Ooni, the creators behind pizza ovens like the Koda 2 and Koda 2 Max, launched a brand-new accessory this week that looks set to change the game when it comes to cooking up the perfect pizza.
Built to eliminate the need for manual turning, the Rotating Stone cuts out the middleman and rotates it for you, heating it more evenly than a traditional baking stone. Better yet, you can simply turn the auto-rotate on and off with the wave of your hand under a sensor fitted underneath your oven.
And now, I'm really excited to eat a perfectly cooked pie without having to get my hands dirty — or incredibly hot.
The new Ooni Rotating Stone
About the Ooni Rotating Stone
Ooni is no stranger to good pizza. Its range screams variety from the portable and compact Koda 2, to the upgraded Koda 2 Max that will let you cook two pizzas at once, to the Volt 2 smart electric pizza oven with added intelligence.
Working across the Koda 2 range, you can swap out your existing baking stone and replace it with this new accessory that'll rotate your pizza for you.
The auto-rotation is great for delivering even results every time, eliminating hot and cold pockets on your pie. And you can experiment with it, too, switching between different modes like continuous rotation or timed turning (which will be especially helpful for a feature we're going to mention shortly).
Look, no hands
The Rotating Stone is simple, really. It just wants to rotate the pizza for you, so you don't have to use your hands. And it comes loaded up with 7 hours of continuous turning time in the 'quick connect' magnetic battery pack (AA batteries sold separately).
Plus, in the Koda 2 Pro and Koda 2 Max, there's a really special feature that could well convince me to buy it. You can level up your pizza oven to bake rotisserie-style meat, fish or vegetables. Pair that with the timed turning mode and you can set the stone to turn 90 degrees at regular intervals, which is ideal for that slower cooking.
So, if that sounds like something you'd love to level up your summer cookouts and parties, you can grab the Rotating Stone starting from $329 at Ooni to work with your existing Koda 2 pizza oven. Or, you can grab a bundle ranging from the Ooni Koda 2 with Rotating Stone at $799 up to the Ooni Koda 2 Max with Rotating Stone for $1649.

Picking up a Koda 2 Pro and Koda 2 Max alongside the Rotating Stone is only the first step in your pizza-making journey. If you truly plan on turning out some perfect pies, you're going to need a few extra accessories in your arsenal.
