Grown-Up Toys · Worth the Upgrade

OoniKoda 16 Gas Pizza Oven

A backyard gas pizza oven that reaches 950°F and cooks a real Neapolitan pizza in 60 seconds. It is a grown-up toy that produces dinner.

Fair warning: this will become a hobby. Your first pizza will be good. Your tenth will be dangerously good. The accessories will multiply.
