Mashable Associate Editor Tim Marcin tested out the Ooni Frya pizza oven and found it can make incredible pizza, but it takes some practice to get them perfect. Marcin explains the super high heat of the Ooni oven means it can bake up delicious pizza (800 degrees and up is ideal, according to Marcin), but that also means it bakes quickly and requires some sharp attention. "Once I got the hang of it, I was definitely churning out pies in about two minutes, the added 60 seconds due to my turning skill being far from perfect," writes Marcin.
He also mentioned the Ooni's lightweight design makes it quite portable. "It's pretty sharp looking and light, just 22 pounds. You could carry it anywhere. I imagine it would be a hit at a tailgate," says Marcin.
Overall, he considered the pizza oven to be great. "And the wood pellet version, especially, I found to be neat," Marcin says. "It produced restaurant-quality wood-fired pizza at home. You could taste the sweet smoke. And the super high heat gave you that pleasant char, bubbly crust, and impossibly fast cook time. There is no way, that I know of, to replicate this with an oven or stove."
If you plan to spend the spring and summer in the backyard, the Ooni pizza oven might be your new favorite way to make dinner. Thanks to this off-season sale, you can save $100 on the oven and get ready to impress your neighbors come summer.
