Really impressive customer service** edit 6/15/23*. After 3 months of weekly use (i really do love the oven) I discovered today that my pizza stone has cracked.

I’ll update the review with the company’s response.**
So it’s been an evolution. Starting making pizza on a stone in my oven, to pizza on the big green egg, to pizza in a pellet pizza oven (the ok mimiuo outdoor pizza oven) to this. In fairness I’ve only used it once (a test run last night where I got it to temp and baked some pitas) but I’ve been at this game long enough that I can tell how good this is. I should note that I was mostly fine with the mimiuo. It was inexpensive and workable. The airflow was not great and I struggled to get the stone sufficiently hot relative to the top of the oven (in part because of how crude the airflow controls were) but I was able to make some passable pizzas. I never got the snap in the crust I wanted but it was ok. I always hated the pellets. they simply don’t taste or smell like actual wood. I found myself trying to run the pellet oven with actual wood. Which sort of worked ish. Long story. I wanted to upgrade and the firebox on the mimiuo died so. Here we are. 1) the fit and finish on the Ooni are amazing. There are no unfinished surfaces. No raw edges. 2) it is very well insulated. The box still feels hot outside. But not nearly like the last one, the oven door and fire box door are heavily insulted (and actually heavy). They also close with a near air tight fit. This is essential as it ensures all the airflow is moving through the desired paths. Not leaking in where it shouldn’t. The result is an oven that is hot enough to cook in 15 minutes (and mind you it’s late winter here so quite cold out). The prior oven took close to an hour and the stone was never hot enough. I’m my experiment. I got the stone to about 700F and the oven temp to around 840F. 8” pita bread were cooking in 15 seconds. With a turn required at 10s I’ll do a pizza tomorrow and update my review but so far couldn’t be more impressed.

Un espectáculo
Este horno tiene una curva de aprendizaje importante pero, una vez superada, acaban saliendo auténticas pizzas napolitanas.SantiUn espectáculo
Reviewed in Spain on November 16, 2022
Recomiendo utilizarlo con leña, el proceso es más divertido y da mejores resultados, aunque tiene más variables que controlar.
Con carbón lo he utilizado una vez y suelta demasiado hollín sobre la piedra, no merece la pena.
Lo más importante es utilizar ingredientes de calidad y poner empeño para hacer la masa. Así, después de muchas pruebas y quemar unas cuantas pizzas, saldrán verdaderas obras de arte.
