Testing the Ooni Volt Pizza Oven

Tonight—Friday, July 25th—is the night of Tasting Notes, my live multi-sensory stage show produced in Seattle with the members of the Seattle Chamber Music Society, along with some of Seattle's best chefs. You can read more about the event and get tickets with a 20% discount at the link right here:   / 20-off-tasting-134433755   As part of the show, my friend Lee Kindell (founder of Moto Pizza here in Seattle) and I are going to be baking pizzas live on stage. Because Benaroya hall will not allow us to build a large wood fire in the middle of Taper Auditorium, we will be baking using a couple of Ooni Volt pizza ovens, kindly donated for the show by the folks at Ooni. Ooni claims that they can heat to 850°F, which is hot enough to bake a Neapolitan-style pizza in about two minutes. That said, I'm not the kind of person who likes to fly blind into these things, so I've been testing out the ovens by baking pizzas in them over the course of the last week. Watch the video to see how the pizza ovens fare. (Hint: well.) I hope to see you at the show tonight. (And if you've wanted to try Lee's pizza, you'll be able to grab a slice at the end of the show in the lobby, included with your ticket price).
