Suggestions For Good Pizza Ovens

Royo85 · 12-17-2020, 08:05 AM

Hey guys, I was looking at buying a Pizza Oven for myself, and I was suggested the Medio 18 Bello Pizza Oven by a friend. Although after reading an online review and checking the price on Amazon, I found the appliance expensive. Could you guys suggest a starter pizza oven that is decently priced?

Ooni Koda 16. Won't get it until after March though.

Will be following this, I know someone looking for an entry level wood burning pizza oven, but they don’t want to wait 4 months for the ooni...

I've got a Koda 16 sitting under the Christmas tree

There are a couple easy hacks to make it more user friendly but looking forward to finally having a dedicated appliance. Have been making them too long in the egg and firebox side of offset.

You can get an Ooni wood burning one for a lot cheaper than the 16. I always thought I wanted a wood burning oven until I actually started making pies. I usually make one or two pies at any given time and messing with the wood or pellets for that is not worth the time or effort in my mind. The wood does not impart any flavor to the pie in my experience and in order to gain success with it you need to build a good fire to create a pile of hot embers.
