[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Ooni. Have been making pizza for years on our grill . . . But this is next level!! Highly recommend. The features of the oven are great. Very well designed and I particularly appreciate the multi-fuel options!! Great tool for any pizza enthusiasts!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This oven is well worth what I paid for it. Before the Karu I had an off brand wood pellet oven. Although adequate it was not easy to use. Difficult maintaining heat. Constantly tending the fire and having to add pellets. With the Ooni Karu and the gas burner option the oven heats quickly, maintains heat well and is easy to control. First pizzas were perfectly done and in a short time. Oven stays hot between cooks and makes it possible to cook one pie after the other. I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend the Karu with the optional gas burner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic upgrade from my 7 year old 2nd generation pellet fired Uni oven. This new Ooni Karu 12 exceeded my expectations. In my old oven the first pizza was always like the first pancake, not the best. But with the Karu 12 you’re able to make pizza perfection on the first go. I highly recommend getting the box of wood chunks from their website. They were so easy to use and fit perfectly in the fire box. I love this oven!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Ooni Karu 12G since October 2023, my previous one had to be sent back due to rust and the top log entry hole having a loose metal sleeve. I have made some lovely pizzas so far in both of them. It’s sometimes hard to get the temperature up to really hot which is red on the gage and sometimes the pizza sticks to the peel when trying to put it into the oven but most of the time I get it right. I have used the oven on a weekly basis over the winter. Lovely pizzas and great bit of kit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The oven itself is excellent was slightly disappointed with the time it took for it to get to temperature. Using briquettes took almost 2 hrs however much better with Gas and Wood.
Bought the Ooni Karu 12G as a 40th birthday gift from my wife. Made our first pizzas tonight using the gas burner as I felt it would be a nice ease into the outdoor pizza oven cooking experience and boy were we blown away by how easy this oven is to cook pizzas. The top cooked perfectly while the hot stone crisped and cooked the pizza from the bottom. Don’t hesitate to get this oven as it is very high quality and should last. Decided to go the 12” oven route over the 16” ovens due to portability. We like to camp and don’t have a secure place to store the oven outside regularly at home so the 12” with the carry bag was the right option for us to move it around. Looking forward to years of making fabulous pizzas and entertaining the kids and guest in the future. Make sure you preheat the oven and stone before launching the pizza. My first one was just barely done on the underside but the second go was perfect after a longer preheat was established. I also recommend the turning peel as it makes turning the pizza within the oven a breeze! Next cook may be on wood to compare the difference between it and gas.
