What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the official Ooni baking stones for their perfect fit and superior heat performance in the Karu 16 and Karu 2 Pro ovens.

Know before you buy
No, these specific baking stones are custom-sized for the Ooni Karu 16 and Karu 2 Pro only. They will not fit correctly in smaller Ooni models like the Karu 12 or Fyra.
The two-piece design is engineered to fit the specific dimensions of the Karu 16 and Karu 2 Pro cooking surface. Using two stones makes them easier to handle, clean, and replace if one were to crack over time.
Cordierite is the industry standard for high-performance pizza ovens because it is highly resistant to thermal shock. It excels at absorbing moisture from the dough while retaining intense heat, which is essential for achieving a crisp, professional-style crust.
No, these cordierite stones do not require seasoning. Simply wipe them down with a dry cloth to remove any dust from packaging, place them in your oven, and follow the standard preheating instructions for your Ooni model.
The best way to clean them is to let the oven burn off any residue at high heat. Once the stone has completely cooled, you can scrape off any remaining debris with a wire brush; avoid using water or soap, as the stone is porous and will absorb moisture.
Yes, the 0.6-inch thickness provides excellent thermal mass. This allows the stones to hold heat effectively and recover to optimal baking temperatures quickly, ensuring your second or third pizza is just as crisp as the first.
