When it comes to gifts and things to do for Father’s Day, the best type of present is one that involves time with his children—especially after a year like 2020. So this Father’s Day, do visit your dad but think beyond the standard BBQ itinerary. Sure, burgers are great, but why not spend the holiday making pizza together on a new portable pizza oven? It’s an experiential gift which, after the day is over, will leave him with everything he needs to make the perfect pie at home.
When shopping for ovens, might we suggest one from Ooni? Their sleek and modern designs are both easy to use and aesthetically pleasing and will make for an attractive addition to his collection of cooking gear, barbecues, and gadgets. It’s really the ideal gift for dads who like to cook, eat, and entertain outside, and yes, it’s actually portable. He can make his very own wood-fired pizzas in the backyard and beyond—think tailgates, the beach, at his friends’.
A few summers ago, my family surprised our dad with his own portable pizza oven for Father’s Day. Before the weekend, we stocked the fridge with dough, fresh mozzarella, a few bottles of his favorite red wines, and a selection of gourmet ingredients and pie toppings. Unsurprisingly, it was a big hit. So this year, we’re taking things an extra step further and equipping him a few more pizza-making accoutrements like a handsome chef’s apron, a cookbook with endless inspiration of pizza creation, a chic travel cutting board set for on-the-go pizza-making, and even a hydroponic grow kit for a hint of fresh basil.
Below, find a slice of inspiration for the celebration and the items needed to plan your own successful pizza-making surprise. Out of all of the things to do for father’s day, this one will certainly be the most delicious. Bon appetit!
