Dough is key. Make your own or buy fresh. Do not buy dough from the grocery store - it will suck. I have had very good luck buying dough from local pizza shops. Many of them will sell you their dough only which was made same day.
Also, you need to get your dough spread out thin and topping light before cooking otherwise it may not cook all the way through to the middle. One hack I learned is to heat up the stone to 900 degrees, then shut off the flames before launching your pie. Let it cook on the hot stone only for a minute or two and then turn the flames back on to finish it. This is a very successful technique for me since I can never get the family to take it easy on the toppings.
I did attempt to have BBY (I have contact there) and Amazon to PM- neither would. I decided to use PayPal for the added security.

I have off-brand pizza oven and make great napoletana (more than 100 made by now) and if I had to spend that much money I would have bought enough bricks to build it.
Similar to this but sold under a different brand for 240

There are lots of reasons someone may not be interested in or would be prohibited from building a brick oven. Also, brick ovens aren't exactly portable.
The oven you linked is only 12 inches and at its current price ($299) isn't much cheaper than the Koda 12 has been on sale.
I'd imagine this bad boy takes a while to cool down from 900 degrees. I'd also imagine that if you try to use this in the winter when it's zero outside the drasic changes in temperature may be detrimental to its longevity. Anyone use this thing in their garage in winter or is it too smokey/dangerous/etc?
I live in new england and I keep my Weber grill outside year round without problems. Grilling in the cold is no problem. I've never owned a pizza oven so I'm just curious how the seasonal aspects of "pizza'ing" in NE works exactly.
Another issue I have is my kids are very picky about the sauce. They want it to taste like Papa John's. Good luck with that. I have not been able to duplicate their recipe. So they don't really appreciate a homemade pizza like they do with actual takeout.
I haven't used mine as much as I thought I would.

Do you mean the *perceived* added security when using PayPal? My PayPal dispute experiences have always left me unsatisfied, and then I end up filing a claim with my credit card company.

You can cook a lot of things on or in a lot of things. Some things, like this, just do it way better.
