There’s something magical about gathering friends and family in the garden for a pizza party. The aroma of freshly baked pizza, the sound of laughter, the clinking of glasses and the joy of creating culinary masterpieces together make for an unforgettable experience. Each summer I elevate my outdoor cooking creations with a new Ooni product or two, and it’s nothing short of spectacular.
Ooni Koda 16 Gas Powered Pizza Oven: The Heart of the Party
The Ooni Koda 16 Gas Powered Pizza Oven is an absolute game-changer for any pizza enthusiast. Designed for the ultimate ease and control, this gas-fuelled marvel reaches a blazing 500°C (950°F) in just 20 minutes. The spacious cooking area is perfect for 16” pizzas, but it doesn’t stop there. Whether it’s, fresh fish, artisan breads or succulent steaks (although not for me as I am vegetarian), the Koda 16 handles it all with flair.
The innovative L-shaped flame ensures even cooking, requiring just one turn for a perfectly cooked pizza in 60 seconds. My guests were amazed at how quickly and consistently each pizza was ready. The sleek, show stopping design of the Koda 16 not only adds a modern touch to our outdoor space but also makes the cooking process incredibly convenient.
And it doesn’t stop there, I am so much looking forward to trying the new Ooni Koda 2 Max that came on sale in May 2024. This will turn your garden into the hottest pizza spot in town, the Ooni Koda 2 Max has to be the answer. Designed to accommodate every taste, this incredible pizza oven boasts a 24-inch cooking area, perfect for feeding the entire family. Whether you’re cooking side-by-side pizzas nonstop or baking a giant 20-inch pizza, the Koda 2 Max will have you covered.
What will set this oven apart from the rest are its dual-zone controls, allowing for independent cooking zones that offer unparalleled versatility. This feature will be perfect for cooking different types of pizzas simultaneously, catering to everyone’s preferences without delay.
The Koda 2 Max utilises Ooni’s G2 gas technology, featuring a unique tapered flame that generates even heat across the oven. This ensures consistent stone temperatures, enabling true one-turn cooking and maximum efficiency. Say goodbye to undercooked dough and uneven toppings – with the Koda 2 Max, every pizza will be cooked to perfection.
Another standout feature is the built-in temperature reading, which can be sent directly to your phone. This ensures you have perfect timing for your pizza, making the cooking process seamless and fool proof.
The Koda 2 Max will certainly transform any garden into a pizza paradise, delivering exceptional cooking performance and versatility. It’s the perfect addition for family gatherings and private parties offering a unique and enjoyable culinary experience for everyone.
Ooni Pizza Dough Boxes and Prep Lid: Proof Like a Pro
To achieve that perfect pizza dough, the Ooni Pizza Dough Boxes and Prep Lid are indispensable. These stackable boxes, designed specifically for proofing dough, are a game-changer. Each box fits up to six 250g dough balls, ideal for making 12” pizzas. The lids ensure that the dough doesn’t dry out, providing a professional proofing experience.
The white boxes minimise heat absorption, preventing over-proofing, and their smooth, tapered walls make dough removal a breeze. The easy-grip handles and durable, food-grade plastic construction make them both practical and long-lasting. The Prep Lid, made from FSC-certified sustainable bamboo, provides a perfect workspace for stretching, topping, and serving pizzas. It’s lightweight, moisture-resistant, and perfectly nests on the dough boxes, maximising prep space.
Ooni Modular Table: The Perfect Setup
No pizza party is complete without a solid workstation, and the Ooni Modular Table is just that. Made from robust powder-coated carbon steel, it features a stainless steel work surface that fits all Ooni pizza oven models perfectly. The height-adjustable shelves and built-in hooks are incredibly handy for organising Ooni peels and other accessories. The lockable castors ensure stability, keeping everything steady while you cook.

The Ooni Pizza Topping Station is a must-have for any pizza party. This efficient addition makes prepping ingredients and toppings a breeze. It includes two 1.6L and four 0.8L containers, ensuring you have ample space for all your toppings. The custom-fit clear lids make it easy to stack and store the containers in the fridge.
The weather-resistant, powder-coated frame and stainless steel cover are built to last and fit perfectly on the Ooni Modular Tables. The ease of transport from indoor to outdoor kitchens makes setup quick and hassle-free, allowing you to focus on the fun part – making delicious pizzas for your guests!
Ooni Digital Infrared Thermometer: Precision at Your Fingertips
For the perfect bake every time, the Ooni Digital Infrared Thermometer is essential. This laser-guided, high-precision tool provides accurate temperature readings of Ooni’s cordierite baking stones. With both numerical and color-coded displays, you can choose your preferred interface and easily switch between spot measurements and wider area scans.
The high-resolution LCD full-color digital display delivers temperature information in less than 300 milliseconds. The Temperature Scan Mode allows for easy determination of minimum, maximum, and average temperatures, ensuring your pizza stone is always at the optimal temperature. With Duracell® batteries included and a removable hang loop for storage, this thermometer is both convenient and a reliable addition to your outdoor cooking setup.
Chef Ru at The Spicy Flexitarian Ltd: Bringing It All Together
“Our garden pizza party was brought to life by Chef Ru, the owner of The Spicy Flexitarian Ltd, who specialises in private dining experiences. Throughout the summer, Chef Ru hosts private pizza parties, utilising Ooni products to create unforgettable culinary events. Alongside her dedicated and experienced team, combined with the exceptional quality of Ooni products, they made our pizza party an extraordinary success. They only thing the Ooni oven didn’t do, was play music, but Chef Ru’s team had that covered to as they provided sounds to the delightful rhythm of summer music, filling the air as we laughed and raised our glasses to another pour of rosé or white wine”.
From the initial ignition of the Koda 16 to the final slice of perfectly baked pizza, every moment is enhanced by the thoughtful design and superior functionality of Ooni’s offerings. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a home cook, Ooni products elevate your outdoor cooking experience, ensuring every pizza party is a hit.
