Equipment
Outdoor Pizza Oven
I’m currently baking with the Ooni Karu 16 Multifuel Pizza Oven. The flagship outdoor pizza oven from the world’s no. 1 pizza oven company, Ooni. I’ve found the Karu 16 to be the most versatile of all the outdoor ovens and most importantly produces the best tasting pizza. The included door and added insulation allow for pizza styles other than Neapolitan without any hacks or elaborate shennigans. The trade off is the oven is the oven is heavier and bulkier than other models, but I haven’t found this to be an issue. If you are looking for easy portability and leopard spotted pizzas the Ooni Koda 16 Gas Powered Pizza Oven is beast of an oven in a small package and affordable price. However I find the learning curve to be a bit of a challenge and it’s not the oven your want for NY style or more traditional American pizzas.
