I’ve wanted a pizza oven for awhile now but never came across the right deal…it seemed like they were hard to find for a period of time too. Seeing all of Moose’s great pies didn’t make it easier :becky: although I’m too late for the pizza throwdown and I still have a bit of a learning curve to deal with, I’m excited to perfect the craft.
Ace Hardware has the Ooni Koda 16” for 20% off right now (so does Ooni on their website) I wanted instant gratification so I got it locally.
The build quality is really nice, I feel I got what I paid for.
I don’t have much experience making dough or leavening bread but here I am, my dough ball “doubled in size” so I guess we are good.
Mixed up a pizza sauce loosely following a couple different recipes
Half cheese, half pepperoni for the kids.
Precooking the sausage
Spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, red onion for the adults.
They turned out pretty good for my first time…I had some issues with the pies sticking to the peel, I thought I’d floured it enough and assembled them quickly but still had problems. Maybe next time I’ll use some cornmeal mixed in? I also think I should have worked the dough differently when spreading and I may have collapsed some of the air bubbles the yeast made. Lastly, I didn’t turn the heat down enough after putting the pizza in so the center of the crust was acceptable and edible by hand, but maybe a bit softer than I’d have liked.
I’m hooked and want to make some more, maybe one day I can crank out pizzas like Moose :thumb:

Roccbox with the wood burner 2.0 on they way. Love my Blackstone to death but was itching for a new pizza toy and your post pushed me over the edge. :doh:
