Simply Awesome
on October 4, 2024
Posted by: Chris B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I opted for the 12G because I wanted a small portable wood fired pizza oven to use outside our motorhome. I was not disappointed the Ooni Karu 12G is simply awesome! Easy setup, straightforward fire building and lighting, reaches cooking temperature quickly and makes great pizza! My friends loved looking at the rolling flame in the evening darkness but it’s what it does to the oven and pizza that is remarkable. I’d done a fair bit of research and watched a lot of videos on ovens and their use, the 12G seemed the obvious choice for me and I’d really recommend it.

I grew tired of buying

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew tired of buying cardboard covered with pizza sauce and toppings so I decided to do something about it-I went Ooni!
As a former resident of Naples Italy, I knew real pizza and Ooni delivers. Within a couple of tries, we were making pizzas Papa John could only dream about.
We’ve cooked steaks and pizzas. I think the sky is the limit.

Trial and Error, not there yet...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used our oven to make about 8 pizza's so far and this is what I found. It takes about 45 minutes to heat the stone to 750 using wood and charcoal. I'm learning that this thing sucks wood like crazy in order to maintain the heat. You have to use a lot of wood in order to keep the flames streaming along the top of the oven. The other thing is coming up with the right doe, we continue to experiment to get the right texture without being to heavy. And you can't make the crust to thick or have to many ingredients or the center with not be cooked and the edges will be burnt. It's trial and error.

Great Pizza oven
on November 1, 2024

We finally setup our pizza oven (which was so easy). We’re novice to the pizza making world so our first try making pizza was ok (the pizza was a bit misshapen, but tasted delicious). I’m sure with practice we’ll get there! Overall really loving our pizza oven.

Molto buono

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very pleased with the oven in general. It looks nice, it works, I can make great little pizzas with it. I’m looking forward to trying other stuff (potatoes, root veggies, etc). There are a couple of parts that feel a little flimsy - the fuel hatch handle gets downright wobbly and flexible when it’s hot especially, and the separately-sold peel feels cheaply made. However: so far it’s been great. I marked “other” for temperature because I’ve had pizzas take 5-7 minutes and still be undercooked as well as pizzas that have literally caught on fire. Part of that is almost certainly user error, but it does seem that the thermometer on the side isn’t the mooost useful gauge. The temp also is very much affected by the weather. Oh, one other thing: it uses more fuel than claimed and takes longer to preheat, in my experience. All that said: for the price, I’m quite happy with this and have no regrets about buying it. Looking forward to many more pies (et c).

The best for the money and size

Had this for a year now. Its incredible. Having the best of both worlds with propane and wood burning. We def use the propane more often but can't go wrong. Did many days of research and so glad we went with this.
