Quick take
In short: what each side says
Reviewers · The street — each opened up in full further down ↓
Reviewers agree the Dome Gen 2 is a significant, well-built upgrade with more cooking space, better wind resistance, and strong heat retention, though the wood-fire control system remains a paid extra and some liked the old ash-removal feature better.
The Dome Gen 2 is praised for its dual fuel flexibility, rapid pizza cooking, and included accessories that make it versatile for everything from pizza to sourdough.
The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
The Dome Gen 2 offers serious home cooks a versatile, well-built multi-fuel oven with a significantly larger cooking floor and improved heat retention, though the removal of the old ash-removal feature and separate cost of the wood-fire control module may frustrate wood-burning purists seeking a complete, ready-to-use system.

Reviewers agree the Dome Gen 2 is a significant, well-built upgrade with more cooking space, better wind resistance, and strong heat retention, though the wood-fire control system remains a paid extra and some liked the old ash-removal feature better.
What they praise
- Larger cooking floor than the previous generation, fitting bigger pizzas and multiple pies at once
- Strong, consistent heat retention across gas, wood, and charcoal use
- Side-mounted flame frees up stone space and reduces wind interference compared to the old design
- High build quality on the oven and its accessories (stand, cover, door)
- Versatile beyond pizza, handling roasts, bread, and other slow-cooked dishes
What they knock
- Removal of the old ash-removal feature makes cleanup harder for wood and charcoal cooking
- Wood-fire control module and other accessories are sold separately rather than included
- Light-colored finish shows dirt and staining more easily than the dark option
- A newer model exists in the same product line, alongside other Gozney ovens that may suit different needs

The reviewer noted that accessories like the wood-fire control module are sold separately, but the only substantive clip praises the included ashtray, door, and steam injector as standard features.
