Judging by introductions at appliance and gourmet shows, the most coveted piece of cooking equipment of 2015 is the outdoor pizza oven. Available in gas and propane-burning models, the new Artisan Fire built-in pizza oven ($8,295) from Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet is designed to produce the extreme heat (800 degrees Fahrenheit) needed for crispy crusts worthy of a Neapolitan pizzeria. Also available in countertop models, these ovens are inspiring “bring-your-own-toppings” alfresco pizza parties across the country.
