@@JohnSanders Does your son make cooking videos. Maybe you could do the camera work or cameo him in one of your videos. I think that would be fun to do and make for some fond memories later.
I totally agree... maybe if he reads this it will spark an idea...lol... and he can call in my other son... his little brother and some of those pizza dough and homemade sauce making friends to show us how they do it!!! Great idea!!!
Very nice video. Good outcome. May I ask how you take care of the outer surface? I have the very same model and it looks very dark and stained.... yours looks like brand new
John, does the "open cook" pizza door secure properly on your Pro? In other words, do the rotating tabs at the top corners properly make contact with the top of the oven so it secures that door in place to keep it from wobbling? Mine doesnt, so while it sits on the mounting hook properly, it can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise a bit, which is annoying.
John, just so you know... you have my fantasy kitchen and outdoor grilling area! You are the benchmark by which I will gauge all my future homes. Have a good evening my friend.
It's funny, you're the only RUclipsr I've seen who uses a chimney to light his coals (which I do) but I didn't thing about setting it in the fire box like you ... so thanks for the tip#1 and using to the dampener between pies to save fuel is also a bit of common sense so thanks for tip#2. Thanks for sharing.
I notice a lot of people on other videos build a pizza ovens and don't get it hot enough for Margarita pizzas. The whole Idea is to get the crust to skin in the first 5 seconds. That traps in the water vapor and CO2. That's why 900° pizza's are so great. They almost poof or pop the dough like pop corn. All airy. A pizza should be almost burnt after 1 minute in a pizza oven.
This is a great oven! The pizza tastes just like it does in Italy, providing you practice a little and have good ingredients. I bake bread in the oven. I use cast iron and do all my cooking in this oven unless the weather outside is nasty. It’s pricey, but if you have it in your budget, you won’t be sorry. I wish I would have bought it sooner.
I totally agree... and it is some money but easy cheaper than a lot I have saw people build and way better at getting hot than a lot of them...thanks for watching!!!
Ok. Charcoal. Wood chunks. Wood chips. The charcoal helps the heat last. The wood chunks give the flavor and more heat. The wood chips. They are a great little turbo booster to spike your temp between pizzas and all the opening of the oven door.
I think you are referring to the Samsung S4 tablet that I have in a tablet holder I got on Amazon a few years back... it has the name "Suptek" on the base... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
I make my own sauce, and procure dough from a local pizzeria that cold-ferments it for two days. I just got a new chiminea that I will be using as my pizza oven, and am looking into baking steel as the cooking surface (it gets awesome reviews).
With that tall chimney on it, I’m sure that draws the fresh air in across those coals and stokes up the heat. That’s the big difference over a standard charcoal grill, though I’d be thrilled to have a fresh pizza from either. A bread machine is a necessary bonus to make your own pizza dough at home. Thanks for sharing.
Great back porch. I wonder why I’m not seeing tons of bugs hovering around. I’d be swatting mosquitos if that were my place lol. Great video brother! 🥰
You just might be better off with a little lower temperature and a bit longer cook. Italian pizza flour can handle these wood fired high temperatures. That store bought dough is meant for 500f ovens, that's why the exposed outside burnt so quick.
Wait, are you out there cooking pizza at 2AM? Sir, you are BASASS! THANK you for an amazing review and overview of the ooni. After months of use, would you still recommend this purchase?
Nice oven. You should cook it without the lid. And I think you over heated that. At least the stone was slightly too hot. That's probably why the edge looks charred. BTW the Neapolitans would find a lot of reason why store bought industrial dough is wrong. 😁 Just joking. Enjoy your oven and the pizza.
I think I'm going to use the dough ball for awhile...i think I can be a little more creative with it... or maybe even get back to making my own and try to perfect that a little...thanks for watching!!!
John I've watched a many of your videos and this pizza thing is toooo much work for the savings, if any ???, 🤷 and I'm sure for the taste as well.. if that Hi End pizza joint burnt up my $25 pizza, it would be very upsetting!!!... Thanks for the realistic demo...🌞
Lol...I really love this device and it is fairly impressive for the money I have seen others spend on pizza ovens... but I'm sure my son or anyone who uses it more could make it do some wonderful stuff with that kind of temp...I actually think the one I did was excellent...lol... thanks for watching!!!
What in God’s name? A few notes. Make your own dough. If not, use a rolling pin to get rid of some of that CO2. Also, cook on a lower temp door open, watch the pie so you don’t burn it. And please please please… clean your stones.😯😦
I use it every once in awhile but he has used more than I have for sure... and i gave 599 for it... glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!!!
Think your dough may have been a little too thick. Dough shouldn’t rise that high.Thin the dough out a little more, 90 seconds- rotated every 20 seconds normally for a pie at that temp range. A touch of caputo flour on the peel, pinch one side and blow under- takes practice but easiest way to get the pie off the paddle. Plenty of videos showing the technique. I’m a former brick oven pizza baker from the Bronx.
Oh my god Americans ain’t nothing wrong with that 😂 it’s burnt my best man when you put flour in the peel you must blow it back of a very very very minimum of left over dust flour must only stick to your peel just enough so the pizza slides off into the oven. And you might wanna try to follow the neopolitan margheritta recipe with the authentic san marzano tomato’s and real Buffalo mozzarella and the most important thing is the caputo 00 flour. I think you will do well since you get you’re oven to a almost perfect temperature I recommend maybe using next time oak wood it gets a lot hotter maybe you will reach 500 degrees Celsius. I’m getting my self the exact same oven right now I’m doing it with the Ferrari g3 from delizia. Greets from Belgium
That is far too much work to make a pizza. A regular oven + a Lodge 14 inch Pro Logic Cast-Iron pizza pan over this all day every day! Betcha it tastes better too!
@@Fbelac I've got one on order, they're backordered till March.......I was in Italy a year ago and can guarantee it won't taste like the pizza I had in Naples no matter how you cook it.....fact is you won't have the same type of ingredients you get there....its just made different.
Enjoyed that very much. Thanks for sharing. Been looking at these pizza ovens. That looks like a lot of fun.
Thanks Mark... glad you enjoyed the video... it is a lot of fun and a very good way to entertain friends and family...thank you for watching!!!

Thank you Richard...i do love my set up but I'm sure you could find much better setups...lol... but thank you very much...
Are you supposed to leave the door on when your baking the pizza?
The tall chimney works just like a rocket stove. Smart design. I can’t wait to get mine for Christmas.
Nice oven! I just bought and used it once
Btw....Yours say UUNI Brand, is it the same like OONI....?
Yes... they changed the name...

Great tips with the charcoal and pellets thanks

Thank you... the bugs can get a little aggravating around here sometimes too...thanks for watching!!!
Well done
You just might be better off with a little lower temperature and a bit longer cook. Italian pizza flour can handle these wood fired high temperatures. That store bought dough is meant for 500f ovens, that's why the exposed outside burnt so quick.
Thanks...I might look into some of that type flour... thanks for watching !!!
@@JohnSanders you already have it! The OO flour IS the Italian flour!
If your dough sticks to your peel. Blow air under it.
I use a mixture of sea salt , corn meal and flour as a slide for my peel
Wait, are you out there cooking pizza at 2AM?
Sir, you are BASASS!
THANK you for an amazing review and overview of the ooni.

Did you use it for smoking yet?
I have not tried that yet...
Hey what is that torch tip that self lights?
I got it at home depot...a really neat device with many uses...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders what’s the torch called
Never been a fan of the publix prerolled dough. Pizza looks good though

Try using cornmeal instead of flour on the bottom of your pizza so it'll slide better and will have a better flavor and texture.
I have done that... and i do agree... it works really well...thanks for watching
Cornmeal is horrible.
@@mapledoodle5516 grow up.
Definitely would appreciate a video you of doing some smoking on that awesome thing!
I'm giving it some thought... looks like it should work!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Great video! You have created, "Pizza Island" 23:47 Beautiful!
It did kinda look like an island didn't it...lol...thanks for watching!!!
Glad you did this one John. How often are you doing pizzas on that oven? Or does your son use it more? You said $599 for the oven?

This is not a good demo people you must know what you are doing lmfao
Lol man that pizza look bad
raos makes a margarita sauce also and its amazing
I found it awhile back and can't wait to try it...I actually have a video on Rao's spaghetti sauce...I love it!! Thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders they make the best sauces . their Alfredo sauce is great too
Another great video. Pizza looks delicious. I’d definitely like to see smoked ribs🤤🤤
I think i might try that before long...thanks for watching!!!

i thought for sure he'd say "thats hotter than a sombich"
I think I had to edit that out...lol...thanks for watching!!!
Dock the crust, no more bubbles.
Good video but man. $500 for that. Seems like it should be $150 range. You can get the big mega black stone with air fryers for that price.
I guess it is a little pricey but way cheaper than some others I've seen...i do like that blackstone with air fryers though...thanks for watching!!!
Omg, that guy voice is just like Mater from Cars film. So funny
Lol...It's been awhile since I've watching that movie...I need to watch it again sometime...thanks for watching !!!
.....i have the ooni pro also.... a very funny video, but the pizza oven works very well.......
Thanks... and thanks for watching,!!!
when the dough puffs up just poke a hole in it with a blade and it will deflate
Джон Сандерс, ты крутой мужик! Респект и уважение из России!!!
Is it just me or have most of the Ooni videos seem to be more paid advertisements than real reviews?
Not sure but this one is nothing but me...lol...thanks for watching!!!
got to get one
Hickory is gonna make everything taste like bacon lol
Enjoyed the video and you gained a subscriber. Would love to see some smoking in that thing...
Thanks Carl... glad you enjoyed it and I may just try some smoking in it...i love the thing!!! Thank you for subbing and thanks for watching!!!
Any luck talking your son and his friends into doing a video using the oven. Is a smoking or cooking video using the pizza oven in the works?
Not at the moment but maybe I can get them interested soon!! Thanks for watching!!!
It sounds like such a struggle to speak with an American accent
Lol... it takes years of practice...thanks for watching!!!

You can’t beat coal pizza
Couldn't disagree more! Lol
Bet It doesn't taste nearly as good as a real wood fired pizza
@@Fbelac I've got one on order, they're backordered till March.......I was in Italy a year ago and can guarantee it won't taste like the pizza I had in Naples no matter how you cook it.....fact is you won't have the same type of ingredients you get there....its just made different.

you have reached the melting point of aluminum you need half of this temp to do pizza
