At the end of February, I received this email from Ooni…
Hi there,
I’m getting in touch to give you an update on when you can expect to receive your new Ooni Pro 16 Oven order.
As you may be aware, there have been a number of issues impacting global shipping availability and logistics over the past few months. This unfortunately means that there has been a delay to the expected shipping date of your Ooni Pro 16 Oven.
We always do our best to give an accurate estimate for shipping at the time of placing your order and I am sorry that this has changed- I know how patiently you’ve been waiting.
Taking into account current shipping delays, we expect that orders like yours will begin shipping out to you in early May.
We will all be working hard to get your order out as quickly as possible, and we will send you tracking information as soon as your order has left our warehouse.
Thank you again for your order and your patience- we really appreciate it.
Take care,
The Ooni Team
It appears my pizza oven will be delayed a bit more. No! I’m not a bit surprised. I ordered the 16″ Ooni Pro Multi-Fuel pizza oven on December 3, 2o20. When I placed the order, all the ovens had delays. However, the oven I wanted to had the longest delay. At that time, they weren’t being shipped until mid-April. That’s a long wait, but I was fine with that. Over the past few years, I’ve done a lot of research on outdoor ovens, and after finally settling on buying a portable oven, the brand that impressed me the most was Ooni! It’s no exaggeration for me to say that I’ve easily watched over 50 videos on this oven, after deciding it was the right or for me.
So, what’s another month? I’ll wait. I do hope it’s not delayed anymore. However, I can understand that it’s not their fault. During the shutdown, I discovered some amazing content creators on YouTube, and my favorite pizza maker would have to be Vito Iacapelli. He owns a restaurant in Los Angeles, California. I’ve included one of his videos below.
