“Juicy and sweet tomatoes with a hint of garlic, salt and basil make this the ideal pizza sauce for enhancing the flavour of your Classic Pizza Dough base,” says Ooni CEO Kristian Tapaninaho. And we couldn't agree more! 

Taken from our cookbook, “Ooni: Cooking with Fire,” and made on a hob in less than 30 minutes, this recipe is sure to become your go-to pizza base.

The secret in this classic pizza sauce recipe is choosing high-quality tomatoes that will make a noticeable difference to the flavour. We like to go for canned San Marzano tomatoes, the traditional choice for Neapolitan pizzas. With their fleshy texture, low amount of seeds and slightly sweet flavour, this variety of plum tomato has been used in Italy and across the world for generations. 

Add fragrant garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, sugar and a dash of salt and pepper and you’ve got a sauce that would make any nonna proud. 

Whether you’re vegan, giving Veganuary a go, cutting down on dairy, or just keen to try a truly delicious plant-based cheese, you’d be nuts not to try our Vegan Almond Ricotta! Using only five ingredients, it’s a super easy recipe that makes a rich, creamy ‘ricotta’ that’s very close to the real deal. Perfect for pizza, pasta, salads and more – this recipe is definitely worth your time. This recipe is by Ooni ambassador and vegan pizza expert, Julian Guy of Pizza is Lovely!

The challenge with making delicious vegan pizza is that for many people, a pizza must have cheese and – until recently – many vegan cheeses left much to be desired. Luckily for the vegans out there (like Ooni’s co-founder, Darina!) the flavour, texture and options have vastly improved. A great example? This vegan ricotta, candied chilli and roasted butternut squash sauce pizza from chef, founder of @pizzaislovely and Bristol-based Ooni ambassador Julian Guy.

The nutty flavour of roasted squash paired with homemade vegan ricotta that’s incredibly close to the dairy version (and tastes far better than most of the products you can buy) is a match made in heaven. And while it takes a bit of time (2 to 3 days) to prepare the ricotta, the results are worth it and perfectly complimented by a kick of candied chillies. Finished off with a garnish of crispy fried sage, this pizza hits all the right spots whether you’re vegan, trying out Veganuary, or looking for something delectably new.

You’ve mastered making pizza in your pizza oven, now it’s time to nail baking bread! Bona fide baker and one of our Pizza Taste Testers, Mike Vaona, created this recipe for a cast-iron bread recipe. Use Ooni’s Casserole Dish and Sizzler Pan combo to cook your favourite bread recipe. Here, Mike gives you the option to cook your loaf using a method for sourdough or a dough made with dried yeast.

There’s nothing like a classic New York-style pizza, and it wouldn’t be the same, of course, without a tasty sauce. With our simple and easy-to-make New York-style pizza sauce recipe (no cooking required!), you can transport yourself to the bustling streets of NYC.

Our sauce is thick and rich and only requires crushed tomatoes, fine sea salt and dried oregano. Less moisture in the sauce helps retain a sturdy crust, and the simple yet robust flavour balances the generous serving of low-moisture mozzarella.  

Check out our recipe for New York-style Pizza Dough for the perfect dough pairing, and if you want a bit more oomph, add some pepperoni (a classic New York topping). Soon, you’ll have the delicious, crusty, slightly chewy and cheesy taste of the Big Apple from the comfort of your home. 

You’ve mastered making pizza in your Ooni Pro, now it’s time to nail baking bread! Bona fide, professional baker and one of our Pizza Taste Testers, Bryan Ford, created this recipe for a Wood-fired Bread Loaf.

This super simple and delicious flatbread recipe from Ooni ambassador Bryan Ford combines tangy sourdough with classic middle eastern herbs. Topped with Za’atar and olive oil, these simple breads can be enjoyed plain or with any combination of toppings.
