What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's winning outdoor pizza oven, with full marks for performance and ease of use (the Karu 2 Pro scored 2.5 for ease). "The Ooni Koda 2 is a breeze to set up and has a 14-inch stone, providing welcome wiggle room for making 12- and 13-inch pizzas." Its gas burner "made attractive, spotty-browned, tender pizzas in just 2 minutes." It runs on propane only, with no wood option, and weighs about 30 pounds. ATK didn't test long-term durability.
