Hi: I got a roccbox in 2018 then passed onto a family member when I picked up a pizza party ardore a few months later. Both are propane powered. I typically bake neapolitan style pizzas, finishing an entire pizza bake in about 60 seconds or so. Mostly sourdough, sometimes commercial yeast (ADY or IDY). Lots of fun, one day it's going to catch up to me though yikes :P
If you are not necessarily into recipe books, other resources for you to check out: there's a great pizza making forum where the members are as crazy about making pizza as the folks here are about growing orchids; Serious Eats has a decent base of pizza recipes; then the popular consumer pizza oven makers (gozney and ooni) both have youtube channels with loads of recipes, ideas, and techniques. Tread the online resources carefully if you tend to be easily "influenced".
Many fun things to make with these besides pizza, too. I've made pita, zaatar flat breads**, charred cow ribeye steaks and lamb shanks after a low and slow cooking, and veggies. I did duck confit once, too.
And, goes without saying, BE CAREFUL. Fire is hot and can burn.
** I think it's called manoosh zaatar? a lebanese friend of mine gifted me a zaatar blend and it's like the most amazing thing when it fries up on the olive oil on the crust omg
