Ooni's Electric Pizza Oven vs. My Wood-Fired Pizza Oven

by Yasser Ayed on March 05, 2023

As a pizza lover, I have tried countless ways of making pizza, but nothing compares to the experience of making pizza in my backyard wood-fired oven. Building my own oven was a labor of love, but the pleasure I get from making pizzas in it every day makes it all worth it. 

There's something magical about the way a wood-fired oven cooks pizza. The high heat of the fire, combined with the smoky flavor from the wood, gives the pizza a unique taste and texture that cannot be replicated by electric ovens. The crust comes out perfectly crispy, and the cheese is always melted to perfection. 

My wood-fired oven is made of refractory bricks, The oven retains heat very well, so once it is heated, it can cook multiple pizzas in a row without needing to be reheated. The heat also cooks the pizza from all sides, resulting in an evenly cooked pizza. Building my oven took a lot of time and effort, but it has been a worthwhile investment. It gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment every time I make a pizza. 

The process of building it also taught me a lot about masonry, and I enjoy sharing that knowledge with others who are interested in building their own ovens. While electric ovens have their advantages, such as convenience and ease of use, they cannot match the flavor and texture of a pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven. That's why I prefer my backyard oven over any other option. It's a true labor of love that brings me joy every time I use it. 

In conclusion, the choice between electric and wood-fired pizza ovens comes down to personal preference and individual circumstances. For me, building my own wood-fired oven was a rewarding experience that has given me countless hours of pleasure making pizza every day.

If you're a pizza lover looking for the authentic taste and texture of a wood-fired pizza, I highly recommend building your own oven. It's a challenging and rewarding project that will bring you years of enjoyment.
