Gozney Arc XL Off-Black Pizza Oven

Gozney Arc XL Off Black for large pizzas

The Gozney Arc XL Off Black is the dark version of the spacious Arc XL pizza oven. It accommodates one pizza up to 16 inches, approximately 40 cm, and is intended for those who like to bake larger pizzas at home or simply want more room to move around on the pizza stone.

The Arc XL runs on propane and combines a lateral gas flame with a 20 mm thick cordierite stone. This provides powerful top heat and a cooking surface that can store a lot of heat.

16-inch pizza oven with extra workspace

The Arc XL is suitable for pizzas up to 16 inches , approximately 40 cm. That extra space is not only handy when you want to bake large pizzas. Even with smaller pizzas, you have more room to rotate the pizza and position it relative to the flame.

That makes the Arc XL interesting for those who regularly bake multiple pizzas in a row and appreciate more space than with the regular Arc.

Lateral gas flame up to approximately 500 °C

The gas burner is located on the side of the oven and creates a rolling flame along the wall and top of the oven cavity. This ensures the pizza receives powerful heat from above, while the pizza stone bakes the crust.

The Arc XL can reach temperatures of around 500 °C . With the gas regulator, you can easily adjust the flame up or down, depending on the pizza style or preparation.

Allow approximately 30 to 40 minutes to bring the oven and the thick pizza stone up to temperature. Be sure to check the temperature of the stone before baking.

20 mm thick cordierite stone

The Gozney Arc XL features a removable 20 mm thick cordierite stone . The thicker stone can store a lot of heat, making it convenient when you want to bake multiple pizzas in a row.

Every pizza extracts heat from the baking surface. A well-preheated stone helps to bake the base properly, even with successive pizzas.

Who is the Gozney Arc XL suitable for?

The Arc XL is a good fit for those who bake pizza regularly and want more space than a standard compact pizza oven offers. The 16-inch capacity is particularly interesting if you want to make larger pizzas or value extra room to move around.

If you mainly bake pizzas up to about 35 cm and want to keep the oven more compact, the standard Arc might be sufficient. However, if you want even more cooking space and the option to work with wood or charcoal, then the Dome Gen 2 comes into play.

Arc XL or Dome Gen 2?

The Arc XL is primarily aimed at simple and controlled gas pizza baking. The Gozney Dome Gen 2 is larger and can be used with wood or charcoal in addition to propane.

If you primarily want to bake pizza and appreciate the convenience of gas, the Arc XL is often the more practical choice. If you want to use the oven more broadly for various forms of outdoor cooking and work with fire yourself, the Dome Gen 2 offers more possibilities.

Off Black or Cream?

The Arc XL is available in multiple colors at BBQ Valley. This Off Black version has a dark, matte black appearance that pairs easily with an outdoor kitchen, kamado barbecue, or other equipment.

The color does not affect performance. If you prefer a lighter version, also take a look at the Gozney Arc XL Cream. Both models have the same cooking chamber, stone, burner, and temperature options.

Dimensions and weight

The Gozney Arc XL is approximately 53 cm wide, 62.9 cm deep, and 34.2 cm high . The oven weighs approximately 26.5 kg .

When choosing a location, also ensure there is sufficient space around the oven and always use a stable surface suitable for a pizza oven.

If you want a fixed and mobile setup, you can combine the oven with the Gozney Arc & Arc XL base .

More than just pizza

The Arc XL is primarily a pizza oven, but the large oven cavity and adjustable gas flame also offer possibilities for flatbreads, vegetables, meat, fish, and preparations using suitable heat-resistant cookware.

If you also have a kamado barbecue or ceramic BBQ , both appliances complement each other well. You use the kamado, for example, for grilling, smoking, and slow cooking, while the Arc XL excels with a hot stone and powerful top heat.

Accessories for the Gozney Arc XL

For comfortable pizza baking, a suitable pizza peel, turntable, and infrared thermometer are practical accessories. With an infrared thermometer, you can quickly check if the pizza stone is hot enough for the next pizza.

In addition, there are specific accessories for the Arc XL, including the base and a matching protective cover. Always check if accessories are suitable for the Arc XL.

Good pizza dough for the Arc XL

A good pizza doesn't just start with a hot oven. The right dough ratio, fermentation, and processing are at least as important for a light crust and a well-baked base.

Maintenance of the Gozney Arc XL

Many baked-on residues on the inside can burn off spontaneously at high temperatures. Afterwards, let the oven cool down completely and carefully remove loose residues 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. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents.

Warranty on the Gozney Arc XL

For private use, a standard 2-year manufacturer's warranty applies. If you register the Arc XL 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.
