The Full Review
Solo Stove's engineering shines in the Pi Prime's airflow design. The double-wall construction channels air to create a more efficient, hotter burn with less fuel. In wood mode, this means cleaner combustion and less smoke than competitors.
The gas burner is included (not a separate $100 add-on like Ooni and Gozney charge). Turn the knob and you're cooking in 15 minutes. Swap to wood for authentic flavor on weekends. The dual-fuel flexibility without extra cost is a genuine advantage.
Pizza quality is very good — the cordierite stone produces a well-charred base, and the dome heat cooks toppings evenly. At 900°F+ it's slightly cooler than the Ooni Karu 16's 950°F, but in practice the difference is negligible (maybe 10-15 extra seconds per pizza).
The design is where Solo Stove always excels. The brushed stainless steel looks premium and matches their fire pit aesthetic. If your patio already has Solo Stove products, the Pi Prime fits the visual family perfectly.
The limited lifetime warranty is the best in the pizza oven category and signals Solo Stove's confidence in the build quality.

Who Is It For?
Solo Stove fans who want a matching pizza oven. Dual-fuel users who don't want to buy a separate gas attachment. Design-conscious buyers who want a beautiful outdoor kitchen. Pizza makers who value build quality and warranty.
Final Verdict
The Solo Stove Pi Prime at $449 is a solid mid-range pizza oven with the best warranty and included gas burner in its class. It doesn't beat the Ooni Karu 16 on performance or the Gozney Roccbox on stone quality, but it's a strong all-rounder with excellent build quality.
