I don’t have an Ooni, mine is a big old clay one. I don’t use a thermometer, all of the soot falls away from the walls when mine is ready to cook. But I suspect my temperature is lower than 400 degrees as it takes about 1.5-2 minutes to cook the pizza. I turn it every 20 seconds or so and then move it towards the mouth of the oven if the cheese isn’t quite melted enough, which doesn’t usually happen but the cheese I used yesterday had been in the freezer all winter so that might explain its reluctance to melt easily.
