Todd YOU are the absolute best !! I really like everyone that represents Blackstone , but I really have to say that you're my favorite. You know what you're doing with your cooks and you just make the video fun and informative. Plus the fact that you're a religious man does it for me. God bless you and your family and keep the awesome videos coming. Fan for life !!
First... I LOVE the soundtrack to this video! Second... I think the rotating pizza stone is brilliant! Third... I "just" made pizza tonight (no kidding) and I have for decades, used Franks Hot Sauce on it. - Too funny Todd - Cheers Dude!
I just bought mine (Blackstone Pizza Oven & Cart) from Walmart and have not cooked on it yet. But I will update you soon. These reviews helped me make my decision with a 16" pizza oven and a rotating stone. The key was the burner its massive quick pizza's I can't wait to bring the family over for Pizza night!!!
Great run through and process Todd. This is a great pizza oven for sure. After getting the new griddle and then the 22-inch eseries with a large bunch of accessories, this will have to wait a bit and at the price, that's a serious investment you want to use a lot.
That thing is basically your home oven set outside with a stone thrown in it. Not a brick oven, which is what you would want to build if you were spending money on it.
If your bottom stone is that hot you actually need to crank the burner up at launch on the BS so the top will finish even remotely close to the same time. That or dome it. If you turn the burner down, you are getting just the bottom heat from the stone and no heat rolling up the side and over the top of the pie. You saw how the top was almost raw but the bottom was starting to char when you first pulled it the first time.
It's a poor design. It's a stone, too. Why would anyone buy this when you can buy a steel and get the hotter material with a quicker cook and then use your broiler to hit the top. The stone is outdated.
@@afmartin2734 steel is a crutch for use in an oven not capable of hitting higher temps. i don't think it's an improvement over stone. steel and a broiler is fine if your stuck with a home oven only.
Cool to have I bet! I couldn't justify spending $800 for something that cooks very close to the same as my $20 stone in my oven. Now I'd spend that on a real wood fire oizza oven though! Whole different flavor
A big thank you to THE Scuba Trucker! Means a lot to me that you have watched show me my videos and have been commenting for year after year! God bless you.
Great looking pizza's Todd. I got the griddle topper pizza oven about 6 months ago and it does OK. Just might have to upgrade to this new pizza oven and sell the other one. Can't wait to see other items cooked on this new pizza oven. Thanks.
Hey there. Thanks for the laughs. No, no Blackstone tattoo. At 50 years old, I don’t think I’m gonna start getting any tattoos. Lol. Have a great week!
@@BlackstoneGriddles 🤣🤣🤣 You think I should huh? Well my patio area got wrecked but hurricane Ian. Soon as it's rebuilt I'm looking into getting the Blackstone 4-Burner 36" Griddle with Air Fryer and Hood. It will be my first Blackstone purchase if I got it
I purchased the original. When it works, it does a great job. The trouble is the bearing they used under the rotating base rusts and seizes up within three uses. Zero customer service. They couldn't care less. I've changed the bearing twice and added high-temperature grease. This lasted 5 uses. Then I rebuilt it again and I added a makeshift heat shield. Oh, and when the rotating base seizes it burns out the rotisserie motor. Again, customer service couldn't care less. Hopefully, the re-design of the rotating base can handle the heat.
@@afmartin2734 Thank you. I agree. I use a 3/8 inch thick slab of aluminum in my regular kitchen oven and it makes a great New York Style pizza. Doesn't get hot enough for a Neapolitan pizza but hey, at least I have pizza.
That looks fantatsic! I personally use Ragu or Prego pasta sauce for my pizzas and I find that cutting from the center out makes things a lot easier too. I like pepperoni and I also like green pepper and onion with no sauce.
One thing that most people don't realize about the Blackstone pizza rocker is that you can infuse the Sword Dance ash of war and cut an entire pizza for just 12 FP.
I noticed you didn’t show the bottom of the first pizza 😂 Honestly a good looking product, I will continue to use a stone on top of my 22” Adventure Ready Blackstone.
Would love one but I just took my first gen stainless steel 36” and a beef eater pizza oven and made a pizza oven with a plasma cutter also would love to see a switch on the rotation so it could be switched off for loading and unloading. nice tutorial though, another great product by blackstone
I absolutely LOVE my Blackstone Pizza oven attachment for the 22" Griddle. I use it all the time. I am surprised to see the new stand alone oven does not have a traditional thermometer. I cook mine between 550 and 600. it would be difficult to have to use a thermal gun every cook.
Actually, a rolling pin is good to use if you are looking for a thinner, crispy crust. Something akin to a NY style. It forces out the air so that the crust doesn't rise as much during baking. If you want your crust to rise and be a bit thicker and more bread like, then don't use the rolling pin. Never apologize for getting the job done. Any haters can make like a tree and leave.
Right, but NY style has tons of air pockets. He's basically making a flatbread. Frankly, that's the ONLY pizza you can make on a grill. Grills are awful for pizza and this just proves it. It's a gas grill with a stone inside it.
Blackstone should’ve engineered a side flame gas/wood oven in line with the competition. The rotating disk doesn’t compare to a side flame that arches overhead. Traditional Neapolitan pizza and others are made this way. Crust is key in pizza. Love my blackstone grill by the way.
Todd, I am a part of a camping group located on the front range that would enjoy hearing you speak/sell at one of our rallies. How can I talk to you directly to set that up or do I need to talk to Blackstone? Thank you.
hey i live in Jeannette pa and i also use Delallo pizza sauce its a Italian store with great breads sauces and cold meats and cheeses ,so im in the market for a pizza oven would you buy it again thanks great vid mark
I would love to have one, but no way I make enough pizza for it to be worth my time. Plus I'm sooooo lazy when it comes to dough. Can you use a pre-made crust or would it be too burned by the time the toppings were done?
You can cook any pizza you like from frozen to fresh dough to par cooked pizzas. Walmart sells great par cooked crust pizzas delicious and cheap. Love my new Blackstone pizza oven a lot of fun too.
Oh wow. Thanks for the reply. Now I need to open my own pizza restaurant. It's just me in the house, so I don't eat THAT much homemade pizza. I'd love to see someones video just doing a frozen one to see now long it takes. :) I can't imagine 90seconds still.
I had previous pizza ovens and cleaning them is horrible. Oven door has a small opening and a non removal stone, which is horrible to clean. I wish who ever is designing these pizza ovens, would think about a better option for cleaning the inside of the oven. Does the top lift open to clean the inside of the oven?
Just received mine today. Won’t stay lit. Support asked me to try numerous options and nothing worked. $800 and it doesn’t work out the box. What a joke! @blackstone what are you going to do to fix this?
I am a huge BS griddle fan.... That being said the open cart with those extended caster supports (yes, I understand they are for stability) are a no buy for me. We'll see a newer version in a year or two with those two things changed as in typical BS fashion. I don't know anything about pizza ovens so I won't comment on the functionality of that part, but it appears to work very well.
It has two power sources. Your choice of 2D batteries or electric. On the previous model I had the same to D batteries in mind for several years. They lasted forever.
Todd YOU are the absolute best !!

Looks amazing. Burnt edges are what I want. That’s what I like about brick ovens. It’s cool that this can replicate that.
Mines in the garage in the box. Can’t wait to build and cook!
We can't wait to see your first pizza! Welcome to the Pizza Party!
First... I LOVE the soundtrack to this video!

Would LOVE to have one. But Dang that price I will have to keep using the oven in house.
Man I hear you. Plus me being up in Toronto- Canada, even if I could get one, the price would be like buying a small car I’m sure! 🇨🇦
Get you a pizza stone at wallmart and use the bbq pit
That thing is basically your home oven set outside with a stone thrown in it. Not a brick oven, which is what you would want to build if you were spending money on it.
I hear ya . Would be nice , but economy isn't the best right now
@@jeremyisensee9546 home ovens do not go to 900°
The first pie was the best, no flop please.
Liking the Blackstone pizza oven Todd, great job making pizza's.👍☘️😎
Thanks for watching, Donald!! I hope you have a great week!
Practice makes perfect. It’s not burnt….it’s extra crispy!!👍👍👍

They look amazing! I like my crust and edges a bit charred 🤩🔥
Thanks, Kelly! I hope you have a great weekend!😊
Just watched the video for a second time, always nice to refresh your memory.
That is a beautiful thing, nice char as well. At first I was worried, but the bottom looks beautiful.

Thank you so much for watching him for the kind words!
Thanks for watching!
Dello is great! I use it all the time because of you.
Thanks for watching, William!
Great video Todd. I can’t wait to start making some pizza in my pizza oven. I definitely need to work on my pizza forming skills though
Love it and will enjoy more recipes you do on this one Todd!
Thanks for watching, Steven!
I bet that pizza oven would make a great Khachapuri, which would be a pretty cool game day appetizer.
Todd Toven! 💯😝 Hope you've had a blessed New Year.
You too!
Thanks!!! You too!!
Looks amazing Todd!!! Can't wait to let my wife know what I want for my Birthday!
Those burnt edges are the BEST !
Looks great Todd.😋😋😘

Never poke the air bubbles 😂. Best part!
Dude do you have a Blackstone tattoo? I'm guessing several. You are a good spokesperson for them! Your videos made me want a griddle
Hey there. Thanks for the laughs. No, no Blackstone tattoo. At 50 years old, I don’t think I’m gonna start getting any tattoos. Lol. Have a great week!
We think you should get a griddle.

I’m from NY and a pizza snob. Your pizza looks delicious my friend…subscribed
I’d rather see more the operational and technical aspects of this oven than how to make pizza. WOT!
Glad seeing PA getting love
If its not burnt I don't want it!!!!! Those are perfect!!!!!

He also likes undercooking the pizza. The last one in particulary has no browning at all.

Love my 22” conversion pizza oven. I just made homemade bread in it. Baguettes.
Boyd, that sounds great! I need to learn to make bread like that. God bless!
@@praisehisawesomename I sent you in messenger a link to the recipe for the baguettes. Patrick Ryan is a you tuber and has great bread making videos.
Sir I applaud your pizza. Looks nearly perfect.

I dig it!
If you want to cook the toppings without cooking the crust much more, you can lift the pizza with peel and hold it near the top.
Not true
True
Looks totally delicious 😋

Looks nice. I still have the original and love it. I was hoping the new one would allow for at least an 18 inch pizza
Great job sir love to have one some day
I sure hope these become available soon!
They are.
Wow who knew how good Tod was on the pizza sauce jars 🎵🎶😄
LOL! You are cracking me up, Nae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Burnt edges mean flavor to me yummy
I was very excited about this until I saw its gas fired. I would love a unit like this that works on wood splits or anthracite coal
Yep. It' slike if you put your stone on your gas grill. It doesn't work.
much love from littleton
Making me hungry.
Need that flame curling around the ceiling. Maybe gen 3? 🤷♀️
Todd, I am a part of a camping group located on the front range that would enjoy hearing you speak/sell at one of our rallies. How can I talk to you directly to set that up or do I need to talk to Blackstone? Thank you.
Do you have to plug this in? Since it has turning stone
Im gonna leave you alone on this one since you are a nice guy!! Mama Mia!
Love those crispy edges👍 This looks so fun😊
Thanks, Bobbi!!! You are the best!
Pass a slice Todd! Those pizzas look delicious!!!
A slice of pizza coming right up! Cheese or pepperoni for ya?
I just got this. Do you know what the chain thing that hangs from the side is for?
Need a way to add smoke flavor. Great video!
You should have a pizzaioli make the pizza on your channel. The oven has much more potential than what this man is showing.
Just snagged one of these from Walmart on clearance for $250
when placing the pizza turn off the rotation feature then turn it on after the pizza is on the stone...
just use a can of whole peeled tomatoes, Cento San Marz are perfect. Add salt & evoo & basil. better than nasty jar sauce.
What's the big axe seasoning like?
Another good video buddy and way to give a shout out to us in Northwest Pennsylvania. Go Steelers
hey i live in Jeannette pa and i also use Delallo pizza sauce its a Italian store with great breads sauces and cold meats and cheeses ,so im in the market for a pizza oven would you buy it again thanks great vid mark
Delallo ❤
Ooooo yum!!! I really could use a pizza oven!!! I make homemade pizzas a lot! 😃🍕🍕🍕Praise the Lord and pass the delicious pizza 🍕
Black spot pizza. That's all you need to know
This will be great for searing steaks.
Did you go to the Eastgate Jungle Jim’s or Fairfield?
nice
What powers the turning stones?
looking good !
We couldn't agree more!
Nice job god bless

@@scottyflamingo1413manual says to let frozen pies thaw a little so you don't crack the stone.
Can you buy just the pizza oven without the cart? Thanks, nice looking pizzas
Yes.
What is the first thing we do with the grill before we use it?do we have to pre treat?please let me know,l would like to buy one.
I would do a burn off. Turn heat on slowly then turn it up for 25 minutes.
I don't know. They've had so many versions of this and have problems. Keep redoing them
They only had one version that had trouble. The new ones are great. I have 22” add on. Its been fine and works great.
I had previous pizza ovens and cleaning them is horrible. Oven door has a small opening and a non removal stone, which is horrible to clean. I wish who ever is designing these pizza ovens, would think about a better option for cleaning the inside of the oven. Does the top lift open to clean the inside of the oven?
Top comes off and both stones are removable (by hand in one second).
Any idea how many pizzas per propane tank?
Buy some Rao's pizza sauce. It's amazing!
Is there a natural gas conversion kit available for this pizza oven to use instead of propane?
No there is not.
Looks awesome but cannot afford
Link for your wood pizza peel? Thanks for all you do!
On the blackstone website
@@DareDog. I didn't see the wood peel on their site. Link?
@@djdannis I picked it up on Amazon about 5 or 6 years ago.
Why they went with a cordierite stone instead of a steel--esp. since it's coming from Blackstone--is beyond me. Steels make better pizzas than stones.
Did I hear correctly you can only get the pizza oven from blackstone products website and not Lowe’s or Walmart for example?
Yes. I think its only temporary though.
Yes that's correct. Right now it's only available on the Blackstone Product's website.
@@BlackstoneGriddles thank you I appreciate the comment back
@@DareDog. thank you I appreciate the comment. I hope it’s temporary also.
How do you clean the pizza stone?
They have cleaning brush. Or just her really hot and it comes off

Just received mine today. Won’t stay lit. Support asked me to try numerous options and nothing worked. $800 and it doesn’t work out the box. What a joke! @blackstone what are you going to do to fix this?
We’re gonna need a bigger deck……
$800 to cook a pizza though? I love pizza but damn. My smoker was less and does more things. That's pretty disappointing, it looks cool.

How big is the stone?
16”
So this needs a power source to operates the turntable, how long is the cord? So as to keep the pizza oven far enough away from our vinyl siding
It has two power sources. Your choice of 2D batteries or electric. On the previous model I had the same to D batteries in mind for several years. They lasted forever.
