Halo Versa 16 Pizza Oven Review

hey everybody welcome back to Big Daddy's Barbecue Pit for this video we're going to do something a little bit different over the holidays uh Michelle had gotten a new pizza oven uh for Christmas and we've cooked on it several times we want to kind of give you a little walk through of it and see what it's all about and then at the end we're going to go ahead and throw Pizza on it and cook up a pie for you uh this pizza oven is actually built by a company out of Kentucky named Halo and what's what's great about it is it's it'll hold up to a 16in pizza but it has a really nice Sleek design it comes with a port where you can plug in a 20 lb uh typical propane uh canister that you would have in your backyard for a gas grill but it also holds a one PB now what's nice about this unit is this lid actually lifts completely up so you can get in there and clean this out again has a uh I believe it's a/ inch uh quarter dite Stone here that actually lifts out so you can clean it up real easy and it has the turntable what's great about this is it has a flame in the back for the heat along with the infrared heater on the bottom which is actually heating the bottom of that stone so you don't run into the problems that you have where your where the bottom of the pizza crust isn't completely cooked uh it's it doesn't leave it doughy the good thing also too is this tray right here you can see we got some bits of stuff in there cuz we have been using it this tray right here actually lifts out you dump it off you know if you have cornmeal or excess flour or something on it cleans up super super easy uh the other good part about it is is yes it comes with the your your typical plugin adapter that you can plug into to an outlet but if you're traveling with this thing it will also run this turntable off of two d-size batteries which is is great for the things we're doing with it not only will we be taking this unit probably out camping with us but we'll Michelle does uh Pizza Cookoff Association uh Pizza competitions we'll be using it for that and then we use it at home use when I was a kid you know we used to make pizza every Friday night being the youngest of eight buying Pizza out wasn't always an option so it was kind of a family tradition to to make your own pizza and it's something that we enjoy doing now as a family uh this is an outdoor unit it will cook a pizza in about 5 to 7 minutes from what we found out maybe a little bit longer today it's roughly 20° out so it's a little chilly it is pretty well insulated but again the front's open so you do lose a lot of heat on it but it will get up to 950° we'll do a little reading on it here once we get it moving and get it fired up to show you where we're running at but typically it it'll it'll stay you know right around 8 to 900 Degrees pretty regularly again totally portable it's going to be something that you know she could if she wanted to move on her own uh not very heavy really easy to assemble the packaging this thing came in was immaculate it wasn't damaged uh everything was in perfect shape when it arrived the price point on this thing is about 399 which is astonishing for what you're getting uh and the quality of the build very nice unit uh it has the electric start that you typically have on on on any you know outdoor Appliance it also has the button which actually turns on the rotisserie or the rotating uh pizza stone and then of course your gas knob so what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and we're going to go inside we're going to get this thing fired up here in a couple minutes and we'll leave it run and get nice and warm we'll go inside Michelle's going to put together a pizza for us we can we're going to be able to put on here once it gets up to temperature we're going to come back outside and we'll actually show you where we're reading on this thing but you got to keep in mind it's it's it's cold today and it's windy so but we'll take a look here we'll be back here in a few minutes okay so Michelle's going to stretch us out a mediumsized uh pie here uh just something we can show you real quick how nice this thing Cooks uh Pizza up and how how quickly it does uh you're going to get a nice even cook on this using this uh Halo 16 Versa uh and you could do up to a 16in pie we're not going to go that big today this is probably going to end up being around 14 in so it'd be more of along the line of a medium uh just a little sauce some cheese we'll cook it up and and show you guys what the finished product looks [Music] like you can tell this dough is super soft she's just pushing from the center out it'll be fairly thin when she's done but it's a it's a a very simple uh delicious dough recipe we use it's actually a 72h hour process if you guys are interested in seeing a a pizza video comment down below tell us what you want to see we'd be happy to show you the process of from dough to Sauce everything we [Music] use stretching a little bit by hands throw it on our pizza peel here and again this is what great about making pizza at home it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect make it the way you want it put the ingredients on it that you enjoy and it's something you can do with your whole family you're going to probably add about half a cup or so of sauce to this today we're just using a basic canned sauce by Urban slicer [Music] get that all the way to the edges we're going to put some uh sliced mozzarella cheese on top maybe a little parmesan some Italian seasoning this thing is going to be good to go what's your favorite pizza toppings put it below in the comments let us know what you [Music] like if you haven't already make sure you hit that like And subscribe button we'd really appreciate it add a little parmesan on the bottom now she's going to add some uh freshly sliced mozzarella we we've been using uh mozzarella cheese that has been sliced more often on our pizzas it just seems to give it a nice even distribution of the cheese and it's not overly heavy makes for awesome Pizza we're going to go out back now we're going to put this on the on the Halo okay so right now you can if you can see it here on my thermometer we're running right around 700° now keep in mind it's 30° outside with the windshields about 20 so this thing's doing a good job of keeping up uh in the in the in the uh conditions we're in right now so Michelle's going to go ahead and what I'm only thing I'm going to do is I'm going to stop the turntable she's going to come in and shoot that pie onto the stone and we're going to turn it back on and let it cook okay so we're back on the stone she turned it back on and we're going to let this [Music] spin [Music] so again folks this this can be operated through extension cord you can plug it in like an any order ordinary Appliance can use two dcel batteries to turn that turntable you got your 20 lb propane tank you can hook up or your one PB if you're out and about you're camping something like that uh very versatile easy to use as you seen it's holding its temperature nice even on a cold day pretty easy operation you're not spinning the pizza constantly you know we're going to show you here in a couple minutes what a good pizza looks like coming out of this oven yep smoking hot how cold it is oh [Music] yeah okay so our pizza's done you hear how nice and crunchy that is Michelle's going to cut this thing up smells [Music] amazing nice little mediumsized pizza okay I'm going to grab a small piece make sure see how good she cut it here so you can see the airiness in that dough man it looks good nice and crunchy want to see the underc [Music] carriage [Music] that dough is so light just the right amount of cheese it's not over not overly soft great flavor I'm telling you that Halo 16 Versa is the ticket check out that pizza oven make sure you hit like And subscribe get you some of [Music] that [Music]
