Homemade pizzas are severely underrated, and one of the main reasons they aren't more popular is the perception that pizza ovens are both expensive and intimidating. Many people shy away from the idea, thinking they need to invest in a bulky, costly oven and master complex techniques to achieve that perfect, crispy crust. This is where the Ooni Karu 12 outdoor pizza oven shines, available at a 20% discount this Prime Day, retailing for just $240.

This extremely portable oven comes in a stylish design and with a medium-sized cooking surface that can be great for your 12-inch pizzas. Setting up the whole thing is fairly straightforward, and once out of the box, the oven will take anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes to reach the ideal cooking temperature.

You can use it with both wood and charcoal, unlike what most ovens in the same range offer. If none of these work for you and you prefer a more modern approach, the Ooni Karu 12 is also compatible with a gas burner, sold separately. Regardless of the method, your pizza will be ready in about a minute -- literally.
