- Best for Cooks pizza well and evenly — no burnt bottom or charred toppings; Stone preheats fast and holds/recovers heat between pies (about 15 min to heat on Tom's Guide; 650°F at 10 min and reload-ready within two minutes on Reviewed).
- Skip if Wood firing is cumbersome — small fuel tray needing frequent refueling (Tom's Guide: through a rear panel every five to 10 minutes; Reviewed: 11-inch tray requiring wood cut to 1 x 5 in) is a dealbreaker.

What reviewers say about the Solo Stove Pi
Two hands-on testers cooked on the dual-fuel Solo Stove Pi and both recommend it, especially with the propane burner. Both agree it heats fast, holds and recovers heat well, and bakes evenly. Both also flag wood mode as the weak spot: a small fuel tray, frequent refueling and a real learning curve on temperature control.

- Temperature is hard to regulate on wood; Tom's Guide notes there is no damper or airflow control · 2 sources
- The propane burner both testers prefer is sold separately, raising real cost (Tom's Guide: $469 wood-only vs $645 with propane; Reviewed: $440 vs $615) · 2 sources
- Front of the oven gets very sooty on wood — no chimney, so the mouth is the only escape for heat and smoke
Where reviewers disagree The two testers rank it very differently, and measured different things. Tom's Guide recorded around 750°F internal temperature on propane, contrasted that with the Ooni Fyra's 900°F, and concluded the Pi is 'not our first choice for wood-burning ovens.' Reviewed measured stone temperature, hit 780°F, praised the convection airflow, and concluded the Pi outperformed the Gozney and Ooni ovens that previously topped its rankings. Note the readings are not directly comparable (ambient/internal vs stone surface), and the reviews are two years apart.
The sources (2)
Internal oven temperature with propane attachment: around 750 degrees Fahrenheit · Preheat time for the half-inch cordierite pizza stone: about 15 minutes · Neapolitan pizza cook time: about two minutes · Wood refueling interval during cooking: every five to 10 minutes · Pizzas baked during test (60% hydration Neapolitan dough): around a dozen · Oven weight: 30.5 pounds
The Solo Pi is a great-looking and well-designed pizza oven that can turn out excellent pies in minutes.
I also tried out the Solo Pi as a wood-burning pizza oven, as befitting its pedigree. However, I found it cumbersome to use.
the Solo Pi's front also gets very sooty if you use wood
Pizza stone temperature after 10 minutes (propane, high): 650°F · Pizza stone temperature at the 20 minute mark (propane, high): 780°F · Highest temperature reached during testing: 780°F · Stone recovery time before loading a second pizza: within two minutes · Stone temperature used for New York-style pizzas (dial reduced): 500°F · Oven opening width vs 12-inch stone: 13 inches
we were pleasantly surprised to find that it outperformed them all
That said, it really takes some time and practice to get it right, and there’s a steep learning curve.
This is helpful for removing the stone when you want to clean it, but it leaves a small gap when both pieces are placed inside the oven.
