Gozney partners with Matty Matheson to launch a new limited-edition Tread pizza oven
When there's pizza on the table, everyone wants to get a look in, and we couldn't hold back from sharing that Gozney, one of the best pizza oven manufacturers, is launching a new limited edition oven. What's more, the launch is in partnership with chef, actor, and television personality Matty Matheson. What's there to be excited about? The limited-edition version of Gozney's Tread pizza oven has undergone a makeover; rather than the Olive or Black colorway, it now features a bright orange design with cartoon extras on the side. It's available direct from Gozney for $549, and although you can't purchase it just yet, you can sign up for it on Gozney's website. Matheson, best known for his work on the show 'The Bear', where he plays the character Neil Fak, has been collaborating with Gozney for 10 years. He brings his fun and approachable manner to his work, which is certainly reflected in the bold design of the limited-edition Signature version. We love the engraved cartoon accents that feature on the exterior of the stainless steel pizza oven, which are drawn by Matty's illustrator, Christopher Wilson. Tom Gozney, founder and designer of Gozney, says, 'The limited edition Tread is loud, bold, full of personality, and just like Matty, it doesn't take itself too seriously,' and adds, 'But underneath all that fun, it's still Gozney through and through.' From June 18, you can fire up a flaming orange version of Gozney's Tread pizza oven, which features as the best portable pizza oven in our best pizza oven buying guide. It's available direct from Gozney for $549, but although you can't purchase it just yet, you can sign up for it on Gozney's despite the new limited edition, the Gozney Tread is a relative newcomer to the market, having only been introduced earlier in 2025. Aesthetically, it's very similar to the super-sized Gozney Dome. The difference is that it can only handle small pies. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Its compact dimensions make this gas-fired pizza oven ideal for taking on camping and road trips — you can pack it up and go. Additionally, it can reach temperatures of over 900°F in as little as 15 minutes, cooking up to a 12-inch pizza. It also has a lateral gas burner that replicates a traditional wood-fired flame for even and consistent heat distribution. However, if you don't fancy the bright orange Matty version, you can opt for the standard colorways in either Olive or Off Black, which are available for slightly less at $499 from Gozney.

Matty Matheson Teams Up with Gozney to Design His Very Own Portable Pizza Oven
Summary Between running a restaurant empire, starring in the Emmy Award-winning seriesThe Bear– set to premiere its fourth season later this month – and getting swept up in theGTA VIrumor mill, with reports suggesting he'll be a playable character, it's safe to say Matty Matheson keeps busy. For his latest project, the Canadian cook and all-round cool guy has teamed up with the viral outdoor cooking brandGozneyto design his very own pizza oven – and the result is both appetizingly fun and unmistakably Matty. Started in 2010 by itseponymous founder, Gozney's popularity has boomed in recent years thanks to fan-made videos that have racked up millions of views on social media. But Matheson's relationship with the British brand goes back over 10 years and, ina postteasing the collaboration on his Instagram, he said the project was 'a decade in the making.' The collaboration sees the multi-hyphenate put his personal touch on one of Gozney's most popular products, theTread, a model the brand describes as 'hyper-portable' and 'ultra-rugged' and one that stars in many of the viral videos found online. The limited-editionMatty Matheson Signature Treadarrives in a signature 'Matty orange' colorway and features illustrations of a 'nostalgic cartoon world' –Matty's World– engraved onto its stainless steel exterior. The fun, lighthearted scene that adorns Matheson's take on the 'world's most portable pizza oven' was created byChris Wilson, one of his longtime collaborators. Powered by propane, theMatty Matheson Signature Treadis small but mighty oven that's equally at home in your garden as it is in the back of your car. It weighs less than 30lbs and has a compact form factor that measures 12.6-inches high, 16.5-inches wide and 19.1-inches deep. Additionally, Gozney offers several accessories for the Tread including atravel bagmade from rugged nylon and reinforced on both the top and bottom and a quad-leggedtelescopic standwith die-castaluminum legs that fold down for portability among others – in all of these, the brand's considered approach to design is clear, from its choice of materials to the functionality (and sometimes modularity) of each item. Matheson, who also fronts Gozney's current'Cook Different'campaign, said: 'Me and Tom Gozney go way back – imagine two great minds mashed into one great thing.' Tom Gozney, the brand's founder, added that the collaboration 'felt natural' and 'honestly overdue', and described the new product as being 'loud, bold, full of personality [...] while still delivering the world-class quality we're known for.' TheMatty Matheson Signature Treadlaunches globally via Gozney'swebsiteand select retailers on June 11, priced at £549.99 GBP / $549.99 USD.

Gozney's new limited-edition pizza oven is bright, bold, and very fun
As a long-time Gozney fan (the Dome S1 is basically a permanent fixture in my garden these days and sits atop our best pizza oven guide), I get a bit excited when they drop something new. Today's announcement is one for the pizza-loving maximalists: a limited-edition version of the super-portable Tread oven, created in collaboration with none other than Matty Matheson, the Emmy-winning chef, TV personality, and star of The Bear. The Matty Matheson Signature Tread is Gozney's most colourful product yet. It's finished in a zingy orange and covered in nostalgic cartoon-style artwork from Matheson's long-time collaborator Christopher Wilson. It's a very joyous and slightly chaotic thing. The release includes matching placement peels and merch (hat, tee, sweatshirt), and slots into Gozney's 'Cook Different' summer campaign – where Matheson plays an over-the-top infomercial host. It's all very silly, but very on brand. Despite the fun exterior, the Matty Tread is still all business under the hood. Like the original Tread, which launched earlier this year and bagged an iF Good Design award, it heats to 500°C in 15 minutes and uses Gozney's clever lateral gas burner for even heat and a true wood-fired-style rolling flame. Accessories like the Venture Stand (with its adjustable legs for uneven terrain) and Roof Rack prep table all work with this version too, so you can still kit it out like a proper mobile pizza station. Tom Gozney says the collab's been a long time coming: 'Matty's been part of the Gozney story almost since the beginning… it felt natural – and overdue – to create something together.' Matheson puts it more bluntly: 'This special edish Matty Matheson Tread is for you. Get out there and make something!' Gladly, Matty. The Matty Matheson Signature Tread launches on 18th June for $549.99 in the US and £549.99 in the UK. Liked this?

Matty Matheson is dropping a new signature Gozney oven
Matty Matheson is a star and producer on the award-winning shoe The Bear, a massive YouTube personality, best-selling cookbook author, restaurateur, entrepreneur, and more. No one will ever confuse him with the ShamWow guy, but that's exactly what Matheson is going for in a new brand campaign from outdoor oven brand Gozney. The extremely fitted blue shirt is all part of an infomercial vibe concocted by Matheson and the Gozney creative team. 'I found that shirt on eBay,' says Matheson. 'Because I just felt like I needed to wear a stupid shirt, like the ShamWow guy or something.' It's also part of the brand's first paid media advertising push for a new campaign called 'Cook Different.' And perhaps the crown jewel of it all is a signature Matty Matheson edition of Gozney's new Tread portable outdoor oven that drops June 18. Since 2021, Gozney has grown from $25 million in revenue to nearly $100 million last year—despite the outdoor pizza oven market exploding over COVID-19 and since contracting. Gozney has strategically used design and content to differentiate itself, and build a healthy brand identity. Key to the brand's success is the relationships it has built with chefs and personalities like Matheson. With 'Cook Different,' Gozney is out to prove it. Meeting Matty Tom Gozney founded his company in 2010 as the Stone Bake Oven Company, producing custom-built commercial pizza ovens for the U.K. market. But in 2016, with the launch of the Roccbox oven, Gozney shifted its focus to everyday people. He knew that if he could convince chefs of the portable outdoor oven's value, then the home kitchen heroes would follow. So he began building relationships with influential U.K. chefs. One of them was Lee Tiernan, owner of Black Axe Mangal. Tiernan was trying out Gozney's Roccbox oven, and was among a few who spread the world to Matheson in Canada. 'Several my friends in England that are chefs were like, 'yo, there's this fucking oven that's sick, you should check it out,'' says Matheson. 'I got one. We used it. It's sick. I loved it. And then Tom brought me over to England and we just hit it off.' Gozney was a fan of Matheson's based on his work with Vice, so was keen to get him an oven. Soon after, Matheson was posting clips of himself using it, not even as a paid ambassador. 'It was so brand elevating for us at the time,' says Gozney. 'Matty was a subcultural figurehead through Munchies and Vice and all of that stuff.' Since then, Matheson has been involved in other Gozney content, but also a sounding board behind the scenes on new and potential ambassadors. Gozney says that it's one of the company's longest relationships and a standard-bearer for what they aim for overall. 'I didn't want to build an outdoor cooking brand. I wanted to build something culturally relevant,' says Gozney. 'And I was always fundamentally focused on, who are the people that we're going to interact with? Even if someone has 10 times the followers, but they're not culturally right for the brand, we just won't fuck with them. And Matty is just the epitome of what we're looking for.' They've been working together for so long that when the idea for a signature oven came up, Gozney says there was really only one choice. 'Matty's obviously got an incredible way about him from a brand perspective, and we wanted to lean into collaborations,' says Gozney. 'And it just felt like the right move for us to start with these Matty campaigns. He's been the leading, most passionate brand partner and friend for so many years, it just felt fitting. It would feel like I was cheating on him if I did it with anyone else.' Enter the Tread This is only the company's third signature product. Both Tom Gozney and Brad Leone have had limited signature Roccbox designs. The Tread is a new oven, designed for being as portable as possible. It weighs in at less than 30 pounds, fits 12-inch pizzas and cast iron pans, can hit 950 degrees Fahrenheit in 15 minutes, and features a stand with adjustable legs, a built-in level, and a roof rack cutting board. The growth trajectory of the company, combined with a new product, presented an opportunity for the brand to lean a bit more into its relationship with Matheson. The limited edition Matty x Tread oven is bright orange, featuring illustrations by Matty's longtime artist, Christopher Wilson, engraved onto its stainless steel exterior. It looks a bit like a Stars Wars droid that just happens to cook pizza. In a good way. There's also a capsule collection of customized placement peels and other merch. 'This was just one of those perfect opportunities to kind of just put a little bit of my character into this perfect thing they've developed,' says Matheson. 'I'm not some pizza master. It makes amazing pizzas, but I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy, so I think it's a perfect outdoor oven. The blaze orange is so iconic.' Retaining heat The videos were shot on a sound stage in Salt Lake City and Matheson says the process was pretty loose. 'It's this thing where they came with a really good idea, and we just started riffing back and forth,' he says. 'It was all just really collaborative. Their team knows me, they understand my wheelhouse, and they wanted to do something fun. So we had a basic outline and then we just had fun with it.' Jonathan Kantor, Gozney's chief revenue and marketing officer says he was aiming for something like a cross between HexClad and Liquid Death. The former effectively leverages its partnership with Gordon Ramsay, while the latter creates hilarious content that plays with our cultural relationship with brands and advertising. 'The concept of 'Cook Different' is about elevating Matty's presence within Gozney, along with our background with professional chefs and commercial ovens, and doing a brand campaign that's more about captivating eyeballs and telling a story versus more direct response, transactional marketing.' Gozney is investing in more traditional paid media for this campaign than ever before, specifically on connected TV, and will have a shared billboard in Times Square. At the same time, it continues to invest in longer form content, like its ongoing YouTube series Pizza with Frank, starring Frank Pinello. Pinello is the founder of Brooklyn pizzeria Best Pizza, and is about to start his second full season of the Gozney-backed show. 'It's completely entertainment storytelling,' says Kantor. 'These episodes get 500,000 to a million views a piece, and there's not a single paid media dollar behind them. So we're thinking about who shows up in content, who shows up on our own channels, and how we can tell stories around it.' In a world flooded with collabs, Matheson says the longevity and real connection between them is what makes this collaboration different, and he hopes it shows in the content and the product. 'We've been both doing this thing since the beginning,' says Matheson. 'With other brands, it's a job, it's how we pay the bills. It's how I'm able to continue my YouTube and continue a lot of things. Sometimes a brand just wants you for this one thing. No problem. But this is very different. 'Gozney has been holding on to a lot of the people that have been there since the beginning, and I think that really shows the importance of true alignment, that is really special and really organic. We have a genuine, good relationship. Some brands are like that. Some aren't,' says Matheson.

Gozney pizza oven that rivals Ooni is saving me a fortune on takeaways
I've never been much of a whiz in the kitchen so the idea of effortlessly creating a sumptuous Italian feast always felt like a bit of a fantasy. But when got my hands on this summers must-have garden gadget - the Gozney Arc Pizza Oven - I couldn't wait to try out in my own back garden. Billed as the "world's most advanced compact oven for creating a 14-inch pizza", the Gozney Arc doesn't disappoint. It reaches an eye-watering 500°C and features a game-changing lateral gas burner that ensures consistent, even cooking. The result? Restaurant-quality pizza in 60 seconds. We're obsessed with pizza in my household— gooey, cheesy, and steaming hot, we're loyal regulars at our local Dominos. But as anyone feeding a family of four will know, those cravings come at a cost. With an average order setting us back around £40 and at least three pizza nights a month (no judgement, please!), it doesn't take long for the price of a premium pizza oven to start making financial sense. Available online for £549.99 directly from Gozney (currently £50 off the usual price of £599), the Arc might not be the cheapest option on the market—but after testing it out, I can confidently say it's worth every penny. I'll admit, I was equal parts excited and nervous when I first unbozed it. Would this sleek new gadget turn into another messy regret? Fortunately, my fears were unfounded. While trendy pizza ovens from brands like Ooni and Ninja have gained popularity for their blazing-hot cooking chambers that turn out pizzas in minutes, the Gozney Arc truly stands out —not just for its style, but for its performance. Easy to use, this pizza oven is a 'game changer' for pizza fans Gozney didn't just send the Arc—they also included a balancing turning peel, utility peel, pizza server, pizza cutter and even the Arc stand and cover . Everything was thoughtfully packaged, with clearly numbered boxes and straightforward instructions. Even for someone who usually panics at the sight of a manual, setup was smooth sailing. As someone with a rather distant relationship with my own kitchen, I was genuinely amazed at how simple it was to create restaurant-quality pizza at home. Armed with a newly acquired gas canister, we had the Gozney Arc fired up and ready to go in under 10 minutes. While purists may argue that wood-fired ovens offer a richer, smokier flavour, the gas option delivers unbeatable speed and convenience. That said, it's worth factoring in the cost of the gas bottle as part of running expenses. The oven features a built-in LED display , powered by the included batteries, which clearly shows the rising temperature—making it easy to monitor progress. Gozney recommends a gentle 30-minute warm-up on low to medium heat for first use to properly 'cure' the oven. In my case, it took just over 40 minutes to climb above 400°C, so shoppers should bear that in mind when they're hoping to whip up a pizza in a flash. This thing gets hot. I could feel the heat radiating as I passed by—it's seriously impressive. Once our dough was stretched and the toppings piled high, we used the sturdy pizza peel to launch our creation into the fiery depths of the Arc. And wow - it cooked in literal seconds . In what felt like the blink of an eye (about 60 seconds, give or take), the toppings were bubbling, the cheese golden and gooey and the crust crisping up like it came straight from a Neapolitan pizzeria. Admittedly, our first attempt was slightly singed on one side thanks to a brief lapse in attention, but our second go was perfection: cheesy, chewy, and utterly delicious. The Gozney Arc is available to purchase online for £549.99 directly from Gozney. And if shoppers fancy the tall pizza oven stand like I do, it'll set customers back an additional £249.99. Of course, there are other pizza ovens out there that also make great pizza. The Ooni is likely the most recognised brand, offering a range of pizza ovens to cater to various diners. The Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven is a brand best-seller. Available to buy from Lakeland for £299, buyers have called it an 'amazing' oven that 'makes great pizza'. Other Ooni favourites include the Ooni Koda 16 Gas-Fired Outdoor Pizza Oven that comes with a baking stone for £499 and the Karu 2 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven priced at £349. A new generation of wood pellet pizza ovens are also taking home cooks by storm. The Ninja Woodfire Electric Outdoor Oven, Artisan Pizza Maker and BBQ Smoker for example, has been called a 'game changer' thanks to its ease of use and effective design. Relatively new to the outdoor pizza oven game, writer Narin Flanders called it " the ultimate outdoor gadget for foodies." It's currently on sale at Lakeland, reduced from £349.99 to £299.99 - read our full review here. For pizza lovers on a budget, the Big Horn Wood Pellet Pizza Oven is £125.99 on Amazon. With more than 2000 positive reviews, one user called it 'a pizza lover's dream'. It's not just me who loves it. One five-star review on the website said: "I wish I could give this oven more than five stars. I bought the Arc model, which is truly a work of art. Even the packaging is beautifully designed. From the moment you open the box, you can see the attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship. I've made pizzas and sandwiches in it, and the results have been amazing. This is easily one of the best purchases I've made for my happiness." Another added: "This oven is a huge step up - heat retention is amazing with thicker stone, and side flame gives great visibility at its hottest point. It looks cool too and gets a lot of love and admiring comments! Awesome." However, not all users found it to be a straightforward experience, with one sharing a less than stellar three-star review: "We are still trying to figure it out. We keep burning our pizzas, or they are uncooked all the way." Nonetheless, the Gozney Arc and its array of accessories seem to have won a place in the hearts of pizza lovers far and wide, with another five-star review encapsulating the sentiment: "Game changer for professional quality pizza at home."
