The story of Ooni
Actually, the story of Ooni starts with the story of Uuni, as this was the company’s first name. The outdoor cookware company was founded in 2012 by husband-and-wife team, Kristian Tapaninaho and Darina Garland. After creating a great prototype, Kristian and Darina launched their first Ooni project on Kickstarter in November 2012. The possibility to cook world-class pizza in your own backyard in just 60 seconds was an instant success!

After the first successful oven, Ooni has continued to develop more products – including the Uuni 3 for 12” pizzas, Ooni Pro for 16” pizzas as well as a range of accessories for the passionate pizzaiolos. Due to some unforeseen problems with the first company name, Ooni decided to go with a new name from July 2018 and the company has now grown into a multi-award-winning, family-run business based in Scotland.
The original pizza
Pizza has an ancient history with various cultures producing flatbreads with different toppings. The focaccia developed into pizza, which was first documented as a word in 997 A.D. Pizza was mainly eaten in Italy or by emigrants from Italy, but after World War II, Allied troops having been stationed in Italy came to enjoy the pizza and brought it back with them. There are many different varieties of pizza, but one of the most traditional is the Neapolitan pizza from Naples. Neapolitan style is made with tomatoes (either San Marzano or Roma tomatoes) and mozzarella di Bufalo (mozzarella cheese made from the milk of Italian Mediterranean buffalo). Of course, the art of making the traditional Neapolitan pizza is also included on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage.
