Brand: Bertello · MSRP: $749 · Fuel: Wood + Gas

Bertello's flagship 16-inch oven uses double-wall insulation and supports gas-only, wood-only, or simultaneous gas-and-wood operation. Casey note: article best-portable-pizza-ovens.html refers to this product as 'Bertello Grande 1500' at $449 — neither the name nor the price is accurate. ASIN B09RQ5W4K3 resolves to Amazon's 'Bertello Pizza Oven - Everything Bundle' which is the Grande 16 sold with the 16x16" pizza stone (33.46 x 19.80 x 17.99 in box, matching this entry). No 'Grande 1500' SKU exists. Article naming and price should be corrected on next regen.

What the specs mean for cooking

The Bertello Grande 16" reaches 900°F on the stone, which puts it comfortably in true Neapolitan territory (the 850-900°F threshold is the practical floor for the puffed cornicione that defines the style). The 16-inch stainless steel stone fits NY-style 16-inch pies and standard Neapolitan 11-12 inch rounds with margin.

Fuel flexibility is a meaningful spec on this oven: Wood + Gas. Multi-fuel ovens let you run gas for weeknight convenience and switch to wood or charcoal on the weekend for the smoky aromatics, without buying two separate units.

Preheat time of 15 minutes is on the fast end of this category — useful when you want pizza in under half an hour from cold.

At 66 lbs, this oven is a stationary install — plan a permanent or semi-permanent home for it on a stand or counter; not realistically moved between cooks. Dimensions of 19.8x34x14.9" mean it lives outside on a Gozney/Ooni-style stand year-round, covered when not in use.

Best fit for

New York-style pizzas (max temp covers it)
Detroit-style pizzas (max temp covers it)
Permanent backyard setup, entertaining at scale
Weeknight convenience cooking
Wood-fired authenticity for weekend cooks
Counter / stand setup
Mid-tier buyers wanting brand reliability without a premium markup

Where this oven fits the buying decision

If you're cross-shopping the Bertello Grande 16" against Ooni Koda 2 Pro (18") or Ooni Volt 2, the deciding factors are usually fuel flexibility, weight, and stone size — in that order. Run the Pizza Throughput Calculator for your target party size to see realistic pies-per-hour, and the Neapolitan Fit Checker to confirm the stone fits the dough size you actually want to make.

FAQ

Is the Bertello Grande 16" really portable?

Not really — at 66 lbs this is a stationary install. Plan a permanent home for it.

Can it make true Neapolitan pizza?

Yes — the 900°F max temp clears the practical Neapolitan threshold. Pair the oven with cordierite-stone-ready dough at 60-65% hydration and 60-90 second cook times.

What does it cost to run per session?

Gas runs about $1-3 per session on a 20-lb propane tank. Wood logs run about $5-15 per session for premium hardwood (oak, cherry, hickory).

Is the Bertello Grande 16" weather-resistant?

The stainless steel construction handles outdoor exposure when properly covered. Always store the cordierite stone indoors between sessions to prevent moisture absorption — a wet stone can crack on the next preheat.
