Just the sight of perfectly browned crust and bubbly cheese is enough to reset the week, and it’s especially true when you’re able to share it with friends and family. And the best way to host a pizza party is with a pizza oven, since they really do yield results that rival your favorite pizza shops. It’s very rare that you can find Ooni pizza ovens, a brand revered as one of the best on the market, on sale. But right now, not only can you score one at a discount, but it just so happens to be the bigger version of one of our favorite models from the brand. The Karu 16 was born for throwing backyard bashes thanks to its versatile design that sets it apart from the rest. Shop it 20% for a limited time, just in time to kick off summer. Ooni Karu 16 Hybrid Pizza Oven William Sonoma $799 $639 at Ooni.com We tested both the 12- and 16-inch version of this oven, and quickly concluded that it was our favorite hybrid pizza oven on the market. While we listed the 12-inch in our roundup, we loved this 16-inch version all the same. It works just like the smaller version, only with a larger opening for bigger pizzas — so it's perfect if you plan on hosting guests. The reason we love it so much is that you can use wood, charcoal, or gas to fire up your oven, giving you the option to choose whatever you prefer, whenever you prefer it. It’s ready to go right away with wood or charcoal, but you’ll need to pick up a gas burner if you want to use that as a fuel source, too. Opt for wood or charcoal if you want to impart that freshly-fired taste, or go with the gas for a more streamlined, quick experience. No matter what fuel function you choose, we found that the oven browned, puffed, and bubbled all of our pizzas to perfection in just 90 seconds. The oven heats up to a whopping 950℉, so there’s plenty of range for you to find what temperature you prefer. The flame is visible towards the back, plus the oven comes with a hinged oven door that lets you see into the oven once it’s closed. There’s a thermometer attached to the front too.. We also love that this oven still remains fairly compact, despite all of its functions. It’s around 20 inches long, 32 inches deep, and 33 inches tall. Plus, it’s still (relatively) portable. It has four shorter legs to stand on so you can really place it wherever works best. For peak summer living this year, you need a pizza oven. Ooni makes some of the best of the best, and this Karu 16 pick is no exception — trust us. Shop it on sale for Memorial Day now before this rare deal ends.
