Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good product, well made. Takes a little time to heat up and opening can be tight to get pizza in

This Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Oven does it all. A simple turn of the dial will let you switch from roasting, broiling, baking, warming, dehydrating, smoking, and of course, making pizza. Any of these options can have woodfire flavor added to them by adding the Woodfire pellets (actual hardwood). These are for flavoring, not fueling, since everything is electric. You can get this oven up to 700 degrees in about 25 minutes. The dials and buttons on the dash are very easy to use and understand. The oven itself is on the smaller side, so depending on how many you are cooking for, it may take a couple of runs to prepare for over 3-4 people. Most dishes included in the enclosed recipe book can all be completed in one run, though. Making a pizza is fun. The whole key to good pizza with this oven is the dough. It takes a little practice to get the shape and thickness right, but the cooking itself is a breeze. The options you can do for the different styles of pizza are all provided in the recipe book. I highly recommend getting the Ninja Pizza Peel before attempting to make a pizza. Also, consider going ahead and getting the oven cover as well, since it will be kept outside. There are a few other accessories available that you may find you want depending on what you are using it for, but I think those two accessories are basically necessary.

If you've been thinking about adding a pizza oven to your arsenal, I don't think it gets much easier than this. Crank it to 700, throw it in for a few minutes and be amazed at how evenly cooked it comes out. If you have ever tried one that uses propane you know that it can be a bit challenging to manage the heat and finding the right time to rotate. This really was as easy as putting the pizza in, closing the door and hitting start. Though I got this mainly for pizza, it has plenty of other uses including the ability to cook with different wood pellets to add that bit of smokey flavor. You are able to do longer smokes, but that will require filling the small pellet hopper every 30 minutes or so. Personally I will be using this for shorter cooks and keep my smoker for the longer jobs. This is also a great tool for entertaining. Wether you need a second oven or a place to keep things warm, the ability to dial in a temp from 105-700 makes it extremely versatile and easy to use. Though it feels well built, it's not so cumbersome that I can't easily store it away between uses. Overall this is a great addition to our outdoor kitchen and we love the results we are seeing. If you want a foolproof way to make pizzas at home, look no further.

I’ve never had a pizza oven before or even put much thought into how one of my favorite foods are made. I love wood fired pizzas and we don’t have too many places around here that makes good ones so I was super eager to give this a try. I already do plenty of outdoor cooking, I have a smoker and a gas grill so I was really only interested in the pizza part of the Woodfire Oven. Setting up the oven for pizza making is straightforward. But first, read the instructions! There are certain things that are not dishwasher safe and in the case of the pizza stone you do not want to clean it with anything other than a soft cloth! Once you’re familiar with the instructions you can place it outdoors (it’s not to be used indoors) and insert the accessory frame and pizza stone. There are a lot of accessories you may not realize you need when making pizza. For example, I didn’t have a pizza peel, so I ordered the Ninja one. You’ll also need a pizza cutter, and if you’re mixing your dough in a stand mixer, you’ll need a dough hook. The oven also does not come with a stand, so unless you already have an outdoor countertop to place it on, be prepared to buy that too. If you are smoking meats you’ll want some type of Bluetooth temperature probe as there are no holes in the oven to pass a wired probe. Cooking a pizza in the oven is about as simple as it can get. You turn the dial to Pizza, then select the type of pizza you are wanting to make. It’ll take about 10 minutes or so to preheat, then you simply add the pizza and wait for the timer to finish, remove it, and let it cool about 5 minutes. That’s it. The “Woodfire” part comes from the optional pellets that you can add to give it a flavor. The pellets do not contribute to the cooking process, they only are there to provide a smokey flavor. My first pizza came out way better than I expected! However, making the dough took several attempts. Since I had never made my own pizza before I used the recipe book that was included. What I came to realize after two attempts where the dough came out like glue was that the recipes in the book are not good. At least for pizza. I ended up finding a Youtube video online and realized the Ninja recipe was calling for about twice as much water as needed and had some of the steps backwards. Once I had the dough part figured out it was easy to make the pizzas, although it’s not a big oven. The largest pizza you can make is 12” which is only enough for maybe 2 people at most. The pizzas do cook fast, however, providing some benefit if you need to feed a family. I am also now using the oven as a roaster for my briskets that I cook on my full-size smoker. It works well for this as it’s able to maintain a low temperature of around 140 degrees to keep them rested until dinnertime. Pros: 8-in-1 Combo Cooker Makes Great Pizzas High Temp Cooking – 700 F Can be used as a roaster or smoker Optional Wood pellets for flavor Includes sample pellets Cons: Only Used Outdoors On the Small Side Might need to purchase accessories Overall – the Ninja Woodfire Oven works well for making pizza. I think it’s best for those who want to cook a variety of items outdoors but may not have the space for multiple appliances. The recipes need some improvement.

Not happy with this product at all, wish i could have returned it

Well color me impressed with the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Oven. From the wonderful red color matching my local sports team to all the functions, I am loving this oven. It comes with a pizza stone, roasting pan and raised grill insert for the roasting pan. As of writing, I have not used every function on the oven, but the first thing I was excited to test out was the pizza capabilities. I would post pictures of my first pizza, but it's form is terrible, however, the taste was amazing and it was easy to cook for the oven part. I will say nothing of my abilities to get the dough wrangled and in a proper shape. Let's just say I'll be cleaning flour up out of my floor for awhile. For the oven's part in this pizza experiment, 10/10 super easy. Just set it for your preferred type of pizza and the size/thickness of the dough per the instructions, let it preheat, let it run, and bam, tasty pizza. I've made several more pizzas since then each improving in look and providing the same great taste. Very easy to cook and adding the woodfire flavor to one is definitely recommended as it adds just an extra layer of flavor like it was cooked in a wood fueled oven. Next up, the smoker function. As smoking takes a long time, I've tried this once. I made a pork shoulder that I turned into pulled pork. Used the included wood pellets, set it for the recommended time and temp, and let it ride. I did check the temp towards the end and pulled it out a little bit early as it hit it's target temp earlier than anticipated. Even so, the cook on the pork shoulder was absolutely spot on and some of the best pulled pork I've ever eaten came out. Cleanup of everything is pretty easy and straightforward. of the 4 removable pieces, 2 are dishwasher safe, the roasting pan is hand wash with soap, and of course the pizza stone can't be submerged and shouldn't be washed with soap. The only complaint I can give for this unit is it does not come with any sort of stand. Some may have a nice place to set this unit up, but I did not, and thus I would recommend ordering the matching Ninja stand accessory. I would also recommend the cover and pizza peel. Cover only if you're going to keep the unit outside and the pizza peel if you plan to make pizza in this at all because it is an invaluable tool in the process. All in all, I love this thing. Best of luck to everyone who purchases in learning how to make perfect pizzas!

Ninja Woodfire 8-in-1 Outdoor Oven This is my first electric outdoor pizza/oven that is also a smoker. Ninja created this oven to compete with the outdoor pizza oven market. This electric outdoor oven is a lot more versatile because of its smoking feature. It has a little wood pellet smoke box attached to its side. The Ninja Woodfire Oven weighs 32.4 lbs. The box has a quick start guide, a pellet scoop, and a pizza stone. The pizza stone is 12 3/4 by 12 1/4 personal-size pizza. The oven is terracotta colored, a throwback to colors used in the 60's or 70's. The oven also has a roasting rack, a pro-heat pan, and an accessory frame. The accessory frame is used to hold the pro-heat pan, the roasting rack, and the pizza stone. The smoke box is small. It is not used as a fuel source. It is used to just add smoke flavor to your food. The menu system on the control panel is simple. It has eight functions: warm, dehydrate, smoker, bake, broil, specialty roast, max roast, and pizza. The pizza function has six presets: Neopolitan, thin, New York, pan, frozen, and custom. It also has a woodfire option. This option introduces a smoked flavor to your food. The specialty roast function lets you set stage one temperature for high heat to put a sear, then dial it down for a longer cook. It is like searing your stakes on a traditional outdoor grill and then turning the flame down to slow the cooking of the food. The oven's opening is small for a typical pizza oven. It is about 13 and a quarter inches wide by seven inches tall. The accessory frame takes up the bottom one and a half inches. I first tested the accuracy of the oven's internal temperature with the pizza stone inside. It took about 26 minutes for the oven to reach 700 degrees. I then tested the smoker by filling the small box with woodfire pellets. After a few minutes, you start to see the smoke. The smoke stays consistent for about 40 minutes. And now, for the real reason, I acquired this oven. My family loves pizza, and this Nija Woodfire 8-in-1 does not disappoint. There's simply nothing more appetizing than a flavor-packed, juicy, and succulent pizza on a nice, warm day. As discussed earlier. The oven has different types of pizza settings you can choose from: Neapolitan Style: A chewy, puffy crust that's spotted with crispy bubbles Thin crust: Thin, stretched pizza with a crispy crust New York: Large, hand-tossed pizza with light browning and a foldable, chewy crust Pan pizza: Baked in a deep dish or pan with a thick, chewy crust Frozen: Your favorite package pie can become a gooey masterpiece in minutes I used the Ninja Woodfire Oven to make two of those types of pizzas. I followed the preset settings for both the New York-style pizza (475 degrees) and the Frozen pizza (400 degrees). The New York pizza is baked to light, foldable, and with gooey cheese within eight minutes. I used the wood pellets during the baking process. I was able to smell the wood pellets burning and taste the woodfire smoke on the pizza. The Frozen pizza finished cooking at a warp speed of 3 minutes. It was fluffy and delicious. With the Ninja Woodfire 8-in-1 Outdoor Oven, you'll appreciate its ability to make other foods using the previously described menu settings. After baking the two different styles of pizza, I prepared a 10 lbs pork shoulder. I placed it in the oven using the pro heat pan on top of the accessory frame. I followed the cooking guide by cooking the pork shoulder for 8 hours at a temperature of 250 degrees to reach an internal temperature of 203 degrees. I used the smoking option and kept loading the pellets every 40 minutes. The Ninja Cooking guide was off by at least two and a half hours. The pork shoulder reached its preferred internal temperature of 203 degrees after ten and a half hours of cooking. Once done, the bone was pulled out of the pork fairly clean and pulled apart effortlessly. The smoked flavor in the meat was very light. If you like smoke-flavored meat, I recommend using a dedicated smoker. Now, the most unpopular part of using any outdoor cooking appliance is cleaning it. The smoker took a little bit of elbow grease to clean it. The smoke literally hardened on the inside surface like paint. I used nylon brushers and scrubbers to clean the inside of the unit. The rack and pan had to soak overnight in soapy water to get properly cleaned. I will wrap the meat next I cook to minimize the time scrubbing the oven. The Ninja has some accessories you can purchase separately. It has a pizza peel for $30, an oven cover for $24, and an adjustable stand for $200. Some of my minor dislikes about this electric oven are: No window to check on the food A little heavy (32.4 lbs) to keep moving around for storage Watch for very hot oven doors while moving food around Overall, this is a very good compact unit that cooks many different foods with simplicity. Just like a barbecue grill, this oven adds fun to outdoor family gatherings—especially pizza parties. If you live in areas that do not allow charcoal or propane cooking, this Ninja Woodier 8-in-1 would be perfect. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys outdoor cooking.

Review for Ninja - Woodfire 8-in-1 Outdoor Oven, 700°F High Heat Roaster, Pizza Oven, BBQ Smoker with Woodfire Technology - Terracotta Red This oven has completely replaced my gas grill. No more propane refills and so much versatility. Steaks last night were the best ever; I even tried some of the sample pack of wood pellets in the smoker section to add a woodsy vibe to the meat. Everyone raved about it. It might not get as much attention, but I like the low temperature control as much as the high. I made sun-dried tomatoes using the “dehydrator” setting. They came out perfect. I plan to pack some away in oil for a taste of summer this coming winter. I was pleasantly surprised how much food I could prepare at once. It’s easy to make dinner for 4-6 people using the included pan or grill. The documentation even says you can roast up to a 12 pound turkey! This could be a great way to max out Thanksgiving plans when my indoor oven is in use. Having this oven outside has been great during a week of unseasonably warm summer temps this year in early September. Not adding heat to the house and still being able to prepare something other than salad was a surprise benefit for early fall cooking. It gave me a chance to learn how to use it more fully. There are a number of wonderful-looking accessories available for the oven. I think the cover is going to be my next go to, but the table, specially designed for the oven, and cast iron pan look great too.

Ninja, the creator of many unique kitchen small appliances, has added to their arsenal of things you never knew you wanted until you saw them with the Woodfire Outdoor Oven. This appliance is designed to offer very high heat (up to 700 degrees F) and even real smoke flavor using wood pellets without an open flame or gas source – providing an interesting option for balconies and other places where open flames are not allowed. How does it perform? Lets take a look. In the box you’ll find a small bag of wood pellets, a pellet scoop, some manuals and recipe ideas and the pizza stone. Two other accessories, the roasting pan and rack, are in the oven itself. One thing to note – I found two bags of silicone desiccant in the VERY BACK of the oven. Be sure to get these out before you turn it on! Be sure to check over the manual, as this is a bit of a different machine than typical. If an extension cord is needed (likely, as the included cord is almost comically short), check that it is a large gauge and properly rated for the up to 1700 watts this thing can draw. Also, the pizza stone basically can’t get wet. If it does it could break when used the next time if any residual moisture is in it, so be sure to clean it according to the manual. After a quick first heat with all of the accessories to 700 degrees to cook off any finishing oils from the factory, it’s ready to go. Programing the system is simple – select the cooking mode, set a temp, when the unit has preheated it prompts to hit start to start the timer if needed for the selected mode. Smoke is optional on any of the cooking modes. Filling the smoke box is easy and it works very well. It’s nice to only use pellets for flavor and not for heat. You can be very efficient with usage. Since the system only uses electric heating you can “set it and forget it” – there is no need to tinker with vents or watching the temp like you do with charcoal or wood smokers, it just does its thing. Pizzas are also easy here – put in the pizza stone, preheat to a high heat, and go. Going all the way to 700 will give you that “fast fired” char of a brick pizza oven in a system that doesn’t take wood or gas and can be stored away. If I had any negatives, it would be that it isn’t terribly large. Max size is 12” square by about 5” tall for anything that goes in. It also doesn’t have a window, so checking on food means opening it up and letting the heat out. The size can also be a plus – it doesn’t take much space if limited space is a concern. For larger meals or families you may find it simply can’t hold enough food to cook for the entire family. The accessory rack also does not slide easily in and out, which makes it harder to load pizzas. When you are at 700 degrees, even with oven gloves, you only have a few moments of contact time before you can feel the heat, and having the rack fighting you isn’t ideal. That said, we did manage to cook pizzas at 700 in rapid succession and had a nice pizza night. Overall, the Ninja Woodfire Oven can get real smoke flavor and consistent temperature control in a compact package that just needs electricity to work. It is a great addition to places that have limited space or can’t use gas or open flame cooking (check your local laws about the smoke feature) or just want to have artisan style pizzas without committing to a huge, heavy pizza oven.

I came to find this product because I was searching for pizza oven accessories for our outdoor wood fire pizza oven. I found this and starting thinking about how much easier and more often making our own pizzas could be. We love making our own pizzas, but the wood fire pizza oven takes hours to heat up, creates a mess of ashes, and it's just a whole production and we don't use it as much as we'd like. I love this product more than I thought I would. It allows for a quick and easy make your own pizza night without hours of prep and fire tending. You fire this up and set to the temperature for the type of pizza and dough you are using and pop the pizza in, and then magically in a few minutes, it comes out nice and even without having to turn, spin, or mess with the pizza to get it cooked perfectly. The kids love it because they are able to help with the process where the woodfire oven needs skill that kids take forever to learn. Made our outdoor parties a lot more fun and much less stressful when craving a tasty homemade pizza. Flavors are amazing and it just gets the job done right!

The Ninja Woodfire 8 in 1 Outdoor Oven, 700 Degree High Heat Roaster, Pizza Oven, BBQ Smoker with Woodfire Technology is a very versatile and useful outdoor appliance. I have used other Ninja products before such as the Ninja Combi. They have all been well built and offered excellent value for the money. The Woodfire 8 in 1 is no exception and offers unique features in the high temperature, the pizza oven, and BBQ smoker with Woodfire Technology. The Woodfire 8 in 1 is easy to setup and use. Once setup, I was able to make Artisan pizzas in under 3 minutes, smoke ribs, char steaks at high temperature, and add Woodfire flavor to just about any meat, etc. Size is reasonable with room for up to a 12 inch pizza, a 12 pound turkey, or a standard casserole or sheet pan. Temperature control is also complete with a range between 105 and 700 degrees fahrenheit. If you are looking for a high quality, convenient, and unique addition to your outdoor cooking repertoire, I highly recommend the Ninja Woodfire 8 in 1 Outdoor Oven, 700 Degree High Heat Roaster, Pizza Oven, BBQ Smoker with Woodfire Technology.

My smoke button malfunctioned a week into having the unit. Very disappointed.

Upon receiving this oven, I was excited to make my first pizza. First thing I noticed was the size. It is not too big and not too small for my yard which is great. The build quality is excellent and everything feels solid. Front door needs a little muscle to open. It is pretty tight which I wasn’t expecting. No issue with that though. Once setup, I started the oven up to cook at 700 degrees. Took about 25 minutes to reach this temp which was perfect as it gave me time to prep my pizza. Right before I put the pizza in the oven, I added the included pellets which give off a nice smoke but at 700 degree it would be a quick cook so it’s really not enough time for the smoke to sink in. I followed the directions for a Neapolitan which said 700 degrees for three minutes. Checked on it after 3 minutes and it was definitely cooked, maybe a little overcooked. What would be very helpful is putting glass on the door or somewhere to view the pizza as it cooks to avoid having to open and close the door as it cooks. This is my only issue with this oven. Don’t get me wrong, I am sure with some practice I can figure out the right amount of time to cook the pizza at such a high heat. At the same time, I feel like no two pizzas are the same so it may not be that easy. Time will tell. Overall, it is a great well made product but I have to take a star away due to the fact that there is no way to view what is being cooked.

Absolutely worth every penny! Enjoying all the different flavors with the different wood chips available. The wide Range of the heat makes cooking everything so easy. My only problem was I didn’t think ahead and get a heavy duty extension cord so I couldn’t use it the day I got it. That has definitely been remedied! Will get a lot more use out of it for 4 July.

I'm really shocked at how much I really like this oven! When I decided to get this, I went into it with low expectations believing I can use it every now and then when I have company over! I like using his oven more than I do any of my other appliances including my stove! The pork chops I cooked with this, turned out so tender and juicy it was unbelievable! We've cooked a lot of food outside on a regular barbecue grill and really enjoyed it, but to me, this is like a whole new level! So I decided to make some chicken legs, and they came out perfect! The only thing I wish is that the stand ( that you buy separately) came in a little bit taller height. I'm pretty tall, and I would like that have it where I don't have to bend down as much. I also wish preheat was a little bit faster, for such a small appliance it shouldn't take that long. The one thing that I love most about ninja products, is the high quality of materials used. Everything that this oven comes with, feels like it's gonna last forever! I'm going to get me a few more extra parts this week, so I can try cooking pizzas and see how that turned out. You will definitely not be disappointed if you purchase this oven!

Wow! Recently relocated away from Chicago and family was nervous about missing Good Pizza. This bad-boy is incredible! As promised. Amazing hand tossed pizza in mere minutes! Also smoked a beef roast, per the simple instructions. Gamer Changer!

This is the best purchase I've made in years!! I have the Ninja GRILL and when I saw this I immediately ordered and have been cranking out pizza ever since. Love this one. Have also baked meatballs with smoke and they were great.

We love making pizza in our new Ninja pizza oven! Better than any pizza you can buy!

unbelievable great pizza was amazing just like real wood fired

Bought this for my husband and we’re hooked. It only took one failed attempt to get the temperature and timing down.
