Can I use pre-made crusts or frozen pizza in my Ooni oven?

In our live-fire ovens, we don't recommend using pre-made crusts or frozen pizza. This is because our live-fire Ooni ovens are designed to cook fresh pizza dough from start to finish. A pre-made crust would burn before the top of the pizza is cooked, and a frozen pizza would burn on the outside before the middle is cooked.

The Ooni Volt 12 can cook frozen pizzas, but you have to be careful with the temperature setting. Follow the regular oven (not fan oven) cooking instructions on your pizza package. If the temperature listed on your package isn’t shown on the Ooni Volt 12, use the nearest available setting. Do not exceed 175°C / 350°F on the stone or the stone may crack, this is due to the shock of the cold temperatures on the hot stone.

We'd recommend giving homemade dough a try - it's good fun! You can find recipes here:

We also sell frozen dough balls in the UK and US. You can order these through the groceries section of our website:

You can also try frozen dough from a supermarket, just try to make sure it’s the kind that doesn’t have additives like sugar or oil, because those are going to brown your crusts faster than a dough that’s made of just flour, yeast, water and salt.
