So this pizza oven actually gets to 800 degrees. For pizza, hotter is better up to maybe 700 degrees, 750 at max, so I don't actually use it all the way up. It achieves this temperature by using amazing insulation...this is why the oven is both expensive and heavy, so it's not necessarily for everyone. It also takes about 20 minutes to reach this temperature. Thankfully, despite the weight, the oven is fairly easy to carry without the need to be extremely strong by good placement of the handles, and an average strength person shouldn't have much problem carrying or moving the oven.
The great insulation yields a second, major benefit: it is very safe to touch, even after cooking with it for over an hour. I've carefully tested touching various places on the oven, and have not found any spot that could scald a person, at least when the door is closed. This is, I think, a very important advantage of this oven.
There are a lot of tricks to getting a perfect pizza out of this oven. First of all, use "00" or another low gluten wheat flour, and make it the night before with very little yeast (the King Arthur "00" has a good recipe though I would recommend adding some oil to it as that improves the texture of the crust).
A peel is a must, make sure you get a size that will fit. A second, large BBQ spatula is also a good idea, put the peel in the oven and use the 2nd spatula to help move the pizza from the peel. Putting the pizza crust on parchment paper is also a good idea. if the paper starts on fire, don't be concerned, just close the oven and it will go out, but you should trim excess paper off with scissors before cooking the pizza.
Cook the crust first, about 3 minutes, then get it out of the oven. If you used parchment paper, you no longer need it as the crust will not stick to the peel anymore. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings (if you use pepperoni, it goes on top of everything else to crisp up). Cook until the cheese starts to brown, another 2 or 3 minutes. Yes, that's it. If you cook a bunch of crusts up while other prep the pizzas, you can pretty much run a pizza making assembly line which is quite fun at parties.
You CAN turn the pizza once the toppings are on it, or just don't get it too far back in the oven (the back of the oven is definitely hotter than the front, especially once you open the door and let some heat out), so don't necessarily make your pizzas so large that they crowd the oven, and keep them close to the door. If you want larger pizzas, you should make them as wide as the door but not quite that long, rectangular or oval work best, longer sideways than front-to-back, and set inside just enough to close the door. That cooks very evenly.
Searing a amazing steak is also possible but a bit messy. You'll need a cast iron skillet (Ooni makes more than one type) and also, the steak should be slow cooked to about 125 degrees internally in your oven before you sear it. You cannot "cook" a steak at 800 degrees, you cook the steak and then sear the outside. This is known as a reverse sear (YouTube it). I would also recommend using a dry brine (YouTube that as well). Get the cast iron skillet hot, throw your steak on, stick it in the oven, close the door, DO NOT DO THIS INSIDE!
The steak will sear in the most incredible way, and it's best once it starts to blacken a bit (but not too much), then flip it over. Amazing crust and restaurant quality steak is possible at this temperature, but there are downsides:
1) The grease will likely catch fire. No worries, keep the door closed, it will go out eventually.
2) The grease is a bit of a mess to clean. Not too bad, but definitely harder to clean than the pizza.
Even if you do decide to sear steaks, the oven is not particularly difficult to clean because it pretty much burns everything to ash. Thanks to this, it is a mostly self-cleaning oven, though you will want to wipe the inside with a wet cloth (after it cools), and make sure you clean around the seals. I am a person that hates to clean, so a was very happy about how easy it is to clean, just leave it on full power for awhile after you use it, clean out the ashes and around the door seals after it has cooled down.
Since this oven is electric and a standard 120 AC plug, it is super-easy to use, and since it actually gets to 800 degrees, it is every bit as good as a good gas oven at cooking a pizza. I would recommend that you do not purchase an oven that is less than 700 degrees, and do not purchase a poorly insulated oven (as it will get very hot to the touch and be a hazard). Be sure to check the temperature, if it's less than 700 you might as well just use a regular oven.
Advantages:
- gets to 800 degrees
- easy to clean
- convenient power source
- insulation makes the outside safer than lesser ovens, even after cooking for over an hour
Disadvantages
- a bit heavy, but given the importance of the insulation to safety, I wouldn't recommend buying a light oven. Most people wouldn't find it an issue, but if you have issues carrying objects of moderate weight, it might be an issue for you.
- more expensive than other ovens. Ooni makes gas and charcoal ovens for much lower prices that may be better choices if the price is an issue. The electric power makes this oven very, very convenient and easy to clean and maintain, but is not necessary.

Reviews seem moderated. The stone takes too long to heat. A steel would probably be better. Ooni makes one and Is more than happy to charge you 100 bux for it and I did end up shelling out. Product isn't bad but company feels... so I got a break board.. it was 49.00 not $1000.00 they wrapped it in a nice bag. The included knife attached to the magnet on the side. I just think ooni needs to pamper me a bit more for the price.
