I’m not a newbie to pizza ovens. I’ve tested out a several over the years, but I’ve always had the same problem. When the weather turns cold, my family and I go months without enjoying our homemade pies.
But when I saw that Oprah Winfrey named a $999 indoor pizza oven — the Ooni Volt 12 — as one of her favorite kitchen gifts for this year, our lack-of-pizza-induced winter blues faded faster than the sun goes down these days. I called it in to test, and while I’m working on a full Ooni Volt 12 review, I can report back on my first tryst with an indoor appliance that reaches 850 degrees for speedy pizza making.
