Best OONI To Date
on June 17, 2024
Posted by: Jim M.
It’s big and beautiful. Easily cook two or three pizzas at a time. Heat control is excellent. With twin burners it heats and cooks evenly. Don’t need to turn as often as with ovens with the flame from rear.
Arrived Father’s Day weekend. It was packaged well. Hardly any assembly required. Put feet on, temperature mount and electronics, add batteries and put stones in. Ready to go in no time.
Heat up time is longer than smaller (30 minuets) but worth the wait.
Only had shred cheese for first run so it burned but had to exercise the OONI. Store bought shred cheese is not a good choice for good pizza.

Koda 2 Max
on June 20, 2024
Posted by: Shivam
I received the Koda 2 Max around a week ago and have been making pizzas non stop. It is massive, so much bigger than the Koda 16. I love how the flames are on the side, makes it much easier to look inside the oven. The temperature display is more useful than I thought it would be. My only issue so far is I cannot connect the temperature display to my phone with Bluetooth, which probably will be fixed with later updates to ooni connect.

The Koda 2 Max is an excellent oven for pizza enthusiasts . The cooking surface is massive , being able to cook a 22 inch NY style pizza is no longer on my wishlist and now a reality!

Best Ooni cooking experience by miles
on June 21, 2024
Posted by: Ethan
WOW! That’s what I said when I first saw how big this beast is, when I first got it on the table, when I first fired it up, and every single time cooking in it! Having the ability to have two different stone temperatures is next level for pizza making! I like to keep one stone around 550 and the other around 750 for the most fun cooking experience!

A Great Oven
on June 22, 2024
Posted by: Gary K.
The Koda 2 Max is a beast, was able to cook 5 pizzas in 6 minutes. Heats up to 650 degrees quickly then took a little longer to get up to 800 degrees. Also worked so well with Salmon in the grille pan. Roasted Marshmallows for smore's were ready in 7 seconds.

Upgrade From Pro
on June 28, 2024
Posted by: darrin
I have an Ooni Pro multi-fuel and so far the Koda 2 Max seems to be cooking the pizzas notably more evenly than the Pro with the propane insert. And there’s more room, it’s easier to light, far better temperature control…it’s just all around a much better experience.

A significant and noticeable upgrade!
on July 2, 2024

I have been baking in different Ooni ovens for years and have previously used two Koda 16 for larger numbers of pizzas. I have been able to bake several times with the new Koda 2 Max and I am really impressed with the new oven! I didn't expect much to have changed apart from the extra space, but the changes to the gas system make a big difference. The pizzas are baked very evenly and the flame is not as direct as on the Koda 16 (or other ovens) which means that the pizza can stay close to the flame for longer and doesn't burn as quickly. In addition, the oven holds the heat incredibly well, so that many pizzas can be baked quickly one after the other (and side by side). For me, the Koda 2 Max not only replaces 2 Koda 16 ovens, but now stands as Ooni's best oven yet.
Anyone who has the space for it will get an absolute workhorse that can easily cope with any pizza night, any large party or even professional catering / food truck operations and delivers insanely good pizza. The oven also looks really stylish and you can tell straight away that it's an Ooni - and what an Ooni it is! I am in love with it and can wholeheartedly recommend it. The price/performance ratio of the Koda 2 Max is great and if you're looking for a new large pizza oven... you've found it! The only thing to consider is the size and weight. Two people are required for transportation and it needs a table of a suitable size - like the large modular table from Ooni.
As an Ooni brand ambassador, I have already been able to test the oven extensively and bake almost 300 pizzas in it, but I would like to emphasize that I did not receive the oven for free. This review is 100% my honest opinion of the oven. If you have any questions, feel free to visit me at @mehlundmehr on Instagram, I'll be happy to help :)
