What we do
We design, make and sell AMAZING pizza ovens. They’re so AMAZING that lower-case adjectives just don’t do them justice.
Hot and fast is how you cook truly great pizza - all of our models get hot as hell (that’s 950°F last time we checked) and cook incredible pizza in only 60 seconds. Before Ooni, if you wanted pizza that good you had to go to a restaurant or spend thousands on a traditional pizza oven. Not anymore.
Why we do it
Because everyone deserves great pizza, that’s why. It’s a simple idea, but a noble cause that’s behind everything we do at Ooni.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had no problem getting the Karu up to 950 degrees. Using charcoal with a few chunks of seasoned oak on top. The crust is perfect now and my pizzas are AWESOME.
It was super easy to assemble. it's well made, and it doesn't radiate much heat downward. It's safe for my picnic table. Though it's kinda pricy, it's worth every cent.
We had our first pizzas just a couple hours after opening the box. They were awesome and cooked really quickly.
Highly recommend this oven.
I started out using strictly wood as a fuel and I've had it well north of 950 degrees. As a wood fired oven it is simply amazing. Recently I needed to have my temperature down in the 500's and straight charcoal worked well to keep it at that temperature. Just this week I purchased the gas adapter and cooked for the first time with it tonight. It's super easy and very effective, getting well above 800 degrees and cooking more stress free for when you have a large group and want to stress less about adding wood. This is a very well made, well rounded cooking tool that will raise the level of your pizza game. There are other ovens on the market and most of them are awesome. You almost can't go wrong with any of them. For a little more money than many of them this Ooni has a little more capacity and the gas option is just as effective as using wood. Highly recommended.

Wood fired pizza cooked at home is great and we're still perfecting the cook. Have been using the Ooni recipes and get a good dough - definitely recommend the app for the recipes.
The only thing that we'd like to change (please take note Ooni) is the cover.. It covers the oven really really well and the oven stays outside and has been perfectly dry even in heavy rain. We'd just like a cover that covers the oven aswell as the table to protect the entire system and not just the oven. One single cover to go over everything would be great.
Definitely a 5 star purchase that will last a long time!!

Now, the Karu 16. Ooni absolutely nailed it with this one:
First of all, it's heavy and insulated very well, with a massive and thick stone, which means it gets to temperature in 15' or so (which is not too fast) but it STAYS at that temperature in a very stable manner, and you don't need to be adding fuel every minute like you do with other ovens.
Second, it has a huge, 16" stone. This means that you can move a 10" pizza around very easily, from corner to corner, to get the base cooked properly. It's also easy to turn pizzas inside it, without hitting the sidewalls and picking up any soot.
Third, the door swinging down is a game-changer. With most previous pizza ovens I had, you had to put the door somewhere else, meaning you could burn thing, melt things, drop the door and damage it, burn yourself, damage the temperature probe, and of course it would take a lot longer to open and close, so the temperature would drop a fair bit in the process right when you really want a hot oven. This one, you just open, launch the pizza and close it in seconds.
Fourth, it is really really easy to light. Use firelighters and sticks and you will be at 300oC in about 10', and it really gets super hot in 15' if you keep adding fuel.
Fifth, and most crucial; the fixed thermometer and the glass are two tools that really are amazing, as you can easily work out how hot your oven is (just let the flames die down a bit, and see what it stabilises at, which is the temperature of the actual oven's mass rather than the air in the oven) and you can monitor the pizza without opening the door or trying to peek through a tiny flap.
I almost always get it right with my other ovens, as I've practiced pizza-making a lot with them, but it did take a lot of practice and experimentation with each to work out their peculiarities. I was really not expecting I would just nail it straight away first time I used this one. The Karu 16 takes away all guesswork and all you need to do is follow the instructions and watch through the glass.
The downsides; just one; it's a bit pricey. OK, it's ****** expensive. But, it really is very well insulated and it's seriously well-built, and frankly it really works and it's totally in its own league. I know I will be keeping this one, using it a lot, and using it for many many years. For example, I wasted £180 on a Dellonda pile of junk; buy cheap, buy twice, and it really was £180 wasted for a pizza stone and a pizza peel, which were the only useable bits from it. Quality costs, unfortunately.
Would I buy this again, having now used it? Absolutely.
