This oven cooks restaurant quality pizzas every time. But you have to be patient. You have to have a good dough recipe that is compatible with high heat. Then you have to have a good sauce. This takes time to perfect these two elements. Next and most important to be able to launch pizzas from the peel every time without sticking Parbake your pizza crusts. I do this in the kitchen oven at 450 for 3 minutes. Then freeze the pizza crusts I am not using. Finally, let the oven heat up to 800F but turn temp down to low before you launch the pizza. Every 20 seconds rotate it. The pizza will not cook in a minute and a half it takes mine about 3 minutes to 3 min 30 seconds. The secret is those parbaked pizza shells. It works every time with that pizza sliding right off the peel. This oven is really high quality.

Gets up to 800F in 10 to 15 minutes, however, it is difficult to keep it ignited. It takes nearly a minute for the thermocouple to get hot enough to keep the propane flowing. It is also HIGHLY sensitive to wind. A moderate breeze will blow it out. Windy out. No pizza. Finally, it's tricky to cook the pizza without burning the edges black. Need to keep turning it and keep it toward the front. I think that once I master it, I will make great pizzas. I am using the Ooni frozen pizza dough which also has a steep learning curve. Make sure you fully defrost the dough and then proof it for the required time. If you don't, it will spring back like a rubber band. If you do, it makes a great crust. I'd give it 5 stars if it were not for the learning curve.

First off, I have NEVER made a pizza oven pizza in my life. I am a very competent chef and grillmaster, but I had zero experience with one of these contraptions. I purchased this to do make your own pizzas for our Bengals tailgate and hopefully for fun family nights in the future. We followed the Ooni dough recipe (00 flour is NOT something sold at every grocery store) and it was fantastic. Of course I watched several videos before using the oven, which is advised, but this oven is very easy to use. Some basic knowledge gleaned from the Ooni website is enough to get you going. My tips for a perfect pizza are: Does not come with any gas or tank. I used a full 15lb gas grill propane tank. I assume you could use a smaller tank with the same full size fitting. Hose is long enough to reach the table and set the tank on the ground. No peel included. I purchased the aluminum one with a folding wood handle (Chef Pomodoro) and it was absolutely perfect for this oven in every single way. I did not buy or use a laser pointer thermometer but after seeing they are less than $20 I probably would have. I don't see it as necessary but it would have been nice to know how hot my stone was. The first time I tried to light the grill it was admittedly difficult. This is not an unusual problem for any gas grill regulator. I suggest you make sure the oven is off when you turn the propane tank on. Also, I wasn't getting good gas flow until I turned the regulator so the hose was vertical (hose sticking straight up or down). You may have to turn the regulator, turn off the gas at the tank, off at the oven, and repeat a few times to get good gas flow. No idea why (could be a cheap finicky regulator?), but once I got the gas flow going, I haven't had a problem since (three uses). Also, try turning the gas on for a few seconds, then to off, then hold the knob pushed in for a few seconds (at the off position) before turning it counter clockwise to the max position to trigger the ignitor, and continuing to hold it in. You should be looking through the little hole in the back of the oven where you can see if you have a good flame. This is the trickiest part of using the oven. Don't get frustrated. Preheat at max flame for 15-20 mins. There is no stop for max flame like there is for minimum flame, so the little indicator nub on the knob will be at 9-O'Clock. You should look into the mouth of the oven to confirm you have a good even flame rolling up to the top. Use a rolling pin to make flat even crust, it's not cheating is it? Makes for the best perfect crust. Less bubbles that will burn, flaky, crispy, superior to hand formed. Make it as thin as you think you can work with. (3/16"?) Don't make the edges thicker than the middle. Flatter the better. Preheat the oven on full blast for as long as possible. You CANNOT get it too hot. Don't try to make a pizza that is too big to fit in the oven. Isn't this just common sense? The smaller the pizza the easier it is to maneuver. After getting the oven as hot as possible (at least 15-20 minutes), turn the flame down as low as you can but still see a decent flame (not minimum flame) The dial isn't very linear, so you really just have to look in the opening and see the flame. It is admittedly difficult to adjust the flame and see the result at the same time (if not impossible). You will get a feel for the gas knob after a couple pizzas. If you keep the flame at max, or turn the dial down thinking you have decreased the flame without actually looking at the flame, you WILL burn your pizza, and fast. Keep the pizza as close to the front as possible. You want it as far from the back as you can get it. You will be turning the pizza, so don't worry about the front not cooking. Keep a close eye on the back of the pizza so as not to let it burn. Don't think you can simply time this and get a good result. You need to watch the pizza like a hawk. A few seconds can be the difference between perfect and charcoal. Expect you will have to turn it after about 90 seconds or so. Turning the pizza: YOU NEED TO TAKE THE PIZZA OUT OF THE OVEN TO TURN IT. So many complaints are about turning the pizza in the tiny little oven. Unless you have some magical pizza peel, I don't see any other way to do this. It is very simple, pull it all the way out, turn it by hand 180deg on your peel, put it back in. I suggest letting the pizza cook as long as possible before pulling it, make sure you peel is clean, dry, and floured. The bottom of your crust will be moist if you haven't let it set up long enough, or has too many wet toppings, or toppings have been on too long, etc. A wet crust stuck to your peel will make for a rough launch back into the oven (although surprisingly not impossible). Don't be afraid to leave the pizza in as long as you can, pulling and turning it several times. The whole process should really take you about three minutes or so, not 90 seconds. Keep in mind the closer to fully cooked your pizza is, the faster the back edge will burn. A raw crust just inserted in the oven can handle the heat a lot better than a nearly finished pizza. When its almost ready, you can go from underdone to on fire in a matter of 5 seconds on that back edge. For the best results, turn your fire back up to max after you pull your finished pizza and give your stone a few minutes to get back up to temp. This isn't absolutely crucial, but helpful. The flame should be at max when preparing your next pizza, turned back down when cooking it, and repeat. A proper session should be done with at least three people, like an assembly line, rolling, topping, and launching, so you don't get overwhelmed doing too much. If you are the oven master, that is all you will have time to do (maybe while drinking a beer). Also, I suggest having a chair in front of the oven so you can be at eye level comfortably, that way it is more comfortable to keep a close eye on the pizza. This may sound like a lot of work, and it is I suppose, but if you are having fun making the pizzas and everyone is freaking out over how cool your new gizmo is and delicious the pizzas are, isn't that what it's all about? I can tell you I had people from every other tailgate within 150' coming to check it out and take pictures. It was fun and delicious and the results were absolutely amazing. I'm sure the fun was part of it, but damn if it wasn't the best pizza I've ever had in my life. A little practice and maybe one or two trial pizzas and you will be an expert in no time! Also, I highly suggest the Ooni carry cover. It is very well designed to be able to carry the oven before it has fully cooled. Open on the bottom (where it stays hot) and allowing the legs to stay extended, so you don't melt whatever you set it on after you are done and don't have time to leave it unattended to fully cool. You can put it back in your car within 15 minutes. Have fun and hope this helps!

After three months of thorough research on pizza ovens, I finally decided to purchase the Ooni Koda 2 propane gas oven (14"). The abundance of information and positive reviews played a significant role in my choice. The setup was easy, and the pizza oven arrived very well packaged. Initially, I hesitated because I really wanted a rotating stone, which Ooni didn’t offer at the time. I was concerned about uneven cooking—a feature that many users praised. Just two days after my purchase, Ooni launched the rotating stone, which was exactly what I had been looking for! Installation took my husband only 20 minutes, which was a relief since I was worried about having to turn the pizza every 20 seconds and risking burns. With the rotating stone, simply wave your hand at the sensor to stop or start it. So far, I've made ten pizzas that turned out great in just three uses of my oven. It does take some practice to get the temperature right, as you need to adjust the flame down after placing the pizza inside to prevent burning the toppings. Still, the excitement of enjoying a perfectly cooked pizza in just a few minutes is absolutely worth it. With a bit of practice, anyone can master this oven and truly savor the delicious results!

This is a two-person oven, one person must love charcoal and another raw dough. You can let it heat up for as long as you want, the front to back temperature is just too great (obvious using an IR gun). You can't rotate the raw dough before the hot end is burned. If you want to return it be sure not to follow the manufacturer suggestions - they don't honor purchases from Amazon. Attributes include poor, inconsistent performance, high cost, small size, easy to move, easy to setup, and it is auto-cleaning on the hot half of the stone.

We've been making homemade pizza every week since getting the Ooni Koda 12, and we're honestly obsessed. As an Italian, I'm pretty picky about pizza, and this oven delivers incredible results every time—crispy crust, perfect char, and authentic pizza flavor right in our backyard. It's fast, easy to use, and has completely transformed our pizza nights. If you love pizza as much as we do, this is one of the best additions we've made to our outdoor cooking setup.

After watching the videos on-line, this pizza oven has been so easy to use. Quick preheat. Constant temperature. I debated whether I should get the 16" size but the 12" size is absolutely perfect. A useful tip from my neighbour who has the same oven, was to turn the heat down a bit once you launch the pizza into the oven. You still need to turn the pizza so I keep a BBQ spatula/fork handy to help turn the pizza on the peel. Using the Ooni pizza recipe for pizza dough (with 00 pizza flour) was the best. It's delicious and fun to make. I would suggest that an improvement that the manufacturer could make is to have the folding legs lock when they are in place; helpful especially if the oven needs to be slightly moved when hot. I originally ordered this oven from RONA as a birthday gift, but after 4.5 weeks of them mishandling the special order that was made in-store (saying they forgot to place the paperwork in the right drawer - what??? - and even blaming the manufacturer). I finally demanded a refund, immediately ordered this product from Amazon and received it the next day. Amazon's delivery timeline came through for this gift.

Dopo le tante recensioni contrastanti ho corso il rischio e ho deciso di acquistarlo. Il forno va benissimo. Cuoce una meraviglia. Logicamente bisogna imparare ad usarlo perché regolarsi sulla temperatura della pietra e la cottura superiore della pizza (che ha bisogno di essere girata spesso) non è semplice. La pratica migliorerà sicuramente i risultati

Si vas a comprar un horno para pizza de esta marca... gengo una sola recomendación... compra el de 16, espera a que este de oferta y compralo... este de 12 es fantastico no me mal interpretes.. .solo que la verdad una vez que este la pizza en el horno necesitas cierto espacio de maniobra con las palas y en el de 12 puede ser que te sientas un poco apretado... ademas el de 16 tiene dos quemadores uno al fondo y el otro lateral... este tiene solo uno al fondo.... es suficiente como para que tus amigos te diga "no inventes se hace en 3 minutos?"... SI SI ES SUFICIENTE pero siempre es mejor un poco mas de espacio par amaniobrar tu pizza un avez en el horno. Por todo lo demás.. no esperes, si encuentra que el horno trae algun descuento (con paciencia salen cada cierto tiempo.. yo lo compre como con 2000 pesos mexicanos de descuento) y no me arrepinento ni tantito.. gran compra... No te deseperes... las primeras 5 pizzas seran un gran fracaso, se romperan adentro, saldra humo de forma substancial, pero conforme comiences a tener buena receta de masa y utilices semola de maiz en la pala para que no se peque la masa al 5 o 6 intento de meter la pizza al horno lo lograrás y a partir de alli será puro disfrute!!! Si te gusta hacer pizzas COMPRALO.. ademas esta super padre y se ve medio minimalista.

Es ist natürlich ein Ofen für den rein privaten Gebrauch, weil nur eine Pizza reinpasst. Die braucht dann je nach eingestellter Hitze zwischen 1,5 bis 7 Minuten. Das ist übrigens genial, weil sie dann entweder neapolitanisch (weich und saftig) oder durch und durch knusprig zubereitet werden kann - je nach Geschmack. Ich empfehle den Kauf eines Infrarot-Thermometers, um die Temperatur des Steins zu messen (kostet im Baumarkt um die 20 €). Ein bisschen knifflig ist es, die unterschiedliche Hitzeverteilung im Ofen zu handhaben - hinten ist es viel heißer als vorne, weshalb man die Pizzen bei hoher Temperatureinstellung unbedingt alle 15 bis 30 Sekunden drehen oder zumindest kontrollieren muss. Am besten nicht zu weit nach hinten schieben, weil da eine irrsinnige Hitze raus kommt - da geht es wirklich um Sekunden, bis die Pizza schwarz wird!

As it is brand there is no doubt in the design and its working. It gives very subtle results and very user friendly. I will recommend this product for pizza lovers.
