What is Ooni Day?
Ooni Day is a day to celebrate pizza, which is a baked flatbread topped with tomato sauce and cheese and baked in an Ooni pizza oven.
Of course, many toppings and sauces can be added, ranging from meats to vegetables or seafood.
How to celebrate Ooni Day
Celebrate by making at least one pizza. If you don’t have an Ooni pizza oven, well it’s time you get one!

Ooni Pizza Ovens
Just kidding!
You can still make wonderful pizza in your kitchen oven or even in your BBQ. Go to our Learn section to find lots of resources.
But if you have questions on how to choose the best Ooni pizza oven, you can check our Ooni Pizza Oven Buyer’s Guide, or contact us, we will be more than glad to help you out.
