Updated on Feb. 17, 2025
If you have an outdoor pizza oven, you know just how fun it is to get creative with toppings and cook your own restaurant-quality pies. And while finding the best pizza oven for the job is crucial, there are also a few essential accessories to go along with it.
As a pizza oven expert, I’ve spent years testing pizza ovens across a variety of brands and models. Along the way, I’ve found Ooni ovens top the list of best pizza ovens including the user-friendly Ooni Koda 16 and electric Ooni Volt. Some accessories could even be used with the Ooni pizza steel to make piping hot pies in your indoor home oven.
Years of testing and making hundreds of homemade pizzas have given me insight into which accessories are worth the purchase. From pizza peels and cast-iron cookware to oven-cleaning brushes, these are the best Ooni accessories for your pizza oven set-up.

Digital Infrared Thermometer
It’s crucial to turn on your pizza oven and allow it to preheat to the proper temperature for cooking. If the temperature isn’t hot enough, the base of the dough won’t cook properly on the pizza stone, and the surrounding heat won’t be hot enough to cook your toppings. You’ll need an infrared thermometer to ensure you’ve reached the correct temp before launching a pie. Even better? Ooni’s thermometer is specifically calibrated for use with the brand’s cordierite pizza stones.
Simply point the laser into your pizza oven to check its precise temperature. The handle is easy to hold, and the thermometer has a large digital screen for easy reading. You can toggle back and forth between Fahrenheit and Celsius, depending on your preference.
Temperature range: -22 to 999 F | Power source: x2 AAA batteries (included) | Display: LCD screen
Pizza Oven Brush
Keep your oven clean with this two-in-one pizza oven brush for perfect pizzas every time. When making a pizza, flour is required to prevent the dough from being too sticky and to help the dough release from the peel as a pizza is fired into the oven. Inevitably, small amounts transfer to the stone and can gather on the surface.
This wood-handled brush made of bamboo and stainless steel is easy to hold and is long enough to reach the back of your pizza oven while still giving your hand enough room away from the heat. It has a handy steel scraper at the end, which can help remove cooked-on cheese or other toppings, along with bristles to brush away flour.
Length: 23.6 inches | Material: Bamboo handle, stainless steel bristles and scraper | Weight: 12.7 ounces
Dual-Sided Grizzler Plate
Ooni pizza ovens reach very high temperatures, making them ideal for a variety of dishes. Test out your pizza oven’s versatility with this cast-iron Grizzler plate. The plate has a flat, smooth side and a textured side to add perfect grill marks to everything from steaks and chicken to veggies. It comes with two quick-detach handles for ease of use. This allows you to put the pan in the oven and easily remove the handles while food is cooking.
The Grizzler plate also comes with a stainless steel trivet to bring hot dishes straight from the pizza oven to the table for dinner.
Material: Cast iron and stainless steel | Weight: 12.7 pounds | Compatibility: All Ooni pizza ovens
Modular Pizza Table
An Ooni can sit on any heat-safe surface including stainless steel, wood or stone. However, this pizza oven table, which comes in two different sizes, takes the guesswork out of which surface to use. Build out your outdoor kitchen with this piece constructed from powder-coated steel, making it weather-safe for all environments.
The top is sleek stainless steel, with interior shelves to store other accessories. The table also has built-in hooks to hang pizza peels and a pizza turner for quick, easy access. With its locked wheels, you can keep it stationary or move it around on your deck for the perfect pizza cooking spot.
Materials: Powder-coated steel and stainless steel | Weight capacity: 110 pounds | Compatibility: 12- and 16-inch Ooni ovens
Pizza Turning Peel
Pizza ovens get incredibly hot, and that’s all thanks to a live flame. Because of the construction of Ooni pizza ovens, whether there’s an L-shaped flame in the Ooni Koda or the gas burner flame in the back of the Ooni Karu 12g, it’s essential to consistently turn your pizza so you’ll have evenly cooked toppings, melted cheese and even browning on the crust.
This turning peel is constructed from aluminum with a long heat-resistant nylon handle. That long handle makes turning pizzas in the oven simpler while staying back from the heat. Slide it under your pizza easily and finish cooking it to perfection.
Materials: Anodized aluminum | Weight: 1 pound | Handle length: 32 inches
Perforated Pizza Peel
Pizza peels are an essential tool for making pizza at home. They provide a base for building and launching your pizza into the oven. But the worst thing that can happen is having wet dough stuck on your peel, ruining the shape of your pizza and losing all your toppings along the way.
Flour or semolina will help keep your dough from sticking, and this perforated pizza peel makes it even easier to launch. It’s made from aluminum with a heat-safe handle and small perforated holes. That way, excess flour will slide off as you launch the pizza, reducing the char on the base of your pie.
Materials: Heat resistant glass handle with anodized aluminum blade | Size: 12 or 14 inches | Cleaning: Hand wash only (not dishwasher safe)
Stack Prep Bowls
Whether you have an Ooni Koda 12 or the indoor-outdoor Ooni Volt, making homemade pizza dough and getting your favorite toppings together requires some prep work. Thankfully, these stack bowls make it that much simpler. The set comes with three durable glass bowls, which fit together snugly once stacked. There is also one bamboo lid included with an airtight seal to close the top bowl.
Proof and store individual dough balls in these bowls to keep them from sticking, or use them to prep ingredients. The bowls are stackable and dishwasher safe making them great additions to any kitchen. Just be sure to hand wash the lid for the best care!
Materials: borosilicate glass and sustainable bamboo | Volume: 970 ml per bowl | Dishwasher safe: Yes
Pizza Oven Gloves
Ooni pizza ovens can reach temperatures over 900 degrees. If you’re using one of the brand’s wood-fired pizza ovens in the Karu line-up, adding more wood to keep the flame going is an important step. Made with leather on the exterior and aluminum insulation, these gloves are heavy-duty without being too bulky to keep your hands protected yet comfortable.
Wear them while adding more fuel to the fire to stay safe during cooking. These would also be handy if you use the KettlePizza attachment for a charcoal grill or burn wood to cook in a Solo Stove pizza oven.
Materials: Leather, flannelette, canvas and aluminum | Size: One size (14 inches long) | Heat protection: Up to 950 °F
Pizza Cutter Wheel
Even if you reheat pizza, a piping hot pie will have gooey, melty cheese that’s not easy to slice. Make the cutting process that much simpler with this pizza cutter wheel. The nylon handle is easy to hold and comfortable to grip, and the stainless steel blade is incredibly sharp to slice through the crust with ease. Use this pizza cutter for any homemade pizzas, whether cooked in an Ooni outside or in an indoor pizza oven.
Materials: Glass reinforced nylon handle with stainless steel blade | Dishwasher safe: Yes
Cast-Iron Skillet
Pizza ovens aren’t just for cooking delicious pizzas! The high temperatures can help you sear steaks, cook saucy meatballs, sizzle veggies and even bake desserts such as skillet cookies or fruit crisps. That’s why this cast-iron skillet pan earned a top spot on our list of must-have Ooni accessories.
Built to go inside Ooni pizza ovens, its cast iron construction provides excellent heat retention. The skillet pan has a removable handle, so you can slide it into the oven and cook food evenly. Once it’s time to retrieve your dinner (or dessert!), put the handle back on to pull it out.
Materials: Cast iron and stainless steel | Weight 6.4 pounds | Cleaning: Hand wash
Pizza Rocker
Have you ever watched pizza be cut at a restaurant and wished you had the tool to do it that quickly too? This pizza rocker makes that possible. At 14 inches long with an exceptionally sharp blade, this rocker can easily slice through 12-inch or 13-inch pizzas in a matter of seconds. The reinforced nylon handle makes it comfortable to grip and hold, paired with the power of durable stainless steel on the blade. Cut your pizza in half, make two more cuts across and you’ll be well on your way to grabbing a fresh slice!
Materials: Glass-reinforced nylon handle with stainless steel blade | Length: 14.9 inches | Dishwasher safe: Yes
Detroit Pizza Pan
Ooni pizza ovens are excellent for making Neapolitan or New York-style pizzas. But did you know you can make Detroit-style in your oven as well? Try something new with this Detroit-style pizza pan. The pan comes in two sizes so you can choose the best fit. The small pan will fit all Ooni ovens, while the medium offers a bigger pizza in most Ooni 12 and Ooni 16-sized models. The pan’s interior is nonstick so your pizzas covered in crispy cheese won’t stick. Plus, if it’s raining and you don’t feel like heading outside to cook your pizza, you can use this pizza pan inside your home oven as well.
Materials: Stainless steel lid with non-stick finish container | Sizes: Small or medium | Dishwasher safe: No
Pizza Topping Station
Topping our list (pun intended) of some of the best Ooni pizza oven accessories, this topping station makes it easy to prep for pizza night. It’s great whether you make homemade pies with the family or invite friends for a pizza party. The station has a stainless steel base that sits in a powder-coated frame, making the whole unit weather-resistant and non-slip.
It has two large and four smaller stainless steel, food-safe containers to hold individual toppings for easy access while making pizza. Even better? They’re stackable and have snug-fitting clear lids to prep toppings ahead of time and store in the fridge until it’s pizza night!
Materials: Powder coated carbon steel, stainless steel, plastic and silicone | Capacity: Two 1.6-liter containers and four 0.8-liter containers | Cleaning: Hand wash only
Bamboo Peel and Serving Board
Love the look of bamboo instead of metal? This bamboo pizza peel and serving board is the perfect fit. But it’s not just for looks. This durable board is helpful for a variety of uses. Use the bamboo pizza peel to launch pizzas from the prep table to the oven. It’s moisture-resistant, which helps make launching simpler without having to deal with stuck-on dough. Once your pizza is cooked and retrieved, serve the pie on this beautiful backdrop. It’s even durable enough to be able to slice and serve off of.
Materials: Bamboo | Size options: 12, 14 or 16 inches | Cleaning: Hand wash only
Ooni Apron
Prepping just about anything in the kitchen can get messy. But pizza? Even messier, especially when working with plenty of flour to stretch your dough and sauce to add the perfect base before toppings. Protect your clothes with this helpful Ooni apron. While this apron is made from heavy-duty canvas, it’s anything but stiff. It’s durable, but you can still certainly move around in it with ease. Plus, there are three pockets on it, a towel holder and built-in adjustable straps to make it easier to find the perfect fit for you.
Materials: Heavy-duty canvas with leather accents | Pockets: Three |
