Ooni Koda 12 review
Of the Ooni ovens I used, the Koda 12 offered the easiest portability but the least working room around a pizza.

Ooni Koda 2 Max review
The Koda 2 Max’s large-format capacity felt genuinely different in use, but its bulk and the quality-control concerns I encountered were substantial trade-offs.

Ooni Karu 12 review
After four years with the Karu 12, I see it as the most portable route into live-fire pizza cooking. In practice, I often fitted the optional gas burner for solo preparation and larger gatherings because it reduced workload and held a more predictable temperature.

Ooni Karu 2 Pro review
The Karu 2 Pro is my enthusiast’s choice in Ooni’s multi-fuel range. Its taller chamber and broader cooking ability mattered more than its nominal 16-inch capacity, which I found possible but cramped with a wide peel.

Ooni Volt 2 review
The Volt 2 is the easiest Ooni to live with when it works. Cooking indoors is a joy, but cracked stones and electronic faults stop me giving it an easy recommendation. It suits buyers who value convenience and are comfortable relying on the warranty if something goes wrong.

Direct comparison
Ooni Koda 2 Pro vs Ooni Koda 2 Max
The Koda 2 Pro is the better buy for most people cooking large pizzas. The Koda 2 Max earns its £300 premium only when its two cooking zones or 20-inch capacity will be used regularly.
Direct comparison
Ooni Koda 2 Pro vs Gozney Arc
Two capable outdoor gas ovens with very different priorities: the Koda 2 Pro goes big on cooking space, while the Arc is smaller and considerably lighter.
Direct comparison
Ooni Koda 12 vs Koda 16
The compact 12-inch Koda is easier to move and store, while the Koda 16 provides substantially more room for launching, turning and cooking larger pizzas.
