Thanks. I had burnt edges and a little doughy center on my first cook last night. Now I can see what I was doing wrong with the oven temps. Hopefully my second attempt will be as good as yours.
I am glad my video was helpful. I am going to make a another video on it, but there is an undocumented feature on how to turn the heat down even lower than low, you can turn the heat to high, then press in on the dial and turn it like you are turning it to off, but the flames will go way down, just be careful you don't accidentally turn it off.
Thanks for showing us how this Ooni Pizza oven works! My Best Friend just got one last month and she loves it!! Now if I can just convince my Husband to buy me one!!
The pizza comes out so good, I have made about 10 pizzas so far, if the weather here had been better it would probably be double that. I was very worried it would be difficult reading the Ooni groups on Facebook but there are some other RUclipsrs with great pizza focused channels that have very good step by step tutorials and my first pizzas came out miles better than I expected.
Those are proper pies brotha! Keep it up. I'm buying one for my needs. Big Marios in Seattle is charging $30 for a large pep! The Ooni pays for itself in under a month. Copped...
Thanks, lots of reading and watching other RUclips channels before I attempted these. It is not too difficult if you make sure that the dough is ready and you don't overwork it. If it feels like it doesn't want to stretch, leave it for 10 minutes and try again. The dough will relax.
Great video. I love our Ooni Koda 16. I see that you got some sauce on your NY Giants shirt and had to dig the Patriots shirt out of your garage rag bin. Put some Shout in that stain and you’ll be rocking the Giants shirt again. 😂
I grew up in RI and MA. I will always be a die hard Patriots fan. My wife's whole family are Giants fans and having to sit in a room full of Giants fans as the Pats lost not one but two Super Bowls to them was brutal. Glad you liked the video and I should hopefully have some more coming soon!
Before ordering and even after ordering while I was waiting for the Ooni to ship I had been reading lots of Ooni Facebook groups and the Reddit /r/Uuni subreddit. I had been very jealous of the pizzas I saw people making.
Are there any other doughs besides homemade that work good, like store bought etc you have tried and what about sauce any you recommend besides just a can of San marzo. Can you use pre made crusts?
I have only used my own dough but have read of people using store bought it buying from pizzerias. You will want to find some that is made for a high temp oven like the Ooni. One of my next Ooni videos will be making the dough. It is really easy, the toughest part is getting the 00 flour but even that is available on Amazon. As for the sauce, you can use what you like. I used some Bianco Dinapoli tomatoes from California which are available at Whole Foods which were great and I will be making a pizza with a lemon pepper cream sauce soon. I think premade crusts may burn but have not tried any myself.
That is one I have never heard before. I am going to have to have someone who doesn't know who John Madden is listen and see what they say. I hope you enjoyed the video. I should have another Ooni video up soon.
The whole time I'm like... "Who does this guy sound like?" Lol... John Madden. Or maybe Frank Caliendo impersonating John Madden doing an Ace Hardware commercial.
@@davegass1650 The Koda 16 uses about a lb of propane an hour so a swapped propane tank will give about 15 hours and a refilled tank will give you about 20. I grew up in Rhode Island and Rehobeth, MA. I live in NY now but still have family in RI and CT.
Get the over hot, 900F or so, then put the pizza in the oven and turn the oven down to ultra low, if you are not sure what that is search for Ooni Koda 16 Ultra Low on RUclips. I plan to make a video of that but have not had a chance yet. Cook the pizza on ultra low, it will allow the tops to cook slower without burning and let the bottom crisp up. Then turn back to high and let the stone get hot before launching the next pizza and then turn to ultra low to cook it. Also make sure that you are not overloading the pizza with too much sauce or other wet toppings like vegetables or fresh mozzarella that has not been drained.
With gas you don't want a full door as it could cause an explosion, there are some aftermarket doors which cover part of the opening but Ooni does not recommend them. Some people cover part of the opening with tin foil when it's heating in up to get it up to temp faster. I have not found it necessary, it recovers heat very quickly.

@@BensRamblings Ill give it a try. Thanks again
Great tips! Thank you! Especially the tip on the front of the pizza rising as an indicator of readiness for rotating without it sticking to the stone.

I've been waiting for this! Thank you for showing it how it's cooked in your new toy!
More to come!
Thanks for a great video. Lots of helpful technique tips! This is one of the most informative Ooni videos I've seen.
Thank you! I will have some more Ooni videos coming soon including making the dough, some specialty pizza and even some chicken wings.
Cool review! Go Giants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Using mine for the first time this weekend and I cannot wait. Great video!

The Ooni has been a great addition to our cooking at home.
Inspiring video. It's in the low 60s in Chicago and I haven't even unboxed mine. Had it since early December
Thanks! Get it out of the box, the warm weather is here!
The Ooni looks pretty slick. Thanks Ben👍
Thanks Bobbi, I can't wait to show when I get more comfortable with it, turn the heat to high and cook a pizza in 60-90 seconds.
Like your pull&stretching skills!

Loved every second! Such a nice fella!
Thanks!
Nice job Ben! 👍
Thanks!
Excellent video. Great explanation for each step. Thanks for posting
Thank very much!
Great family time with your Onni 🌟
It really is!

Jokes on you! I ate pizza BEFORE watching the video, else I’d be so jealous lol

Took me a while to notice the snow ... never a bad time to ooni
We grill, griddle, smoke and use the Ooni all year long. The season would be too short if we only did it when it's nice out.
Are there any other doughs besides homemade that work good, like store bought etc you have tried and what about sauce any you recommend besides just a can of San marzo. Can you use pre made crusts?

@@BensRamblings thanks for the advice I'll keep watching and let you know how it goes.
This looks amazing! Dang.
Thanks! The oven makes it way easier than I thought it would be to turn out an awesome pizza.
Go Pats
If I close my eyes, John Madden is cooking a pizza in his Ooni Koda 16 😂
That is one I have never heard before. I am going to have to have someone who doesn't know who John Madden is listen and see what they say. I hope you enjoyed the video. I should have another Ooni video up soon.

How is you slicing the pepperoni yourself giving it the cup shape? Because it’s thicker?
It may be the type of pepperoni, I am not sure. I definitely slice it thicker than presliced. It is Boars Head.
We are buying one . Great video 👍 .
Once you get the hang of it the pizza comes out great. You won't regret it.
@@BensRamblings Yes can't wait . My wife is an incredible cook .
Does it use a bunch of propane ? I see you have a Patriots shirt on are you in Massachusetts . I am . I am a MASSHOLE 😁😁😁 .

@@BensRamblings Thanks for the propane information . I live in Massachusetts but work in Rhode island .
WHATS THE BEST WAY TO GET KRISPY CRUST?ALSO IS IT BETTER TO COOK THE PIZZA ON HIGH HEAT OR LOW HEAT.
Get the over hot, 900F or so, then put the pizza in the oven and turn the oven down to ultra low, if you are not sure what that is search for Ooni Koda 16 Ultra Low on RUclips.

Just curious why it doesnt have a door. The heat escapes
With gas you don't want a full door as it could cause an explosion, there are some aftermarket doors which cover part of the opening but Ooni does not recommend them. Some people cover part of the opening with tin foil when it's heating in up to get it up to temp faster. I have not found it necessary, it recovers heat very quickly.
I love your name by the way. Nutella Fluff, yum!
@@BensRamblings good point, i didnt think of that. Nice video review. Gave it a like. And hahaha yes nutella and fluff to great inventions. Thanks
Great if you have $600 to spend on one of these things ! They're a total rip off
