How To Make Your First Ooni Pizza
So you’re looking to how to make your first pizza in your shiny new Ooni oven? You can practically taste the hot, fresh pizza.
Here’s a quick guide to get you prepped, baking and (most importantly) eating as quickly as possible.
Setting up
Every Ooni oven comes with an owner’s manual, and we highly recommend checking it out before you start up your Ooni. Setup should be pretty effortless, but if you find yourself struggling or have a question, just get in touch with our incredible support team any time, 24/7.
Before your first cook:
- Make sure your oven is on a sturdy, heat-resistant surface that’s well-ventilated.
- Season the baking stone by running the oven at its max temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Once cool, wipe down the inside of your oven with a dry paper towel.
Getting ready to cook
You’ve got a seasoned stone, and your oven is cool. It’s time to fire up your Ooni (that’s a metaphorical “fire up” if you’re using the electric Volt 12).
- Review your Getting Started guide or the Essentials Guide that came with your oven for detailed instructions.
- If you’re using a solid fuel oven–like the Karu 12G, Karu 16 or Fyra 12–make sure to use high-quality wood or pellets. We just happen to have some right here.
