Quick Answer: Most pizza ovens use a round deck to match their dome shape, but a genuine square pizza oven does exist — the Ooni Koda 16 ($499, clearance) bakes on a real 16 x 16-inch square cordierite stone instead of a circle, per Ooni’s own spec. If you’d rather convert a grill you already own, the BakerStone Pizza Oven Box ($139.99-$159.99) is a rectangular 5-sided stone chamber that sits on any grill’s grate. Already own a Camp Chef 14-inch stove? The Camp Chef Artisan Outdoor Oven accessory ($179.99) is a rectangular 14 x 16-inch box built for it.
Search for “square pizza oven” and you’ll get two very different kinds of results: a handful of standalone ovens that genuinely use a square or rectangular cooking stone, and a separate category of box-shaped accessories that clip onto a grill or camp stove you already own. Here’s what actually fits each shape, and why the deck shape is worth caring about at all.
Square and rectangular pizza ovens, by the numbers
- ~16 x 16 inches: the size of the Ooni Koda 16’s square cordierite stone, per Ooni’s own product specs — a real square deck, not a round one trimmed to fit a 16-inch circle.
- 15 x 13.75 inches: the interior baking chamber of the BakerStone Original Series Pizza Oven Box, per BakerStone’s own spec sheet — a rectangular 5-sided stone box that sits directly on a grill grate.
- 600-800°F: the realistic ceiling for grill-top and stove-accessory boxes — about 800°F for BakerStone’s grill-top box and 600-700°F for Camp Chef’s Artisan Outdoor Oven — since both borrow heat from an existing burner rather than running their own high-output flame, well below the ~950°F a standalone gas oven like the Koda 16 reaches.

Best grill-top conversion: BakerStone Original Series Pizza Oven Box
BakerStone Original Series Pizza Oven Box
- Rectangular 5-sided stone chamber — stone on the top, sides, and bottom — traps heat around the pizza instead of just underneath it.
- Sits directly on any gas or charcoal grill's existing grate, so there's no separate burner, tank, or fuel to manage.
- 15 x 13.75-inch interior fits a full round pie or a rectangular sheet-pan pizza equally well.
If you already own a grill you like, this is the cheapest way into pizza-oven territory — see our full BakerStone pizza oven review for tested results and which grills it fits best.
Best for Camp Chef stove owners: Camp Chef Artisan Outdoor Oven
Camp Chef Artisan Outdoor Oven
- Rectangular 14 x 16-inch ceramic stone accessory built specifically for Camp Chef's 14-inch two-burner stove system.
- Preheats in about 15 minutes and exceeds 600°F, per Camp Chef — enough for a solid New-York-style bake.
- Only makes sense if you already own (or plan to buy) the compatible Camp Chef stove — it isn't a standalone oven.
We cover exactly how this accessory differs from Camp Chef’s standalone Italia Artisan oven in our Camp Chef pizza oven review — don’t buy this one without checking which setup you actually have.
Why the deck shape actually matters
A round deck matched to a dome oven isn’t a flaw — Ooni, Gozney, and Solo Stove all build around it because a round chamber reflects radiant heat evenly back onto a round pizza as you rotate it. The case for square or rectangular decks is narrower but real: if you regularly bake Detroit-style, Sicilian, or sheet-pan pizzas that are naturally rectangular, a round stone the same width wastes the corners that a square one gives you for free. And if you already own a grill or a Camp Chef stove, a box-style accessory gets you into pizza-oven cooking for well under $200 without a second fuel source to manage. For most buyers who only care about round pizzas and top-end heat, a standard round-deck oven from our best outdoor pizza oven guide is still the simpler choice — square decks are a real but situational upgrade, not a strictly better shape.
