What matters in practice
The differences that matter
XL offers about thirty-one percent more round-pizza area
The sixteen-inch format can serve a larger shared pie without changing ovens between smaller individual pizzas.
How we reached this conclusion
Round area ratio is 16² / 14² = 1.306, or 30.6% more area at equal thickness.
Arc uses about nineteen percent less body footprint
The standard model can be easier to place on an existing outdoor prep station before adding safety clearances.
How we reached this conclusion
Arc body area = 18.9 × 22.2 = 419.58 square inches. XL = 20.9 × 24.8 = 518.32. Difference / XL = 19.1%.
Eleven pounds is the handling cost of the larger format
The XL is better treated as a permanent patio appliance when repeated lifting would be inconvenient.
How we reached this conclusion
58.5 - 47.5 = 11 pounds additional oven weight, excluding fuel and accessories.

What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Gozney Arc
- It is an outdoor gas appliance and cannot be used in an indoor kitchen.
If you choose Gozney Arc XL
- The fixed stone still requires the cook to manage pizza turning.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
A sixteen-inch shared pizza
Choose Gozney Arc XL. Arc is specified for fourteen-inch pizza.
A smaller existing support table
Choose Gozney Arc. Arc has the smaller body footprint.
Regular oven relocation
Choose Gozney Arc. Arc is eleven pounds lighter, though still substantial.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
Two inches changes more than the diameter
A round sixteen-inch pizza has about 31% more area than a fourteen-inch pizza. That can matter for shared pies, although topping load, dough thickness and serving appetite still determine portions.
The XL needs a larger support surface
Arc XL is two inches wider and 2.6 inches deeper. Both are 13.5 inches high. Plan for the actual base and required clearances rather than assuming their similar appearance means the same stand fits.
The basic cooking platform remains familiar
Both use a lateral propane flame, a digital temperature display and a removable 20-millimeter stone. Choosing XL primarily buys space, with an eleven-pound weight increase.
