There’s nothing that warms my heart more than seeing a hot pizza, straight outta the oven with gooey cheese bubbling and pepperoni or sausage nice and crispy. If you’ve tried making pizza at home, you surely know how hard it is to accomplish that with a standard oven.
That’s where Ooni comes in, and as we head into Memorial Day, you can save up to 30% off select pizza ovens and score deep discounts on a bunch of pizza-making accessories.
For the unfamiliar, Ooni has several different pizza oven models, all of which can heat up to over 800 degrees Fahrenheit using gas, wood, and, most recently, with the announcement of the Volt 12, electricity. The high heat ensures a crispy crust and bubbly cheese every time.
I’m highlighting our favorite picks from Ooni’s Memorial Day savings event and sharing some early impressions of the Volt 12.
Best Ooni Memorial Day Deals
Our top pick: Ooni Karu 16 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven ($639.20, originally $799.99 at Ooni)
The Karu 16 has enough space to handle cooking pizzas at up to 16-inches and is powerful enough to reach a max temperature of 950 degrees in as little as 15 minutes. That translates to cooking a pizza in about 90 seconds. It comes with everything you need to heat it via wood or charcoal, but if you don’t want to manage your heat source, pick up the Gas Burner for Karu 16 to heat it via propane. You’ll also want to add the Pizza Door for Karu 16 to your cart at checkout to help keep the heat in when making your pizza.
Other Ooni pizza ovens that are currently on sale include:
- Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Pellet Pizza Oven ($244.30, originally $349.99)
- Ooni Koda 16 Gas Powered Pizzas Oven ($479.20, originally $599)
- Ooni Koda 12 Gas Powered Pizza Oven ($319.29, originally $399)
Ooni Accessories on Sale
In addition to discounting some of its pizza ovens, Ooni’s also offering a discount on some of its accessories, including 30% off its 16-inch Pizza Peel, dropping the price from $69.99 to $48.99. You can’t make pizza without using a peel to put the raw dough in the oven and then take the cooked pizza out. This one is specifically made for all 16-inch Ooni pizza ovens.
The Ooni Stack is also marked down 30%. The Stack consists of three glass bowls that you can place atop one another. Inside the bowls, you can have individual pizza dough balls, sauce or other ingredients.
Rounding out the rest of the accessories Ooni is discounting this weekend is the Ooni Dual Platform Digital Scales ($34.99, originally $49.99) for measuring your ingredients, Pizza Oven Gloves ($24.49, originally $34.99) to protect your hands from the heat, and the Ooni Professional Pizza Cutter ($17.49, originally $24.99).
First Look at the Electric—and Indoor—Ooni Volt 12
I’ve used the Volt 12 on two different occasions now. On the first outing, I made some Neapolitan-style pizzas; a style I’ve made many times over the last two years, cooking in the propane-powered Ooni Koda 16 ($479.20, originally $599). The second time, I made a couple of pan pizzas.
And thus far, I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the ease of use, its ability to reach high temps with ease and reheat itself between each cook and its overall versatility.
The front-facing dials for creating a timer, setting the cook temp and adjusting where the Volt 12 provides the most heat — on the top or bottom of the inside of the unit — are intuitive to use. Just a quick twist or turn, and you’re set.
It takes about 20 minutes to heat up to the full 850-degree, after which you’re ready to start baking your pizza. After launching the pizza and closing the glass door, you get treated to a beautiful view like this one:

It cooked that pizza in about two minutes flat.
I still have a few more pies to make before passing final judgment, but I can already say if you’re looking for an electric pizza oven that’s incredibly convenient, the Ooni Volt 12 looks like it’ll be the one to get.
