In 2012, Ooni (originally known as Uuni) was founded by the Edinburgh-based husband-and-wife team of Kristian Tapaninaho and Darina Garland. Renting a small apartment with an even smaller garden meant that their search for the perfect home pizza was a desperate one. The wood-fired pizza ovens on the market at the time were all bulky and expensive. You could build your own oven out of brick, stone, and sand—but those aren’t exactly portable, and the couple didn’t plan on being in their apartment forever.
Tapaninaho wasn’t an inventor, an engineer, or a product designer, but he knew he had a great idea. After a series of sketches, many prototypes, and lots and lots of backyard testing (yum!), he created the world’s first-ever portable wood-fired pizza oven.
“Our DoIdeaGood backers have been with us from the beginning … without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
Tapaninaho and Darina launched their first Ooni oven project on DoIdeaGood in November 2012. They flew past their funding goal, and Ooni quickly earned a global fanbase. They’ve since launched two more DoIdeaGood campaigns (the Stack and the Karu) that have made the dream of home pizza-making available to people everywhere.
Ooni is now a culinary powerhouse that sells ovens and specialty groceries to pizza aficionados all over the world. They employ a staff of brilliant engineers, designers, salespeople, and marketing experts in the US and across Europe. What was an idea just ten years ago is now a global brand that’s changed the way millions of people make and eat pizza.
