Gutted i didn't know about this till now. When i'm back visiting family i'll head in
You've got Family in Southport?
Good on you to turn the hobby into a business. This has always been a pipe dream of mine and looked into the various alternatives to Neapolitan but never had the guts to take it any further.
Would have ordered if was local to me!
Your Crave ovens are obviously different and more commercial to the ones discussed here but did see a couple of local chaps run 2 x Roccbox for events and in their premises run a row of them in their pop up shop.

Yeah. When we've finished our house the plan is to have a decent outdoor kitchen with a decent outdoor oven and i think the Dome will be awesome (unless i try and build my own), but it's likely 12-15 months till it's built so an Ooni works till then. On that basis i've just bought the Fyra at €245. I reckon even after 12 months i could recover a decent chunk of the spend.
Do have some slight doubts as to whether i should've added the cover though.
I've got my general pizza game to a decent point. The thing that really amplified it was actually a stand mixer from Lidl. Just mixes the dough so much better than i used to do by hand and gives a brilliant taste.

Do you work on there I'll pop in for a slice. Any OCUK discount?
I'm there quite often, There now. But I dont actively work there. Although I'm the general dogs body fixing things the staff break on a regular basis.
OCUK discount 2 slices for £5 or a slice and a Beer £5
Or any 14" Pizza and 2 Buds for £15
Thinking of doing a all you can eat challenge
£20 and 2 hours. How many slices can you eat, With a leaderboard etc....
I'll definitely come and grab a slice. I'll ask for Matt if I remember. Think we're in Southport on the 2nd December.

Just ordered the Volt. £639 from John Lewis but through work I can buy John Lewis gift cards with discount so it worked out at £611. I do have an outdoor Pizza oven I built but the Volt will be much easier in the winter and for smaller cooks.

maybe mattyg will say what ovens he has in Crave
had you looked at other electrics effeuno entry model N3 is ~£650 https://youtu.be/bv3qZxB0pc0?t=235 50minute warm up at 2.1Kw rating - still a lot of spondoolies though.
haven't done pizza for a month now - sourdough starter I would use has produced poorer bread loaves, which I think maybe ambient room temp for overnight poolish is not really high enough.

Not sure Detroit needs such high heat at Crave? It's more the Neapolitan style? Intrigued to know as couple of YouTube videos showed similar places using electric ones in the UK. Places like Fireaway use custom gas one's from Italy.
Back to the home user I had seen effeuno models in my research but was coming in close to a grand and wasn't sure on it being better than say the Koda or Karu. It's convenience is can be used all year around.
Ideally want to do mixture of Pizza styles with the investment and perhaps Tandoori style meats, fish, naans and roasted veg and food that's likes high heat.
Looked at the Effeuno again today. It's a big investment and would need to find place in the kitchen or the garage and set-up a station to do the cooking next to it. It would be the same situation with the Volt or Breville option.
Part of me thinks work with the home oven and try my hand at Sicilian or Detroit style with some decent pans and a baking steel and do Neapolitan with par baking the base then do toppings.
Having the Roccbox outside or Ooni would be relegated to decent weather or get togethers.
Nice one man.Pizza you say
I went from an Ooni Karu 16
to this
Crave Pizza | New York, Detroit & Chicago Style Pizza in Southport
We offer 18-inch New York style pizzas by the slice, in a variety of flavours. We also offer Detroit style and Chicago style deep pan pizzas.www.crave-pizza.co.uk
+ using good tomatoes
shame I live so far away as I'd love to sample some of the menu
Caved in and went with the Gozney Roccbox with the 20% off at the moment. If up my game in the future a Dome could always make an appearance in the garden.
Will use the indoor oven to do Sicilian or Detroit and invest in some decent pans to vary up the styles and learn the longer ferment techniques.
Anyone with a Roccbox recommend a pan to use for fish and chicken? Something like this lodge pan?

Caputo blue from Adimaria. Big bags are cheap.
I will grab this thank you. Whilst ordering what is decent from Caputo to do say NY / Sicilian / Detroit style? I assume with it being done slower and longer the red might be better?
