Great! Wrote another time about having family parties that include both Vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters.

It was easy to set up just waiting for my wood pellets to get delivered so that I can use it
I have had my oven for nearly 3 years. It is my favorite toy! Thank you for this great product.
Delivered promptly and packaged well. Will add more after I've had a chance to cook more pies.
We absolutely love our Ooni! The pizza comes out just like in a pizzeria.
Our son has not had a chance to use it yet, but he is excited about it!
I upgraded from the Karu 12 after having it for a few months and am glad I did. The larger size is more forgiving (easier to maintain the right temperature and avoid burning the crust) and, of course, capable of making bigger pizzas. I was a little worried about the weight, since I move it in and out of the garage when I make pizza, but it's not hard to carry if you take out the stones first. The glass door and temperature gauge are nice, though you should still use an IR thermometer to check the stone temp too.
So happy I chose Ooni for our pizza oven. We have truly enjoyed learning all the basics. It is our new Friday night ritual.
The oven is amazing. The size makes it very versatile. I've used it for everything. Pizza, steaks, casseroles and roasted vegetables. I've used all the different fuels. The gas attachment allows me to go out and use it instead of my inside oven at a moment's notice. I'm so glad I chose that option. Great design!

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
