Full Review

The Ooni Koda 12 Gas Pizza Oven has quickly become one of our favorite outdoor pizza ovens. Ooni has designed a unit that reaches the extreme temperatures needed for authentic pizza in remarkably little time. Key highlights include heats up to 932°f (500°c) in just 15 minutes for fast cooking and compact and portable design with a 12-inch cooking surface.

What sets this oven apart is its ability to produce restaurant-quality results at home. The intense heat creates the perfect charred, blistered crust that pizza lovers crave, while the stone floor ensures even cooking from edge to center. Setup is straightforward, and most users will be making their first pizza within minutes of unboxing.

Beyond pizza, this oven is surprisingly versatile. We've used it for roasting vegetables, baking bread, and even cooking steaks at extreme temperatures. The Ooni Koda 12 Gas Pizza Oven is an excellent addition to any outdoor cooking setup and delivers on Ooni's promise of quality and performance.
