Choose the right version
You decide whether you want to replace only a single section of the baking floor or convert the entire baking floor of the Ooni Karu 16 to Biscotto di Sorrento®.
| Version | Shape and size | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Front stone only | rectangular, approx. 42 × 42 × 2 cm | replacement of the front main baking surface |
| Rear stone only | adjusted on the sides, approx. 42 × 20 × 2 cm | Replacement of the rear section |
| Complete set | front + rear stone, together approx. 42 × 62 × 2 cm | Complete conversion of the baking floor |
Our recommendation
For the most uniform possible heat transfer across the entire baking surface, we recommend the complete two-piece set. The individual stones are ideal if only the front or rear area needs to be replaced or specifically upgraded.
Why Biscotto di Sorrento® in the Ooni Karu 16?
The Ooni Karu 16 reaches very high temperatures with wood, charcoal or the optional gas burner. This is exactly where the Biscotto di Sorrento® comes into its own: its open-pored structure transfers the intense bottom heat to the dough more gently and in a more controlled way than a very dense baking stone.
Less quickly burnt baseAt high baking temperatures, the heat is released in a more controlled way. This can reduce the risk of black or bitter burnt spots on the pizza base.
Ideal for Pizza NapoletanaThe stone supports short baking times, an airy cornicione and a tender, evenly baked base.
moisture absorptionThe natural porosity absorbs some of the moisture from the dough and promotes a well-balanced structure on the underside.
Tailored to the baking surfaceFront and rear stones together form a generous Biscotto surface without unnecessarily changing the way you operate the Ooni Karu 16.
Why this conversion matters
A powerful oven alone does not guarantee a perfect pizza base. What matters is how the stored heat is transferred to the dough. Biscotto di Sorrento® helps you make better use of the strong performance of the Ooni Karu 16 for Neapolitan pizza – with intense top heat, controlled bottom heat and more leeway when baking.
Origin – the Sorrento Peninsula
Why origin matters
“Biscotto” is not automatically the same as “Biscotto”. What matters are origin, raw material blend, porosity, drying and firing. The mineral-rich clays of the Sorrento Peninsula give our stone its characteristic structure and its special behavior at very high temperatures.
Stones offered on the market under names such as Saputo or Casapulla may – depending on the manufacturer and the recipe – contain sand or pozzolanic mineral components. Such formulations therefore cannot generally be equated with our original Biscotto di Sorrento®. According to the manufacturer, our product is made at Fornace Aversa from the traditional Sorrento clay blend; sand is not added as a low-cost filler to reduce the clay content.
Important for comparison Do not compare only dimensions and colour. Ask about the actual manufacturer, origin and composition. Only then can you tell whether it is a genuine Biscotto di Sorrento® or merely a similarly named pizza stone.
Traditional production
At Fornace Aversa, the knowledge of processing refractory clays has been preserved for generations. After shaping, the stones are slowly dried and fired. This creates the characteristic open-pored surface that distinguishes the Biscotto di Sorrento® from industrially manufactured, very dense pizza stones.

Important note on handmade production
Slight tolerances in dimensions and weight, color variations, pores, small indentations, a rough underside, superficial hairline cracks as well as minor irregularities on edges and transitions are typical characteristics of artisanal production. As a rule, they do not constitute a quality defect and do not impair the function of the stone.

FAQs
Product & Usage
1. Which accessories are truly essential for perfect pizza in a gas or wood-fired oven?
Essential accessories include a high-quality pizza peel, a thermometer for precise temperature control, a pizza stone or rotating plate for even baking, and a brush for cleaning the baking surface. These tools make handling the oven easier and ensure optimal baking results.
2. Are the accessories compatible with my pizza oven (Ooni, Gozney, etc.)?
Most professional pizza oven accessories are compatible with different models, including both gas and wood-fired ovens. It’s important to check the dimensions of the oven and the baking surface to choose the right accessories.
3. Why should I choose professional accessories instead of cheaper alternatives?
Professional accessories are made from heat-resistant and durable materials, offer better performance and a longer service life. They improve baking quality, reduce errors, and ensure consistently perfect pizza results—both at home and in professional use.
Maintenance & Accessories
1. What maintenance do the tools require?
To keep your pizza oven tools in perfect condition, they should be cleaned after every use. Residual flour, dough, and ash can easily be removed with a brush or a slightly damp cloth once everything has cooled down. Metal tools such as peels, turners, or brushes should occasionally be treated with food-safe oil to prevent rust. Wooden handles must not be soaked or cleaned in the dishwasher. Regularly checking for wear ensures safety and a long service life.
2. Can spare parts or accessories be purchased separately?
Yes, many spare parts and accessories for pizza ovens can be purchased separately. These include, for example, replacement handles, brush heads, thermometers, or pizza stones. When buying, make sure the parts are compatible with your oven model and have the correct dimensions. This way, you can individually expand your setup or replace worn components.
3. Do you provide operating or user manuals?
Yes, for most accessories we provide user manuals or usage instructions. These are available digitally (PDF) or directly on the product page. The manuals help you use the tools correctly, handle them safely, and extend their service life.
Warranty & Guarantee
1. What is the difference between a guarantee and a warranty?
The statutory warranty period is 24 months from the date of purchase. It covers defects that already existed at the time of purchase.
The guarantee is a voluntary service provided by the manufacturer and may vary in duration and scope.
2. How long is the warranty period for the products?
All products come with the statutory 24-month warranty. During the first 12 months, it is presumed that any defect already existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.
3. What does the warranty cover?
Depending on the manufacturer, the warranty covers material and workmanship defects. Damage caused by improper use, normal wear and tear, or incorrect care is generally excluded. The exact terms are described in the respective warranty documents.
4. How can I report a warranty or guarantee claim?
