Ooni Volt 2 Electric vs Ooni Gas and Multi-Fuel Pizza Ovens

Best for
Indoor game nights, apartments, no propane

The Ooni Volt 2 Electric Indoor Pizza Oven is Ooni’s countertop electric oven, and the reason most people search for an Ooni indoor pizza oven. It cooks 12 inch pizzas and covers a 70 to 850 degree Fahrenheit range, so it also handles weeknight meals, cookies and roasted vegetables. The package includes the oven, a cordierite stone and a power plug.

Its headline feature is Pizza Intelligence, a patent-pending control system that adjusts temperature in real time for speed, accuracy and consistency. One-touch presets and clear icons make setup quick, and the listing mentions a broiler option, racks and programmable touch controls. On warranty, the listing is mixed: the feature text describes 1 year standard extended by 3 years on registration within 60 days, while the spec table simply says 1 year.

Choose the Volt 2 if you want pizza night without a propane tank or a patio. If you have outdoor space and want the full 950 degree heat that gas and wood Oonis reach, the Koda and Karu ovens below go hotter.

• 70 to 850 F temperature range
• Pizza Intelligence adaptive control
• One-touch presets and digital interface
• Cordierite stone included

Wood-fire flavor on the go

The Ooni Karu 12 Multi-fuel Outdoor Portable Pizza Oven runs on wood or charcoal straight from the box, or on propane with the Ooni Gas Burner attachment sold separately. Ooni says it is ready in 15 minutes, reaches 950 degrees Fahrenheit and cooks a 12 inch stone-baked pizza in 60 seconds. A redesigned fuel tray maximizes airflow for a strong blast of flame with less ash to clean.

At 26.4 lbs with fold-down legs and a removable chimney, it is the easiest oven here to take camping. Ooni also pitches it for steak, fish and vegetables with its cast iron cookware. The listing’s included-components field names an unrelated item, which looks like a data error, so rely on the product description for what is in the box. Warranty is listed as one year limited.

The Karu 12 fits anyone who wants real wood-fired flavor in a portable package. If you want a glass door and built-in thermometer, the Karu 2 is the upgrade.

Big pizzas for backyard crowds

The Ooni Koda 16 Propane Gas Pizza Oven cooks 16 inch pizzas and reaches 950 degrees Fahrenheit. Ooni says it is ready in 20 minutes and bakes a pizza in 60 seconds. A powder-coated carbon steel shell holds heat, and instant gas ignition means you turn a dial and cook.

It ships with a 28 mBar regulator and gas hose attached, and connects to a propane bottle only; it is not compatible with natural gas. The listing notes automatic shut-off. Warranty is 1 year as standard, extended by 5 years when registered within 60 days. Hosts serving several people will appreciate the larger pie size, and a sturdy Ooni pizza oven table gives an oven this size a proper home on the patio.

The Koda 16 suits big outdoor gatherings. It gives way to the Koda 2 Pro if you want an even larger stone and digital temperature readings.

Best for
Enthusiasts wanting glass door and thermometer

The Ooni Karu 2 Multi-Fuel Outdoor Pizza Oven is Ooni’s most refined multi-fuel model. Ooni describes it as its most advanced portable pizza oven, with a borosilicate glass door using ClearView technology, an integrated thermometer, a powder-coated body and an advanced airflow system.

It reaches cooking temperature in as little as 15 minutes, tops out at 950 degrees Fahrenheit and cooks 12 inch pizzas in 60 seconds. The extra-large fuel tray takes wood or charcoal, and an optional gas burner (sold separately) uses 36 percent less gas than previous models according to Ooni. The listing gives a weight of 15.3 kg and dimensions of 29 by 16 by 28 inches.

In an Ooni Karu 12 vs Karu 2 comparison, the Karu 2 adds the glass door and thermometer that help you watch the bake without losing heat. The Karu 12 remains lighter and simpler.

• ClearView borosilicate glass door
• Integrated thermometer
• Wood, charcoal or propane with optional burner
• 950 F top temperature

Portable gas oven for 14 inch pies

The Ooni Koda 2 Propane Gas Pizza Oven is the portable member of the Koda 2 family. It weighs 35 lbs and has a 14 inch stone. The thicker stone holds more heat, which Ooni says cuts reheat time between back-to-back pizzas, a real benefit when a group is waiting.

Its G2 Gas Technology uses a patent-pending tapered flame burner for better heat distribution. The listing’s highlight states a 375 to 950 degree Fahrenheit range, knob control and a 28 mBar regulator and gas hose in the box. It is propane only. Warranty text describes 1 year standard, extended by 5 years on registration, while the spec table says 1 year.

The Koda 2 suits outdoor hosts who want a compact gas oven with more room than a 12 inch model. For 16 inch pies, look at the Koda 16; for the largest capacity, the Koda 2 Pro.

The Ooni Koda 2 Pro Gas Pizza Oven is the largest oven here. Its stone measures 21 inches at the front and 18 inches at the rear, and Ooni says it has 30 percent more capacity than its predecessor, with room for pizzas, cast iron and sheet pans.

The listing describes an expanded range of 160 to 500 degrees Celsius, G2 propane burner technology that Ooni claims gives 420 percent better heat distribution, and the Bluetooth Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub for ambient and food probe readings on your phone. Pyrolytic cleaning reduces clean-up effort, and the listing mentions an LED display. It is propane only, with a 28 mBar regulator and hose included. The listing does not specify weight or warranty.

This is the oven for hosts who cook more than pizza. Keeping pies moving on a stone this big is easier with an Ooni pizza turner.
