i have been dying to buy a pizza oven and start making homemade pizzas but wife thinks it is a bad idea. well i think she is a bad wife!!
If you want, you can start off with a baking steel for your home oven. Cheaper and less of a commitment. If you hate that or never use it, then you learned a $70 lesson. if you love it, you can upgrade to an Ooni
Been doing pizza on steel in the home oven for years. Works great, heats the house up like a mother fucker though.
Pizza in the house is definitely a winter activity here in SoCal. I have put my steel in the Weber gasser and cooked outside but there's always a faint taste of meat from the previous grilling that is transferred to the pie.
Yeah have been on a pizza break because of the temps. Hopefully fall comes before Christmas this year
Had some friends over. Made a couple of cheese pies for the kids, pepperoni, veggie, and 2 pear/roasted onion & garlic, and goat cheese. Tried a Neapolitan style for the first time. Probably should have made them a little bigger so the crust didn’t puff up so much, but they seemed to be a big hit. These were all the pics I got before the vultures tore them apart. The pear one was by far the best despite being the ugliest.
ah, good point. Didn’t think about that it was kind of last minute, because a friend’s wife is trying out veganism. That’s also vegan Mozz on that pizza. It turned out okay, nowhere near as good as the others. But roasting the veggies beforehand is a solid idea
Have the whole family at my house (12 adults and 3 kids). Had this oven for about 1.5 years but first use was tonight for reasons. Decided to learn the oven on gas and then use wood later since there was so many people here. Solo Stove sells some Neapolitan dough balls and they worked really well. That is another thing I will learn down the road, dough. Had a buttload of toppings and everyone got to build their own. Cooked 15 pies tonight and loved it. Last pic is my pie done last. Hot soppressata, italian sausage, basil, and fresh mozzarella.
Little man has asked for pizza every night since Friday. I told him we will do it on weekends from now on.
Gorgeous I am still on a Facebook page for pizza and some people complain about the char. Makes me laugh
