Gozney Arc Off Black Pizza Oven

Gozney Arc Off Black for pizzas up to 14 inches

The Gozney Arc Off Black is a gas-fired pizza oven for those who want more baking space at home than a compact 12-inch model offers, but do not need a large Arc XL or Dome. The Arc accommodates one pizza up to 14 inches , approximately 35 cm, and combines this with a lateral gas flame and precise flame control.

This makes the Arc an interesting middle ground within the Gozney range. You get more space around the pizza to turn and position it, while the oven remains relatively compact at a weight of approximately 21.5 kg.

Lateral gas flame up to approximately 500 °C

The Gozney Arc runs on propane and can reach temperatures of around 500 °C . The burner is located on the side of the oven and creates a rolling flame that moves along the oven wall and ceiling.

This design ensures powerful top heat while the pizza stone bakes the base. With the gas regulator, you control the oven's heat level. This allows you to bake very hot pizzas as well as reduce the flame for preparations that require a little more time.

Allow approximately 30 to 40 minutes for the oven and pizza stone to reach full temperature. Be sure to check the temperature of the stone before placing the first pizza on.

20 mm cordierite stone for good heat storage

The Gozney Arc has a removable 20 mm thick cordierite stone . That is clearly thicker than the 12 mm stone of Arc Lite and Tread.

The thicker stone can store more heat. This is convenient when you want to bake multiple pizzas in a row, because a well-heated stone needs to release sufficient energy to the pizza base.

Therefore, a hot oven alone is not enough. If the stone is still too cold, the top of your pizza may already be ready while the base lags behind. You can find more practical explanation in our common mistakes at Gozney .

Who is the Gozney Arc suitable for?

The Arc is especially suitable for the home baker who makes pizza regularly and wants more space than a 12-inch oven offers. The 14-inch baking capacity gives you just a little more freedom regarding the size of your pizza and during rotation.

Additionally, the Arc is a logical choice if you want serious performance but do not need the 16-inch capacity of the Arc XL. As a result, the oven takes up less space on your patio or in your outdoor kitchen.

Gozney Arc or Arc Lite?

The main difference between Arc and Arc Lite lies in size, stone, and capacity. Arc Lite is suitable for pizzas up to 12 inches and has a 12 mm thick stone. The Arc goes up to 14 inches and uses a 20 mm thick cordierite stone .

Arc Lite is an interesting option when compactness and lower weight are important. Choose Arc if you bake regularly and appreciate more space and heat retention.

Gozney Arc or Arc XL?

The Arc is suitable for pizzas up to 14 inches. The Gozney Arc XL increases this to 16 inches and provides more space around the pizza.

If you mainly bake pizzas around 30 to 35 cm and want to keep the oven relatively compact, the Arc is often more than sufficient. If you want to make larger pizzas or deliberately need extra room to move around on the stone, the Arc XL is a better fit.

Dimensions and weight of the Gozney Arc

The Gozney Arc is approximately 48 cm wide, 56.4 cm deep, and 34.2 cm high . The oven weighs approximately 21.5 kg .

This makes the Arc significantly larger and heavier than the Arc Lite, but still more compact than the Arc XL and the Dome Gen 2 series. Determine in advance where you want to place the oven and ensure a sturdy and suitable outdoor setup.

Preparing more than just pizza

The Arc was developed around pizza baking, but the powerful and adjustable gas flame also offers possibilities for other preparations. Think of flatbreads, vegetables, meat or fish, and dishes in suitable heat-resistant cookware.

If you also use a kamado barbecue or ceramic BBQ , both appliances complement each other well. A kamado excels at grilling, smoking, and slow cooking, while the Arc particularly shines with a hot cooking surface and powerful top heat.

Gozney Arc with chassis

If you want to place the oven at a fixed working height and be able to move it easily, you can combine it with the Gozney Arc & Arc XL base .

The base has been specially developed for both Arc models and provides the oven with a stable, mobile foundation. This is especially practical when you do not have a fixed outdoor kitchen or a suitable worktop.

Accessories for the Gozney Arc

BBQ Valley has various accessories that fit the Arc specifically. With the Gozney Arc Booster , you can raise the oven when it is standing on a table or worktop.

The Gozney Arc protective cover helps protect the oven when not in use. Always allow the Arc to cool completely before placing the cover.

A suitable pizza peel, turntable, and infrared thermometer are also practical tools. With an infrared thermometer, you can easily check whether the 20 mm pizza stone is sufficiently heated.

Pizza dough for the Gozney Arc

The performance of the oven is only one part of a good pizza. Fermentation, hydration, and opening the dough also have a significant influence on the final base and crust.

Maintenance of the Gozney Arc

Many residues on the inside can burn off spontaneously at high temperatures. Then allow the oven to cool down completely and carefully remove any remaining loose residue with a soft brush.

Clean the exterior with warm soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive cloth. If necessary, use a non-corrosive and bleach-free cleaner. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

Warranty on the Gozney Arc

For private use, a standard 2-year manufacturer's warranty applies. If you register the Arc with Gozney within 60 days of purchase, this can be extended to a limited warranty of up to 5 years. Different warranty periods apply to certain parts, including the pizza stone and electronic components.
