I have one of these - bought it directly from Ooni earlier in the year when they had a sale. Wife wasn't convinced until we used it a couple of times. The whole family loves it now though.
Dough is key. Make your own or buy fresh. Do not buy dough from the grocery store - it will suck. I have had very good luck buying dough from local pizza shops. Many of them will sell you their dough only which was made same day.
Also, you need to get your dough spread out thin and topping light before cooking otherwise it may not cook all the way through to the middle. One hack I learned is to heat up the stone to 900 degrees, then shut off the flames before launching your pie. Let it cook on the hot stone only for a minute or two and then turn the flames back on to finish it. This is a very successful technique for me since I can never get the family to take it easy on the toppings.
I don't understand the downvotes, this is 25% off $599 retail. Nice find, OP! And a great unit, love ours.
I was concerned about this as well. Looks like they are based out of Ohio with several different storefronts nationwide. They also have an A+ rated with the BBB.

I did attempt to have BBY (I have contact there) and Amazon to PM- neither would. I decided to use PayPal for the added security.

Did not read this entire thread so I apologize if someone already mentioned this. These look amazing, but if you want to be cheaper and have a pellet grill, the GMG Pizza Attachment is amazing for about $150. LINK [amazon.com]

While it is GMG branded it fits my Camp Chef Woodwind 24 perfectly and fits many others too, do some research or just give a try like I did as I found no research on it. Mine has the slide and grill thingy so I do have to remove that, but it is just a couple of bolts on the rod and comes out quickly.

I had mine up to almost 800 and it absolutely torched my pizzas, you really want a deck temperature of 600-650 for the dough and the toppings to cook nicely. For me that equates to my grill running at about 350. I suspect the Ooni gets hotter on top than the attachment does, but I have no problems getting my cheese to bubble up.

Do not use 'oven' flour like King Arthurs 00 Pizza Dough flour, it is too delicate and meant for lower temp applications. Caputo brand has two 00 types of dough on Amazon, one for oven temps and one for pizza oven temps. I have not tried that brand, but the King Arthurs just crisped up the bottom before the toppings got anywhere near done, it was a nightmare and I am glad I knew that was not how it should be. I was trying to be fancy with the expensive flour. I went back to my King Arthurs bread flour which will give you a crispy and chewy texture in a pizza oven.

You can get away with a single metal peel, but your best experience will be had having a wood peel for insertion and a metal one for extraction.

Hope that helps someone, I love making pizzas, hard to match that taste.

Quote from jbrutman :
Best dough recipes for these ovens use Italian tipo 00 flour. Ideally Caputo. I use Caputo Red. Here's an example for 4 10-12" dough balls (or 2 14-16" dough balls):
1) 500 g flour
2) 1/2 tsp instant yeast (Caputo is best)
3) 12-16 g salt (start low and add more in future if 12 g isn't enough)
4) 300 g water around 80 F

Mix the dry ingredients together. Add water, mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 8 min. Bulk ferment for 1.5 hr. Form dough balls, put in fridge for 1-5 days to cold ferment. Allow to warm up for 2 hours at room temp before making pizza. If you want to skip cold ferment, ferment at room temp for 4 hours instead.

Edit: other flours will not stand up to the super high temperature these ovens operate at; for instance, bread flour will burn very quickly. Similarly, tipo 00 flour won't brown at all in a regular home oven, but will appropriately brown in an 800-900 F pizza oven.
Interesting that you get away with using the red, it literally has a statement on Amazon advising against how you are using it. I recently tried the King Arthurs Pizza Flour and it basically wanted to burst into flames as soon as it hit the stone!. Also I am exactly the opposite and have used bread flour with great success for years, though mine is on the GMG pizza attachment noted above and previously a stand alone like the Ooni but much cheaper. Love the idea of the cold ferment, the person I learned from has me making the dough and then freezing it prior to use and defrosting overnight. It probably accomplishes a similar thing, but I think I will experiment with your method.

"We recommend that Chef's Flour be used for those who want to bake in their traditional home oven. This flour is great for home ovens up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit! If you are looking for a flour that works well in higher temperature ovens, we suggest you try our Caputo "00" Pizzeria Flour Blue."

Is that a kit you buy to modify from propane or is it a specific model?
$50 kit from the manufacturer, easy to install and means you can cook unlimited pizza!

Quote from diavolo33 :
There are lots of reasons someone may not be interested in or would be prohibited from building a brick oven. Also, brick ovens aren't exactly portable.

The oven you linked is only 12 inches and at its current price ($299) isn't much cheaper than the Koda 12 has been on sale.
You comparing oven which is on sale to the one which is not. Once on sale the one I linked will be 200is. Set up alert or just keep it in the cart and that will be it.
Rest of the point I was trying to make you missed. NVM/

For what it's worth… Trader Joe's dough works great.

$120 on Amazon right now...

Edit: saw other SD post about 3rd party scam. Please ignore. There are several listings well under the lowest legitimate sale price. Would probably be nothing better than a total mess to try.

100% sure, these sellers are scam. Takes a month or so to get your funds back.
