The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Ooni started in 2012 in Cambridge, England, founded by Kristian Balatka. The company builds portable wood-fired pizza ovens. Their Fyra model—a compact, stainless-steel oven weighing under fifty pounds—proved pizza ovens could travel. The design made backyard and patio ovens accessible to home cooks, not just restaurants. Today Ooni operates globally, selling gas and wood-fired models in dozens of countries. The brand dominates portable oven categories and ranks fourth among gift brands tracked across digital platforms. Their ovens now appear in suburban backyards from London to Los Angeles.
