He just wanted to make great pizza. But the home ovens? Nope. Not hot enough. Not fast enough. And definitely not fun enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what did he do? He turned up the heat\u2014literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With help from his wife and future co-CEO, Darina Garland, Kristian took the first steps toward what would soon become Ooni, the backyard pizza oven that rocked the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Kristian and Darina fired up their idea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The duo started small. Like, really small. They got a local metal welder\u2014yes, the kind who usually makes gates to build a scrappy prototype. In 2012, they threw it up on <a href=\"https:\/\/thestudententrepreneur.org\/?p=10193\">Kickstarter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They hoped to raise \u00a37,500. They got over \u00a317,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big win? Yep. But then came the real work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Darina\u2019s \u201caha!\u201d moment changed everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Darina and Kristian were running an education <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/starting-a-business\/ooni-pizza-oven-from-backyard-side-hustle-to-200-million\/488828\">business <\/a>at the time. Ooni was just a side hustle. But the moment they woke up to orders that came in while they were sleeping?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Game-changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darina said it best: \u201cWe made money while we slept. What have we been doing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From then on, they went all in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risky moves and shipping chaos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After Kickstarter, they scrambled to find a factory. The UK didn\u2019t work out, so they tried Finland. It worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the road wasn&#8217;t smooth. They juggled baby duties, education gigs, and business calls. It was messy, wild, and full of risk. But they kept going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, just when COVID hit and orders were being canceled left and right, something unexpected happened. Online sales exploded. UK first. Then the U.S. followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly, Ooni was cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ooni becomes the hottest name in pizza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>They went from \u00a314 million in 2019 to \u00a3157 million today. And here&#8217;s the cool part? No private equity. Just smart moves and big dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As demand soared, so did their team. They brought in talent from Breville, Dyson, and even YETI. That growth? It wasn\u2019t luck. It was strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kristian puts it this way: \u201cIdeas are great, but without the right people, it doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kristian and Darina mix it up\u2014literally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, Ooni dropped a new product: the Ooni Halo Pro Spiral Mixer. It\u2019s made for pizza lovers, but feels like bakery-level tech. No more clunky machines. Just sleek design and smooth dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yes, it works like magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But they&#8217;re not just innovating, they\u2019re making Pro Tools more affordable. That\u2019s the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Darina\u2019s advice? Protect your passion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting a product-based business isn\u2019t all toppings and sunshine. There\u2019s IP to protect, feedback to collect, and markets to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kristian says: \u201cFigure out what makes your idea unique. Then build around that.\u201d<br>Darina adds: \u201cDon\u2019t skip IP. It saved us more than once.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their biggest tip? Don\u2019t build just for the cash. Build because you love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final slice: why Ooni still matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>More than ten years later, Ooni isn\u2019t just a product. It\u2019s a pizza revolution. It\u2019s family time. Backyard vibes. That perfect crust on a Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kristian sums it up: \u201cWe believe people are happier when they make pizza at home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with Ooni, millions now can.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From
