Ooni Koda 12″ Gas Pizza Oven For $319.20 Shipped From Amazon
This was selling for $398.99 yesterday and is now the lowest price ever from Amazon.
Dan’s Note: We love pizza and we’re the owners of 2 Ooni ovens.
We first bought the base Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Pellet Pizza Oven during the 2020 Black Friday sale after trying some pizzas from my brother in law’s Ooni and we’ve made dozens of mouth-watering pies with it.
The pies from that oven are excellent, but the problem was that it was a patchke to set it up and maintain the correct temperature. So, we also bought the Ooni Koda 16 Gas Powered Pizza Oven and a natural gas conversion kit (Now Ooni sells the natural gas oven without the need for a conversion kit). I had a handyman install a splitter on our natural gas line so that it now feeds both our grill and the Ooni. If I was using propane, I’d probably have just gone with the Ooni Koda 12 Gas Powered Pizza Oven, but unfortunately there is no natural gas conversion kit for the 12″ model. With any of the gas ovens it’s just plug and play, there’s no patchke involved at all.
While the 12″ oven is quite portable, the 16″ oven is much bigger and heavier and it’s connected to a natural gas line, so we leave it outside on an Ooni large modular table, and covered with an AC cover that fits it perfectly.
With any of the ovens you can bake pies at a sizzling 932 degrees in just a minute. With the wood pellet oven you get more of the delicious smoke flavor, but it takes more time and effort. With the gas oven you still can pizza that is incomparable to pizza made in a conventional oven, and it’s a whole lot easier to make than with other fuel options.
If you want the best flavor no matter what, you’ll want to a charcoal or wood burning oven, followed by wood pellet, and then gas. The effort required will be the reverse, with gas being the easiest, followed by pellets, charcoal, and then wood.
Useful accessories are also on sale, like an IR thermometer, pizza peel, wood pellets, serving board, Firestarters, and carrying cover.
For our Shavuos lunch last year we used an existing flame to bake delicious fresh pizzas with a toppings bar for friends and family, and then let the oven go out when the pellets burned out.
Some of the pizzas we’ve made in the past…
We’ve even tried making some dessert pies:
Of course Ooni ovens aren’t just good for pizza, many people use Ooni ovens to bake their own matzah!

The best!!!!
Yes!
What about matzoh baking?
Sure!
Just don’t use those Matzos for Pesach so your not eating Chametz!
I’m actually in for an outdoor gas pizza oven, I know ooni was the original, but nowadays there are others offering 16″ and rotating, how important are those? Is ooni still the best?
+1. is the Ooni worth the money? specially when there are cheaper ones out there?
As experience outdoor pizza guy
I would give ooni BIG F there quite few better user friendly ones at cheaper price
Heat is not even
Stone breaks easily
My favorite is Rockbox.
Heat is very even extremely important in making pizza
Very durable and nicely insulated
And for less experience pizza makers
I would recommend “Baker Stone” the fire is in its own compartment under the stone so very hard to get any burnt marks. Great to serve kids and usuly on sale for like under $200
Roccbox is a better product but more expensive. Downside with roccbox is it’s weight and the inability to swap out the stone which means you can’t use the same oven for dairy and meat (stone is corderite which can’t be kashered).
For your average 5-10x per year pizza party ooni is fine.
My recommendation would be to get the Koda 16.
Tried ooni for short time.
Heat extremely not even especially the stone temp
Stone cracked after only 10 uses
Ooni the pizza oven owns you can’t look away for a second
About switching meat and dairy. Not so simply to swap. Out just like that. You have to make sure everything is really clean.
If want 5-10 times a year. Beginner. Get a baker Stone
Easy to use
Just little on bulkier side not so travel friendly
Will this attach to a natural gas outdoor connection?
@dan, I would suggest breaking the flow in your article between the shvuos event and the pictures, it can come across that the pictures are from that shvuos
Maybe they were taken by a non-Jew 🙂
This is the 28mbar European model — if you’re in the U.S., you’d typically want the U.S. propane model (regulator rated at 11″ WC).
Only for propane, not compatible with natural gas unless using a specific conversion kit.
I’m a big ooni fan with a koda 16 and always looking for more ideas of things to make in there besides pizza – any ideas?
