Lucali Style Pizza At Home. Inspired by Marc Iacono, Kitchen & Craft on Ooni Koda 16 Pizza Oven

Published 2022-09-29
Dough Recipe
For 2 pizza on Ooni Koda 16
400g flour
232ml water
2g yeast
10g salt
7g Extra Virgin Olive Oil


This was my first attempt of making Lucali style pizza at home using my Ooni Koda 16. My pizza quest began from watching Marc Iacono’s pizza videos on YouTube. That’s where it all started. I posted a video in the past on attempting to make a Lucali style at home using the home oven but realized, it’s no way possible to come close to Marc’s pizza from the home oven and that eventually led me in buying Ooni Koda 16 pizza oven.

I watched the video from Kitchen & Craft over and over for the recipe and tweaks in making this pizza. I mean what a wonderful world that we live in. Thank you YouTube.

If you want to take the home pizzas to a whole new another level, then watch these videos that I just mentioned. Pizza is simple, deep and it’s a science. We’ll enough of the yapping. Hope to make more pizza videos and thank you guys for tuning in.

  • Solid! Ate there last week and this looks dead on. Sauce is right. Hydration, cheeses, you nailed it!
  • Nice job. This is the best recreation I've seen. You should make another video attempting this with the ooni's "ultra low" setting as another user described. Santa Barbara Baker has a good video on how to do this. Keep it up!
  • @ciaobela8
    You are tooo cute! Fun video and Great pizza! Loved the typed commentary- Clever! your sense of humor is a delight ;) I am definitely going to do this!
  • @aspjake123
    Nice!!!!! Well done! Loving my Ooni 16 and getting used to the incredible heat this UFO looking oven puts out!!
  • @jamesgibson3242
    Excellent job. It looks just like Lucali. I am going to try to make Lucali pizza. I just liked and subscribed.
  • I recommend you set the knob of the Koda 16 at 11 o'clock position. This secret ultra low flame setting will allow you to bake NY style pizzas (stone temperature not more than 400 degrees, ultra low flames, 4 minute bake).
  • @YumiFaeldo
    You can turn down the flame lower….after turning it on it locks on the full setting right? Preheat, go back to the right for a flame lower than low setting. This avoids burning the dough.

    Been wanting one of those ovens . Looks great btw very much like Lucali aside from the sauce . All sauces are cooked too people, that San Marzano style can you open up was cooked🔥🤨
  • Very good, I recommend not using the basil stems, they are a bit annoying when eating the pizza and also a bit bitter
  • Wow. this is the best Lucali recreation I've seen as well. Is Tony Gemignani 00 Flour the only flour you used?
  • @professorm3136
    How did you get the edges puffed up like that? My only had 1 or 2 puffed up spots
  • Looks amazing! I followed your recipe but how did you get the crust to look like Lucali's with a crispy shell? Mine puffed up and bubbled.
  • @rlewis2009
    what does the grated parm on the peel do after its cooked?

    I want to learn his meatballs, too. Those perfectly blended tomatoes into tiny blocks, not just paste. I messed up my first one. Practice makes perfect !
