What Is The Best Pizza Oven To Purchase

The desire for the best outdoor pizza oven is not going to slow down with the popularity of outdoor kitchens. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to test the Ooni Fyra pellet pizza oven.

Ooni Fyra includes a pizza oven cover, serving boards, and even pizza peels. There's a lot to choose from, including pizza cutters and trolley tables, as well as topping stations that include compartments for all your favorite toppings.

The Ooni Fyra offers a lot more fun than it costs. For many potential buyers, the benefits, particularly the price, will outweigh any cons.

I recommend the Koda 12 for large families and those who plan to make pizza the star of their next dinner party. This will cost you an additional $50 and give you less portability than pellets. However, it will make your life easier and bring you more pleasure.

The Ooni Fyra looks just like its predecessors, and all new Ooni models. It retains the classic Ooni dome shape, which is a hallmark of Ooni pizza ovens. It has a chimney that is similar to the Ooni Karu or Ooni 3 models.

Fyra 12 can be amazing, but there are some caveats. Ooni's pellets and firestarters are a must. This is annoying but it will make your pizza taste great. It is essential to ensure that the hopper does not become clogged if you make multiple pizzas. If you can bear to keep these things in view, I cannot recommend it enough. The Fyra 12 is the simplest wood fired pizza oven you can find. It produces amazing results in a compact and sleek package that can be stored away when not in usage. I am excited to continue using the Fyra 12 and plan to have a pizza party with my parents when they visit next month. That is a testament to how well it works. I could take them anywhere in New York City to get pizza. But the good stuff you can make at home is even better.

We have used it in all kinds of weathers: in the summer when it was hot and sunny, in the rainy Saturday evenings that we wanted to indulge, and even in winter when it was just as enjoyable as summer when it was warm and glowing under fairy lights. You can read the rest of our story to learn how it turned out.

Here are some facts about my life that, if purchasing an outdoor pizza oven were like getting a puppy, I would provide to the adoption agency: I have a roof that I can access where I occasionally utilize a tiny charcoal grill, but it is unfinished and a little slanted. There is a table up there, but that’s it. No outlets. No gas hookup. Real sparse vibes. Additionally, I do not like the idea of using a propane tank because they freak me out. The less I have to do in order to keep this oven lit and operational, the better. With all of that in mind, I referred to Ooni’s Compare Ovens page and determined that the Fyra 12 was the match for me.

With this in mind I set it up on a wooden raised table on our outside space. It's protected from the elements by the garden wall and fence that surround it.

There are a few other issues with the Ooni Fyra 12, but they were things that I could have expected and I felt I could deal with. Cleaning the oven can be a bit tedious. After allowing the oven to cool completely, and then disposing of any ashes, wipe down the oven with a dry cloth. To really clean the baking pan, I used a fish spatula with some elbow grease. However, I found that high heat helps to burn any remaining bits.

The Ooni Fyra pre-packaged pizza oven is lightweight, so it's easy to take out in the garden.

After the oven arrived at our house, we made some dough and took it up to the roof. Then, we got baking. After much trial and error, many pizzas and multiple rooftop parties, many compliments and the declaration that 2022 was the summer of pizza--at least at my house- is history.
