$398.95
This is a gas-powered outdoor pizza oven that gets hot enough to cook a pizza in about 60 seconds once it's up to temp. It reaches 950°F in around 20 minutes — faster than lighting and waiting on charcoal.
The 16-inch stone gives you room for a good-sized Neapolitan-style pizza. You'll need to stay close and turn it as it cooks; this isn't something you walk away from.
It's 40 pounds, so you can move it around your patio, but it's not something you'll want to haul up and down stairs often. Ooni sells both propane (tank) and natural gas (gas line) versions — make sure you're getting the right one. Some retailers sell a conversion kit separately if someone wants to switch fuel types later.
Why it works
- Hits 950°F in 20 minutes — no waiting on charcoal to burn down.

What to know
