It's only a matter of time...

I have a 10% discount here if you want it.

Thanks Gloom, but I won't be buying it for a while

I ordered a Ferrari pizza oven a few months ago after an amazing pizza night at a friend's place, and it arrived today.

Well, wow.

Beautiful puffy stone baked pizza in 4 minutes.

Learned a few lessons. Base should be very thin and toppings scant. The peel should be very well floured before adding the base.

Amazing really. Delighted with ourselves. Don't think we'll order pizza again.

Has anyone used the Ferrari and the Ooni? I’d be interested to know how they compare.

If it’s anything like last year, you might need to order now for a summer delivery. :rolleyes:

Are there none popping up for sale second hand? .
Surely some people bought these without thinking and used them once?

Probably the same people who bought most of the strong white flour during the first lockdown and didn't use it

I've been keeping an eye for an Ooni gas oven for a while and nothing seems to be popping up! Everyone obviously loves theirs

For future reference keep an eye out on Lakeland and Dobbies in the North of Ireland. They stock the ovens in a normal world. I've also seen the Koda 12 on the Meadows and Byrne and Arnotts websites in the past.

I'm cooking steak on my Koda 16 later. The only problem is I've only one sizzler pan so we'll be eating in relays.

Muahahaha

Ive seen them pop up used on ebay during the summer but the demand was so high they were achieving prices that are not that far off a brand new one and in a couple of instances exceeding the cost of a new one.

Yep I had a Ferrari which is the pizza oven that started this thread to begin with, you can see reports on it in the opening pages of the thread. I got it for something like 47 euro in an Amazon sale. It gets up to 390c and makes excellent pizza in about 2 minutes. Sadly though it broke down after about 2 years so then I got an Ooni which I love. I was going to get another Ferrari but then spotted an Ooni on Adverts brand new and boxed (unwanted wedding present) for 150 euro so grabbed that instead.

I wouldnt go back to the Ferrari or anything but for anyone on a budget the Ferrari is perfectly capable, its the pizza oven a lot of Italians use in their houses. If you are anyway DIY minded there are a few mods you can do to them too such as adding a top element.

Thanks. I’ll go back to the beginning and read the comments about the Ferrari.

First outing for my Ooni Karu yesterday! Very impressed I have to say - just like the real deal, and that from someone who has only very occasionally worked with dough. Couldn't get the temp higher than ~450C though, but I guess it was a pretty nippy day.

Thats fine. To be honest unless you're very very careful you'll burn it at 500c.

Very good, they must have added the top element to it as I remember seeing mods where owners would add one. Theres another mod to make the stone base rotate so the pizza gets cooked more evenly but I think thats probably over kill. They are a great little oven though and great value at 50 or 60 quid.

Mine was £140. I think the top element makes it a different beast.

The Calor propane gas cylinder needed is grey in colour and called patio gas. The Flogas one is cream and also called patio gas.

are you saying the cream one won't work? I just swapped a grey one for a new cream one from coop.

I mean they'd both work. One is Calor and one Flogas.

It was the grey one

Don't know whether to post here or over in the Charcoal/Ceramic/BBQ grilling threads but has anyone any experience with this type of "oven": https://www.bbqandsmoke.co.uk/collections/vendors?q=Pizza-Porta

I haven't but there's a lad on YouTube called 'tom voyage' that has a kamando Joe.

carq

yikes they are ugly.
very expensive for a glorified bbq insert pizza stone
my worry with all these type of ovens you be all the heat coming from the bottom up.
Would result in overdone base and under done toppings.

Better off getting a dedicated pizza oven

coley

not the prettiest - I'll grant you that
A heat deflector can be put above the charcol (below the stone) forcing the air around and up into the dome, then with the side entrance the dome doesn't need to be lifted and heat lost.

Another oven...... more kit:eek:
-Coley.

Muahahaha

I think if its a choice between spending 300 on a pizza attachment for the Kamado or spending 300 on an Ooni then the Ooni wins out. Purely on the basis that the Ooni is a dedicated pizza oven which gives great results and you would also have the flexibility to use both it and the Kamado simultaneously if you ever needed to. Horses for courses though I suppose.

What do you guys use to store dough while it is proofing for the 24/48 hours?

I am using some cling film over a chopping board but I would prefer something long term.

Something like this:

https://pizzaequipment.co.uk/product/small-pizza-dough-boxes-40-x-30-cm/

It would have to be the half size box to fit into my fridge.

I have emailed them to see if they post to Ireland.

Any local suppliers available?

IKEA glass tubs. First run out. We got the round ones for pizza dough, but some of them are in the freezer at the moment.

Muahahaha

Are those Ikea ones microwave, oven & dishwasher safe too?

Have been meaning to upgrade my food storage to glass for a while now. The plastic ones I have always get stained by any food with turmeric or achiote paste in it. Once stained you just cant get it off.
