Great pizza (with a little practice)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent multi fuel pizza oven. Heats in about 20 mins and cooks a great pizza in a couple of minutes. Ive used wood, charcoal and the optional gas unit. Gas is less fussy and cooks a good pizza, but you get a more authentic taste when using wood or a charcoal/wood combo. The oven is very sturdy and obviously well built, but still light enough to be portable, ideal for camping/picnics etc. As an owner of the original Karu, the new glass window is a huge benefit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The add-on gas burner on the highest setting only reaches about 550 degrees, rather than 750+ degrees which is what I would’ve expected.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ooni pizza oven oven worked great!!! It was a learning experience the first time, but I know I will get better at it. Very pleased overall. Great family cooking experience too.
So far I’ve done 1 cook using charcoal and wood and I love it already. I wish the part of the charcoal/wood holder was a little taller on the front side of the oven, but overall it went fantastic. Fired 4 pizzas and not one burnt. I can’t wait to try some other types of things to cook in here but after researching for 3 years I would recommend this oven to anyone on the fence! It gets hot it cooks the bottoms nice and you cover that real pizzeria style pizza. In fact it tasted better than some of my local faves.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the great tasting pizzas that come out, but I'm still trying to work the learning curve on sliding it off the peel easily. Living at 6,700 feet, the max temp I've been able to achieve is ~470 degrees, but the pizzas still come out well. Great quality on the build while remaining light weight. Definitely glad I bought dual-fuel as I can take my time with the wood, or make a quick meal with gas.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Karu12G. I bought the gas burner to go with it as I had tried using a similar Ooni wood fuelled pizza oven and it did not achieve consistent cooking. The gas fuelled pizzas were perfect first time with the KARU12G and I'm extremely happy with it. I would recommend buying a turning peel as well as a launching peel as this really helped. Also, it takes longer than claimed to reach temperature (35-40minutes as opposed to 15) but this is splitting hairs. I even took it with me on a caravan holiday and it worked a treat in the wind and rain. All things considered, its a great little oven!
loving everything about it, cooked with gas and wood and they have always been a sucess. no drama's so far. kids loved them, family loved them and much easier to cook with than i expected.
