@ that price why not buy a Uuni? you would have to be mental to buy one of those. plus you can use a uuni for BBQ stuff as well

I do like the look of the Uuni what other food have people cooked on theirs?
Thanks for the suggestion. I had a look at the KettlePizza but they don't bring every model to the UK so I lost interest in it quite quickly. The Uuni definitely looks good.

Love the idea of a outside kitchen too but need to wait until my kids are older and out of "the run in to everything in the garden that can hurt you" phase. Or even better when they can cook for me whilst I recline in a chair with a beer.
Spent a bit of time Googling and coming up with a few options...
Morso Forno - about £1100 on it's own. The "matching" tables/stands are uber expensive (£1700 to £1999 with the Forno - ow!). Looks very solid, though I can't find many reviews which aren't just marketing / PR guff. Russinating's posts and this blog are about all I've found.
The Roccbox - interesting idea with a gas option but have found some comments about it being difficult to get up to temp with wood. Gas obviously makes it easier to get going but isn't half the point of having an outdoor stove to be a man and play with fire?
Uuni 3 - certainly wins on price at around £210
There's a Uuni Pro coming later this year (Indiegogo) but not expect until September, so too late for summer. Multi-fuel option like the Roccbox.
Enta 600 with stand for £799 : more traditional looking beastie
Igneus metal oven - £649

Not at all what i'd be after looks wise but for the price that seems like it would fit the bill pretty well. Plus this is great:
I've got a roccbox and it is amazing.
I've never tried it with wood because gas is so convenient and I'm not convinced the pizzas are in there long enough to take on a smoke flavour. Might give it a go in the summer though. A few have got good results on wood but it seems to take a lot of effort and the right wood.
The roccbox owners group has several commercial operators (farmers market type stalls) using them and I thing a few ditched uuni's for them as they were superior.
Only problem is the price. I think I paid about £300 for mine and they are now £530 inc delivery.
The pizza that comes out is amazing and there's no doubt it's a quality product.

Having tried a fair few pizzas from both gas and wood ovens at home and away. I can say they do taste different, Wood all day long for me.

Interesting. Well let me know if you want any more details. Like I said ours was £769 or something for the oven.
Garak - thanks for the info. We're off-grid for gas at home and have two big propane cylinders plus a small butane cylinder for our camping stove so have a ready supply of fuel.
Darn good price you got Russinating. I've looked up Heritage Morso and it seems they've closed down. Everybody else seems to be very close on price, so I wonder if Morso are quite tight on controlling distribution / pricing. Would try to find a local stockist we could do a bit of haggling with. How long does it take to get up to pizza cooking temperature?
From more searching last night...
Primo 60 Go - £720 plus £250 for the proper stand, though I'm already coming up with ideas to build something from timber with a granite top. Need to sit down with Sketch It.
Pizza Forno - Neo which is £1285 for a full kit or stove only for £1095.
I think I like the look of the Morso Forno the best so far

It's the Primo ovens I've been looking at, was thinking of building it into corner of the garden, have the oven in corner on 45 degree angle.
Worktop to the left and a built in brick bbq to the right side of it.
Shame the kitchen needs finishing and bathroom starting first!

Having been reading over lunch, the company behind the Primo ovens do look to have one of the best web presences with lots of information and content. There's a lot of people selling ovens but either the website looks dire or it's just part of a bigger product range (so they probably don't have the experience and knowledge).
The pizza party ones seems to be well regarded
bit more expensive than Roccbox, but also portable, and could be later built in.
For the insulated domes/tops - is this a mixed blessing ? hindering warm-up time, but enabling production line cooking.
For portability/flexibility and bbq'ing too Kamado charcoal grill
but like the weber, I think people often have to improvise with mechanisms to lift the pizza up near the roof, to improve heat flow.
Am currently preparing dough / using oven stone once a week, and it is convenient to have pizza @winter/evenings - um....

Interesting name to come up there - Tom Gozney is listed as the MD of the Stone Bake Oven Co

What sort of temperatures does it throw out around it?
I was wondering if a log burner or similar might work in an appropriately designed outside room, which then made me think about the Forno going in the corner. Partially as a heat source but with the added bonus of pizza.
I've seen wood burner in lean to/conservatory type rooms, with a flue poking out of the side/top, but if you could have that... could you have a little oven instead?

Errr, it does obviously let out some heat but it's difficult to say how much with it being outside as it just gets lost. People certainly stand/sit around it so it does let off some warmth and that would only be improved by having it slightly inside. The issue then would be smoke, as good a job as the chimney does quite a bit inevitably comes out through the front.
Morso do a whole range of indoor appliances, have you looked at any of those? http://morsoe.com/en/indoor. Though they're not that different to normal log burners in which case look at Chilli Penguin too: www.chillipenguin.co.uk.
