Pizza Ovens

At Nash's BBQ & Fire, we recommend using fresh pizza dough to fully benefit from the capabilities of our live-fire Ooni pizza ovens. These ovens are designed to cook fresh dough to perfection rather than pre-made crusts or frozen pizzas, which may not withstand the intense heat.

Yes, Ooni pizza ovens can indeed cook pizzas in just 60 seconds. This rapid cooking is due to the high heat capacity of up to 500°C (932°F), which replicates the environment of a commercial pizza oven.

Absolutely! The Ooni pizza oven is not just for pizzas. Its high-temperature capabilities make it perfect for a variety of dishes. You can roast vegetables, bake bread, and even cook meat. It's a versatile cooking tool that brings a wealth of culinary possibilities to your outdoor dining experiences.

We suggest allowing your Ooni pizza oven about a minute or two between pizzas. This brief interval lets the pizza stone recover to the optimal temperature, ensuring each pizza cooks evenly and to perfection.

For the best results, cook your pizza with the door open. This allows you to monitor the pizza as it cooks quickly and also manage the flame to ensure even cooking.

Ooni pizza ovens are designed to be durable and withstand outdoor conditions. However, to extend the life of your oven, we recommend using an Ooni Pizza Oven Cover, available at Nash's BBQ & Fire, to protect it from the elements. For extended periods of non-use, consider storing your oven indoors.

To prevent your pizza dough from sticking to the peel, lightly flour the peel before adding your dough. It’s important to prepare your pizza quickly after placing the dough on the peel, especially once toppings are added. This minimises the risk of sticking.

For a thinner and crispier crust in your Ooni oven, follow these tips:

Low and slow: Lower the heat slightly and extend the cooking time.
Add oil: Incorporate a bit of oil into your dough to help it crisp up.
Manage moisture: Use toppings that are less watery to prevent soggy dough.
Thin it out: Roll your dough thinner than usual.
Add sugar: A little sugar in the dough can help it brown and crisp better.
