I spent way too much time researching all the pizza ovens on the market. I ultimately ended up with this ooni because of the size and ability to travel with it. This really is an incredible oven! I would just like to stress the point it’s just an oven. If you have never made a pizza before, go watch some videos, make a pizza in your home oven and appreciate the art. This doesn’t miraculously make you a chef, it’s just an oven. If you know your dough and can launch a pizza you will have so much fun!
