Thanks to popular pizza oven brands like Ooni, you no longer have to be a professional dough-slinger to achieve mottled crusts and wood-fired flavours from home. But making your own pizza can be a tricky endeavour without the help of a few essentials – especially when cooking at temperatures as hot as 500C.

Ooni perforated pizza peel

Ooni perforated pizza peel

An essential for successful pizza-making, this perforated peel will help you smoothly slide your pizzas inside the oven and safely remove them again. It's made from hard-anodised aluminium so isn't too heavy, and has a robust handle with a comfortable grip. The perforations are a key detail as they help steam to escape and excess flour to fall away, so you achieve a crispier base.

A five-year warranty is included when you register on the Ooni website, and there's a choice of two sizes (12 or 14 inches), depending on the size of your oven. Ooni offers a pizza peel without perforations if you want a less expensive option, and there's also a turning peel to help you spin your pizzas without removing them from the oven.

Ooni bamboo pizza peel and serving board

Ooni bamboo pizza peel and serving board

If you're after a pizza paddle that doubles up as a serving board, look no further than this wooden peel. There are three sizes to choose from – 12, 14, or 16 inches – depending on which model you have (for instance, the 16-inch board is only suitable for Koda 16 or Karu 16). The moisture-resistant bamboo surface also prevents any dough from sticking, so you can safely and easily launch your pizzas into the oven with ease.

Ooni digital infrared thermometer

If your oven comes without a temperature gauge (the Volt 12, Koda 16, Karu 12, Fyra 12, and Koda 12), this temperature gun will help you quickly identify when your pizza stone has hit the perfect temperature – ideally you want to aim for 400-500C.

Using an integrated laser, it's capable of scanning the whole cavity so you can see the minimum, maximum and average temperatures. You can also easily switch between two interfaces – laser-guided spot measurements or broader area scans – as well as celsius or fahrenheit.

Ooni pizza oven brush

Ooni pizza oven brush

Pizza stones aren't the easiest items to clean and can be at risk of breaking if they come into contact with too much water, so a hardy brush – like this two-in-one tool from Ooni – should be your first port of call. Built with durable bristles on one side and a stainless-steel scraper at the end, plus an easy-grip wooden handle, it can be used to lift off any residue like burnt-on cheese and fallen toppings. If you need extra tips, Ooni also has a guide on how to clean your pizza oven.

Ooni pizza stone

At 337 x 337mm and 1cm thick, this cordierite baking stone can be used in the Karu 12 and Karu 12G or a conventional oven. It offers ample space for large, thin pizzas without being too bulky or awkward to store, and it's not too heavy to lift either. To clean it, Ooni advises using its two-in-one cleaning brush (featured above), then flip it over to the other side when you next use it to burn off any excess flour or semolina.

Ooni cast-iron skillet pan

Did you know you can use a pizza oven to cook more than just pizzas? (Read more in our guide: what can you cook in a pizza oven?). Cookware like this cast-iron skillet is suitable for use in all Ooni's ovens and domestic hobs (including induction), and can be used for meat, seafood or veg dishes. The skillet also comes with a trivet stand and removable cast-iron handle, so you can safely take your food from the oven to the table.

Ooni dual platform digital scales

If you plan on making your pizza dough from scratch, a reliable set of scales is essential. This brushed stainless-steel set from Ooni has two platforms for smaller ingredients like yeast or salt to within a tenth of a gram, as well as larger amounts, like flour. You can use both platforms simultaneously, and measurements are displayed clearly on the LCD screen.

Ooni professional pizza cutter wheel

Ooni pizza cutter

Ideal for cutting through loaded toppings, this sharp pizza wheel has a wide easy-grip handle for seamless slicing. It's available in two colours (black or green), so you can easily differentiate between veggie or gluten-free options if hosting a pizza party. A five-year warranty is also included when you register online.

Ooni modular table

If you're keen to expand your outdoor kitchen set-up, this robust carbon steel table offers a handy surface to store your oven, tools and accessories. Both this and the medium-sized modular table are compatible with all Ooni's pizza ovens, and come with built-in hooks so you can keep your kit within arm's reach.

You can customise the table to work in whichever way you need it to, whether that's adjusting the height of the two shelves or wheeling it into the perfect spot in your garden – simply use the lockable castors to fix it into place. There's also the option to connect multiple tables together to create one large pizza-making area.

Ooni pizza oven cover

Ooni Koda 16 cover

Keeping your pizza oven protected from the elements is essential – especially with the British weather being what it is (i.e. wet and cold). All Ooni's pizza ovens have waterproof covers that you can purchase separately, all of which are custom-fit to a specific model. Each cover has a super-snug elasticated edge, and others – like the Koda 12 cover, Fyra 12 cover, and Karu 12 cover – also come with adjustable carry handles, so you can pack up your oven and take it on trips.

Ooni pizza topping station

Ooni pizza topping station

A pizza party essential, this toppings station will keep the pizza prep flowing as your guests add their favourite ingredients and flavours. It features two 1.6-litre and four 0.8-litre containers, which slot neatly inside a weather-resistant frame so you can transport your toppings from the kitchen to the garden with ease. When guests have left, any leftovers can be stacked and stored in the fridge using the custom-fit clear lids.

For extra storage, take a look at the Ooni Stack too, which offers ample space for pizza dough or additional ingredients.

Ooni pizzaiolo apron

Pizza-making can be a messy business, but this heavy-duty pizzaiolo apron will keep you clean and protected from hot temperatures too. It's made from hard-wearing canvas with real leather accents, and comes with adjustable straps around the waist and neck. There are also three generously-sized pockets for storing utensils, too, plus a handy dish towel holder.

For additional heat protection, these Ooni gloves will keep your hands, wrists and forearms well covered when you're topping up fuel or removing pizzas from the oven.

Ooni: Cooking With Fire cookbook

Ooni Cooking With Fire cookbook

Ooni's first cookbook, Cooking with Fire features 56 recipe ideas that show you how to make classic pizzas, fresh breads, and meat, fish and veggie dishes – all using an Ooni pizza oven. It's written by the brand's co-founders, who took inspiration from the natural surroundings of Finland and Scotland – as well as the street-food culture of London – when creating recipes from the book.
