Choosing the right pizza oven takes a little research, but fortunately with our selection of Ooni pizza ovens, you can’t go wrong. Each of these outdoor pizza ovens represents the latest technology in wood, gas and multi-fuel pizza ovens, with a range of footprints and cooking areas to meet your space and serving requirements.
Here are just some of the features that make Ooni a great choice:
Temperature
All Ooni pizza ovens share one thing in common: they reach a maximum temperature of 950°F in just 15 minutes, which is remarkably fast. Typical wood-fired pizza ovens can take as much as a full hour to reach the ideal temperature. Ooni founders Kristian Tapaninaho and Darina Garland set out to create ovens that could reach the perfect temperature as quickly as possible. You’ll be ready to fire your pizzas in no time, which is great when unexpected guests stop by.
Fuel
One thing to consider for your outdoor pizza oven is the type of fuel it needs. All Ooni pizza ovens are made to fire a pizza in 90 seconds or less, so there’s no significant difference in cook times. However, it’s important to consider what types of fuel are available near you and how much each type costs. Propane is affordable and easy to find, while wood is generally more expensive, but it infuses pizza with delicious smoky aroma.
For maximum cooking versatility, multi-fuel pizza ovens like the Ooni Karu 12 or the Ooni Karu 16, which take wood, charcoal or gas, are great choices.
Tools and More
Your selection of the perfect Ooni pizza oven would not be complete without the tools to go with it. Start with the stainless-steel Bialetti Pizza Chopper with its impressive curved blade that rocks back and forth to slice pizza cleanly and evenly. For safely sliding pizza in and out of the oven, you’ll need a pizza peel like the eco-friendly Epicurean Pizza Peel or the lightweight Ooni Pizza Peel which doubles as a convenient prep surface.
If you choose a lighter weight portable pizza oven like the Ooni Fyra 12, the Ooni Koda 12 or the Ooni Karu 12, you’ll also want an oven cover to keep the oven safe from the elements no matter where you take it. The covers are custom fit and designed with wrap-around straps that make lifting the oven easy—and help keep it stable.
No matter which Ooni pizza oven you choose, you’ll enjoy creating your own signature recipes and turning out pizzas with perfectly fired crusts. You’ll quickly discover your outdoor pizza oven was well worth the investment!
