pizza Oven Radar earns from qualifying purchases. Product details below come from current manufacturer listings; availability and prices change often.

Solo Stove is best known for smokeless fire pits, and its pizza ovens follow two paths. The Pi Prime is a standalone propane oven with a wide panoramic opening. Pi Fire is an attachment that turns a Solo Stove fire pit you already own into a wood-fired pizza oven. Here’s which one makes sense for you.

Model Fuel Needs Max stone temp
Pi Prime Propane Propane tank High heat; pizza in ~90 seconds
Pi Prime Bundle Propane Propane tank Same as Pi Prime
Bonfire Pi Fire Wood Solo Stove Bonfire fire pit ~650°F
Yukon Pi Fire Wood Solo Stove Yukon fire pit ~650°F

The Best Solo Stove Pizza Ovens

1. Solo Stove Pi Prime – best Solo Stove pizza oven overall

Pi Prime is Solo Stove’s propane oven. Its demi-dome shape and wide 13-inch panoramic opening make launching and turning pizzas easier than in tunnel-style ovens.

It is built from 304 stainless steel with a cordierite stone, preheats in about 15 minutes, and cooks a pizza in as little as 90 seconds.

Key specs:

  • Fuel: propane
  • Opening: 13 inches wide
  • Body: 304 stainless steel
  • Preheat: about 15 minutes

PROS:

  • Wide opening is easy to work with
  • Stainless body
  • Simple front-facing control

CONS:

  • Open front loses heat in wind
  • Accessories sold separately (bundle available)

2. Solo Stove Pi Prime Bundle – best Solo Stove value bundle

The bundle pairs the Pi Prime propane oven with an infrared thermometer, a stainless steel peel and the Pi Prime Shelter cover. That’s everything you need to start cooking.

The oven itself is the same: demi-dome heating, a 15-minute preheat, a 132-square-inch cordierite stone and a wide panoramic opening on a compact 20.5-inch footprint.

Key specs:

  • Includes: Pi Prime oven, IR thermometer, stainless peel, Shelter cover
  • Cooking surface: 132 sq in cordierite stone
  • Footprint: 20.5 inches

PROS:

  • All the key accessories at once
  • Same oven as Pi Prime
  • Compact footprint

CONS:

  • Costs more up front
  • Propane only

3. Solo Stove Pi Fire (for Bonfire) – best for Bonfire fire pit owners

Already own a Solo Stove Bonfire fire pit? Pi Fire sits on top and turns it into a wood-fired pizza oven. It includes a cordierite stone, high-heat gloves and a carry case.

The stone tops out around 650°F, so expect slower, New York-style bakes rather than 60-second Neapolitan pizza.

Key specs:

  • Fuel: wood (requires a Solo Stove Bonfire, not included)
  • Stone max: about 650°F
  • Includes carry case and gloves

PROS:

  • Uses the fire pit you already have
  • Easy to pack up
  • Good value add-on

CONS:

  • Needs a Bonfire fire pit
  • Lower heat than dedicated ovens

4. Solo Stove Yukon Pi Fire – best for Yukon fire pit owners

The Yukon Pi Fire is the same idea as the Bonfire version, sized for Solo Stove’s larger Yukon fire pit. It sits on top of the pit and turns it into a wood-fired pizza oven, with a cordierite stone and a carry case included.

The stone reaches up to about 650°F, so expect slower, New York-style bakes rather than 60-second Neapolitan pizza.

Key specs:

  • Fuel: wood (requires a Yukon fire pit, not included)
  • Stone max: about 650°F
  • Carry case included

PROS:

  • Uses your Yukon fire pit
  • Portable
  • Real wood fire

CONS:

  • Yukon only
  • Lower heat than dedicated ovens

Pi Prime or Pi Fire?

Choose the Pi Prime if you want a dedicated pizza oven with fast, high-heat 90-second pizzas and easy gas control.

Choose Pi Fire only if you already own a Bonfire or Yukon fire pit and want to add pizza nights around the fire. The stone tops out around 650°F, so pizzas bake more slowly, more like New York-style than Neapolitan.

FAQ

Does Solo Stove still sell the original Pi?

The original dual-fuel Pi isn’t what Amazon currently stocks. The current options there are the propane Pi Prime and the Pi Fire fire-pit attachments.

How fast does the Pi Prime heat up?

Solo Stove lists about a 15-minute preheat, with pizzas cooking in as little as 90 seconds.

Is Solo Stove Pi Prime better than Ooni Koda 2?

The Pi Prime’s wide opening is easier to work with. The Koda 2 has a bigger 14-inch stone and Ooni’s tapered-flame burner. See our gas pizza oven comparison.

Our Pick

The Pi Prime Bundle is the best value if you need a peel, thermometer and cover anyway. If you already have those, buy the Pi Prime on its own.
