Time to get serious about a new pizza oven

[MartyFunkhouser]

The lack of front door is the one thing that concerns me about the Koda 16. Most Ooni's have a door, but mine doesn't. I guess I will find out in winter if it's a problem.

I didn't realize that one didn't have a front door. It is manageable, but you will have to adjust in the winter.

If it rotates, no front door shouldn't be too much of an issue. If it doesn't, you'll want to rotate the pizza by hand periodically.

I've found I like turning the pizza. It's advantageous for keeping an eye on the cook.

I like turning the pizza as well. Just picked up some dough balls from Nico's. I'm alone this weekend without any kids and the wife is gone, so I'm going to experiment and see how I like the dough from there. I'll still use TJ's dough when making for kids. They can't tell the difference.

The Dude was right about Nico's dough. First time that I have been happy with the crispness of the crust without pushing it to be what I consider a little burned. Nice char marks on the bottom, but no burnt taste. Also, it was the easiest to stretch that I've used so far.

I'll still do TJs for the kids, but this is now my go to for non-kids.

I like keeping an eye on the cook whether she has to turn the pizza or not.

Word on the street is that Portney gave Nico's a 7.4 which is pretty good. He gave The Pie a 6.9.

Yay!

Interesting to see how this new oven does. It is an intriguing option with the top and bottom burners and the rotating stone.

That looks amazing.

I'd like to interrupt the outrage of the board hippies for a PSA:

The Place Pizza in Saratoga Springs sells doughballs. Their doughballs are on par with Nico's and a valid choice for those who wish to venture forth to the land of northwestern Utah County. There's no need to call ahead, and it only takes a few minutes for them to get an order together.

Now back to your regularly scheduled handwringing.

That does me no good. Still too far away from my home.
