Debating whether or not getting one of these would be worth it or a scam.
Anyone on /ck/ had any experience or owns an Ooni at all?

Not big enough to fit a full bagel. You would need to remove the limbs and section the torso. Gonna be a long time to do 6 million

It's not a meme, it's a pro tool. If you don't have the knowledge and skills to make a neapolitan pizza, then this won't help you.

>this jig acting like neapolitan pizza is either hard to make or good
stahp nao

I have a gas ooni, I like it. cooks a pizza in 90 seconds. If you make a good dough and handle it right you can make some very good pizza in it, and singe your errant eyebrow hairs off too

My parents have an ooni that uses wood pellets and they only bust it out like once a year. Easy to use, gets nice and hot and cooks pizza fast. My mom makes dough and lets it sit in the fridge for like 3 days so it has nice flavor and chew and it gets big and puffy in the oven. If you use good dough and ingredients you can make very good pizza. It's pretty good for big gatherings since everyone can make their own pizza and they cook so fast. It's worth it if you use it alot

i make a lot of pizza at home. i use oven with pizza stone, pizza steel, and ooni (large). dont get the small ooni

to make a good pizza you have to make it for the cooking method. the steel is the most flexible and will accept and cook most doughs and toppings well. the ooni is the most restrictive. you must make ooni dough. you must use ooni friendly toppings. you must cook it ooni style. they come out good. they taste good. they are a lot of manual work to do well vs baking is a lot of waiting. baking is much easier. less hands on. but the ooni crust you can’t get from baking

so if you like making pizza, go for it. i like making pizza. i make probably 100-200 pizzas at home a year. if you don’t like making pizza you’re probably going to not like ooni and should use the oven. ooni is a lot of work and unforgiving to make mistakes. it takes a lot of practice. it’s kind of a show off tool for having people over. because oven pizzas can come out very good

Show your pizzas.

They're fine but I implore you to consider alternatives, Ooni is the Beats by Dre of the pizza world

>>21454437 (OP)
They are okay if your budget is small or you just cook like 4 pizzas when you do.
Their floors are usually thin and made of shit materials.
I have a larger propane pizza oven that fits 2 12" pizzas are a time.
The only good thing about oonis is that because they are made so cheaply they heat up quickly but also need some time in-between pizzas to get the floor back up to temp.

starting to think it's time to get one, I feel I'm about at the limit for what I can achieve in a home oven. I've thought about par-baking but I think it'll get too many bubbles in the middle

>worth it or a scam.
Pizza sucks if you are limited to a conventional oven, at least in the US, which tops out at 500F
You want to cook pizza at 700F min

>>21454437 (OP)
These are great for home, if you're planning on throwing a pizza party for 10 or more people it will become a bottleneck since you can only cook one at a time. Use a fuckton of Semolina or your shit will stick to the stone or the hawk and everything will be ruined instantly.

I've got a triple combo propane grill/griddle/pizza oven (it was like $175 on sale when I got it). It's actually kinda neat. You need to preheat that bitch for like 30 min to get it to temp, but it will make pizza. End result will depend on your pizza skills though. It does work on frozen pizza too! Slight improvement over oven.

Definitely get cornmeal to make shit slide on and off. Stickage is not cool.

I stuck mine on a rolling cart so I could bring it indoors so it doesn't rust into pieces from the weather.

It's definitely a meme if you get good pizza from some local place though and don't need to fuck about with making that shit yourself.

>>21454437 (OP)
Absolutely useless.
Unnecessary high heat just makes your pizza carcinogenic.
A cast iron and toaster oven at 375F is superior.

If you can't make a pizza in a regular oven, no meme device is going to help you.

I have the Halo Versa 16. If you want NY style rather than Neapolitan, the Versa is preferable because the pizza stone rotates. We use it enough that i'm having to rebuild it to replace the motor and ignitor.

I had never made pizza at home until I bought a actual high temp oven from Italy, now I make it as well or better than local places.
My dough has 4 ingredients and I do all of it at room temp.

>>21455626
I too keep my room 700F.

>>21455646
That's pretty balmy, mine is at 800 or more

>>21455252
us ovens go to 550F numbnuts

and that’s not even counting broil

>>21455611
kek this. Pizza chains run cast iron pans through a convection oven at ~500 F. It's that easy.
>noooo it must be a blackened frisbee or it's not real!!!
Everyone knows American pizza mogs whatever yuropoors eat, even Neapolitans

I have one and have used it twice in 3 years
You need to feed the fire constantly and stoke it for each pizza
I almost passed out from the carbon monoxide too, started getting really dizzy and sick and had to step away

Basically you won't actually be eating pizzas if you're making pizzas
Best case is someone else assembles and you just man the oven, if you're doing both you'll lose like 200+ degrees between each pizza
