Can I use pre-made crusts or frozen pizza in my Ooni oven?Updated 7 months ago

In our live-fire ovens, we don't recommend using pre-made crusts or frozen

pizza. This is because our live-fire Ooni ovens are designed to cook fresh

pizza dough from start to finish. A pre-made crust would burn before the top

of the pizza is cooked, and a frozen pizza would burn on the outside before

the middle is cooked.

The [Ooni Volt 12](https://ooni.com/products/ooni-volt) can cook frozen

pizzas, but you have to be careful with the temperature setting. Follow the

regular oven (not fan oven) cooking instructions on your pizza package. If the

temperature listed on your package isn't shown on the Ooni Volt 12, use the

nearest available setting. Do not exceed 175°C / 350°F on the stone or the

stone may crack, this is due to the shock of the cold temperatures on the hot

stone.

We'd recommend giving homemade dough a try - it's good fun! You can find

recipes here:

We also sell frozen dough balls in the UK and US. You can order these through

the groceries section of our website:

You can also try frozen dough from a supermarket, just try to make sure it's

the kind that doesn't have additives like sugar or oil, because those are

going to brown your crusts faster than a dough that's made of just flour,

yeast, water and salt.
