UuniThe pizza party, along with baseball and apple pie, is a time-honored American tradition. We’ve all been with friends or family, gathered around the hearth, devouring slice after slice of Papa John’s or Pizza Hut in good company. And while those are most definitely good times worthy of memory-making, there is a better way to pizza party.

Instead of bickering with your party about the pros and cons of Hawaiian pizza over a second pie of pepperoni, imagine if everyone could simply customize their own pie to their personal preference. Rather than fighting for the last slice of mushroom pie, think about how much better it would be if your guests could fill up their personal pies for themselves. Instead of a sundae bar, you could have a toppings bar with all the pepperoni, olives, ricotta, and even anchovies that one could want, and at the end of the line, everyone could slide their pizza into the oven with gleeful anticipation.

With the Uuni pizza oven, this dream can become a reality; you can be in complete control of your pizza. The stainless steel wood-fired oven can reach up to 900°F in as little as 10 minutes, and temperatures that high can cook a pie to perfection in less than two minutes. Plus, at only 24 pounds the Uuni oven is highly transportable, meaning the next time the family invites you out for a barbecue potluck, you can blow away the friendly competition.

As the saying goes, all pizza is good pizza. But there’s nothing like the joy and satisfaction of making a pie at home. Whether you’re hosting a party full of pizza eaters or looking to make your own personal pie to perfection, the Uuni pizza oven could be a welcome addition to your collection of cooking gear.

If you don't have the outdoor space for an oven like Uuni's, this stovetop pizza oven is also well worth a look.
