Ozil effortlessly buried Aaron Ramsey's cross for the opener and then provided the second for Olivier Giroud in a devastating opening 15 minutes for the Gunners at Emirates Stadium.
The 24-year-old, who led the celebrations with Giroud after the final whistle, joined Arsenal from Real Madrid in the summer for a club record fee of £43million and Wenger hailed the impact he has made.
'The first half (he was) absolutely amazing, fantastic. His skill, his finishing, it's what you want to see in the stand when you come and watch football,' said Wenger.
'Ozil is like the team in that he had an outstanding first half that had everything you want to see from a great player.
'There was individual skill, team play, finishing and final ball. Just sit there and enjoy it.
'I loved him when he was at Madrid, I thought he was great there. We are lucky to have got him.
'He enjoys playing football and enjoys playing with his team-mates - he's integrated very quickly.
'We got so much stick at the start so now I'm cautious, but of course he's given belief to everyone around the club. Belief is part of success in football.'
