If you have been reading this blog since 2012, you would know about how crazy I was over pizza at the time. Not just crazy about finding the most authentic wood fired Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN) pizza, but also in making my own Napoletana style pizza at home. After many months of experimentation, I finally published my pizza recipe using a conventional oven with a built in pizza base. It was the best that I could do short of building my own wood fired pizza oven in the backyard, which my wife would never allow. (Yes, I have asked before…… in a convoluted sort of way)
That was were we left the story in 2012.
Fast forward four years and Jimmy, bless him, decided to become the distributor of this nifty little wood fired pizza oven called UUNI. This incredibly small (it’s the size of a large briefcase) and portable oven uses wood pellets to create a wood fire within a lightweight stainless steel casing. It started off as a kickstarter project and has since evolved to the UUNI 2 and now to the UUNI 2S which makes its worldwide début today!

I must confess that I was a little sceptical when I had my first go at the oven shortly after unpacking it. Our pizzas were getting burnt left, right and centre. You know what went wrong? Yep, you guessed it, no one bothered to read the instructions on how to actually use the darn thing! Ladies, you are probably familiar with this character flaw with us guys! Remember the days before Google Maps when we got lost and refused to ask for directions?
In the meantime, if you are interested in the oven, please contact Jimmy at 98329340. The introductory price for the UUNI 2S in Singapore is S$550 with 3kg of Hickory wood pellets thrown in. Additional pellets are available from UUNI Singapore at $38 for a 9kg pkt. Typically we would use 1.5kg of pellets to make 10 pizzas which works out to be $6.30 per session. Here’s the UUNI Singapore Facebook page.
