Ooni Pro
If you want to go big, you’ll want to go Pro. Although not the most petite, nor the least expensive, the Ooni Pro makes an impressive addition for any household.
You can use the Ooni Pro for almost any gourmet endeavor, which makes it a more sensible investment and a fun new way to experiment with recipe ideas. You can try virtually anything you would throw on a grill and, we know from experience, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with what the Pro can do with a good piece of steak!
But we are here to talk about pizza, and the Ooni Pro will not disappoint. You’ll understand why it’s considered “the Pro” when you dive into your favorite homemade pizza recipe- delighting in a crust like no other- golden and crispy on the outside, soft and delicate on the inside.
We think it’s precisely the wood-fired taste that makes the Pro experience so magical. That said, it’s worth investing in the gas burner bundle to make your Ooni gourmet ventures as versatile as they can and should be.
The Ooni Pro includes the following:
- Stone baking board (2 parts)
- Oven door with a built-in thermometer
