But, at the end of it all, the Fyra 12's real question is whether or not the Fyra 12 can cook high-quality pizza. The answer is a clear yes, provided you're willing to work around its limitations.
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.
Ooni has created amazing outdoor ovens over time. We have tried and tested a few and we are happy to report that they consistently achieve the right balance in terms of quality and performance. In this review we will be discussing the Ooni Fyra Pizza Oven. It is the fourth installment in the Ooni Series.
Ooni Fyra 12 makes it easy to cook pizza. You simply need to roll your dough on a floured pizza sheet and then, after about 15 minutes, slide the pizza onto the oven. You should cook your pizza at full temperature (Ooni suggests 950 degrees F, which you can test with an infrared thermometer). After that, rotate the pizza about 30 seconds until both sides are near the fire. The pizza will be puffy, evenly charred and ready to eat in about one to two minutes.
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.
Ooni's new model has an inch of opening between the handle and handle. It can be used as a peekhole to allow you to view pizzas through the door. We were unable to get a clear picture sometimes after cooking several pizzas.
Ooni Fyra has the distinctive foldable legs, which are standard in all Ooni ovens. As we have mentioned, the unit's portability and compactness is what makes it our favorite. It measures 27.17 by 18.9 by 10.24 inches. It is very small and can be placed anywhere.
The Ooni Fyra has a familiar look to both its predecessors and new Ooni models. It keeps the Ooni Pizzeria's trademark dome shape. It has a chimney similar to Ooni Karu models and Ooni 3 model.
The box that contained the pizza oven was small and easy to take out to our garden. I was amazed at the small size of the box and was astonished to find an entire pizza oven inside.
Once the dough had been rolled, I placed the base of the pizza on the peel. Then, I added the toppings. To prevent your pizza base from sticking to the peel you need to flour it. You can add your preferred toppings, but don't use too much tomato base if it doesn't make for a good pizza. Then slide the pizza onto the stone and bake.
To increase the heat in the Ooni Fyra you can simply adjust your chimney vent. Open the vent, remove the chimney cap and increase the airflow in the oven.

The chimney can be removed and used to circulate the air in the oven. You will also find the pellet hopper on the backside of the chimney. It is nearly twice the size of Ooni 3’s hopper, but it is taller.

When the oven arrived at home, I prepared a batch of dough and carried it up to the roof. The rest--trials and errors, many pizzas on multiple rooftop parties and lots of compliments--is history.
Outdoor ovens such as the Ooni Fyra Pizza oven are the most popular garden accessory. It's not hard to see why. They have been one of the most sought-after items in the last twelve months, despite the fact that many restaurants have closed.
Adjusting the chimney vent will allow you to increase the heat in your Ooni Fyra. It is possible to increase the oven's temperature by opening the vent and removing the chimney cover.

Ooni Fyra 12 also allows you to cook other dishes, provided that your cookware fits in the oven slot. Ooni also offers recipes on its website, such as banana bread and duck breasts. The Ooni Fyra 12 can also be used to cook other foods. This will work with a tiny cast-iron skillet. However, you will need to take the skillet out and turn the food inside. The handle of the skillet won't stick to the oven. Ooni, however, has its own cast-iron skillet that can be removed. I don't like this (the pan is also small and fragile, IMO) so I will stick with pizza.
We also replenished our wood pellets for the oven. We decided not to return the Ooni hardwood pellets that we were initially sent, as they are so good. It costs just PS19.99 to heat the oven with a large bag of pellets (10kg).
Ooni has added an inch to the handle. This is something they do not have in their other models. It acts as a peephole and allows you to check on pizzas without opening your door. But sometimes, it was difficult to see clearly after we had cooked a few pizzas.
Ooni's most affordable pizza oven is great fun. Some cooks may find the learning curve too steep.
Cleaning the Ooni Fyra is easy - another selling point. After the oven has cooled, which can take up to an hour, you can remove the grate from the oven and empty the ash. To remove food residue, I wipe down the pizza stone with a dry kitchen towel. You can wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and soapy warm water. That's all there is to it! This takes very little effort.
The Ooni Fyra still looks very familiar to its predecessors and the other new Ooni models. It has maintained the same classic dome shape that’s a trademark design of Ooni pizza ovens. It features a chimney much like the Ooni Karu and the Ooni 3 models.
I will admit it, the first few pizzerias I tried didn't come out as I expected. They were burned on the edges and not cooked well on the inside. My experience was not good. The general consensus was, "These aren't as tasty as the ones at Franco Manca."
There is no built-in thermometer so it can be difficult to know when the pizza oven has reached the desired temperature. I found that it took 15 minutes for the oven to heat up. You can check the viewing hole to determine if rolling flames are visible. These flames extend up along the roof of your oven and indicate that it is ready for cooking.
It's been used in all weathers. We've made it during glorious summer, rainy Saturday evenings and winter. Check out the story below to see how it went...
Ooni advises that the best place for your pizza oven is a location that is protected from wind and 3ft (1m away from structures) for best results. The manual recommends that the pizza oven be placed on wooden, stone or marble surfaces.
