KODA 2 is King
on September 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has taken a few tries to figure out the right temp and process to get the crust and the top perfect at the same time. Once that was established the pizzas were just as good as any restaurant.

Best pizza oven. Period.

This is the best pizza oven I’ve cooked on in over 7 years of baking. It’s simple and fun. The thermometer display is excellent and the app’s alerts are really useful.

Game Changer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been making pizza from scratch for several years now, but this is my first dedicated pizza oven and it’s a total game changer. It heats up and recharges quickly, and it’s very easy to control how much flame you need for the top to cook the way you want it.
Our first bake was a success, but the second bake was absolutely phenomenal once I worked out a couple kinks. Easily the best pizza we’ve ever made at home.
Having it hooked up to the gas line on our back porch makes it super easy to set up, which means we are more likely to use the oven more often. I built a gas valve tee so both our grill and the oven can stay hooked up to gas, and can be shut off separately.
My one complaint has to do with the app/bluetooth signal. You have to be pretty close (within 15’) to the oven or it will disconnect, so I can’t really keep an eye on temps while in the kitchen prepping the next pie. Kind of defeats the purpose of that feature, so I probably won’t use it. Despite this, I still give it 5/5 stars, and we look forward to years of homemade pizza in this oven.

I bought a max 2 after a pellet oven would not heat up properly
I did a test run and got it up to 865 degrees.
I have used it twice and it will not heat past 760 degrees
Why is this ?

Best pizza oven for your backyard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best pizza oven upgrade ever!! I upgraded to the Ooni Koda 2 Max from the Ooni Karu 16 & it was a great decision. I kept the Karu 16 for when I want to use wood however the Koda 2 Max is my go to now for everything. It has such a huge space where I can make very large pies or multiple smaller pies. I highly recommend the Koda 2 Max. Ooni's oven upgrade program is also another great part of Ooni. Keep up the great work Ooni. You have a life long Customer with me.

Unit won’t stay lit
on August 25, 2024
Posted by: Patrick P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both burners will not light while the other is lit. Makes it impossible to use the oven.
