I hope to get an Ooni oven one day (once my wife finishes postdoc and have a more permanent living condition with more storage space... so it often feels like never).

In the mean time I use a 1/2" steel plate in my home oven. Our oven goes up to 550F and the plate can hit ~650F under the broiler. Still a long ways from 900F but it can bake a very decent pizza in 3-4 minutes, with minimal heat loss (heat loss would be more of an issue with a thinner plate, I assume).

Also no worries about cracking if a launch goes badly and I end up with sauce leaking off the pizza--I broke quite a few pizza stones that way.

Yeah! I live in a condo, with no outdoor space. I as able to convince my partner that the Ooni was a good investment to take camping, to friend's yards, and airbnb's while we travel. It doesn't get as much usage as I'd otherwise like it, but both me and my previously skeptical partner are just so pleased by it! Worth both the price and the storage we have to maintain for it and it's accessories.

Having said that, it does take a significant amount of the trunk, so.. meh.
