I've tested a lot of pizza ovens over the years, and one of the most important lessons I've learned is to keep the oven on a separate table. Trying to balance a pizza oven on a makeshift stand is dangerous, and keeping it on your main outdoor dining table leaves no room for your guests.

However, pizza oven tables are surprisingly expensive. It can seem like a waste of money to drop a few hundred dollars on a pizza oven table when you could just rest the oven on any old outdoor table.
