    This oven is AMAZING! Professional grade pizzas in your own backyard.
    I've wanted a brick pizza oven for years and I finally gave up on that dream after finding out that they're illegal in my city for new construction. We decided to buy a portable oven and, honestly, our expectations were not high. It's pizza after all so it can't be a bad thing no matter what. After buying this oven I have learned that there are legions of amateur Pizzaiolos using small ovens and making incredible pizza. I, if I may be so bold, have become one of them.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.

    My kitchen oven heats to 550 degrees F, but even using two pizza stones I could never never never get a proper bake on the crust.

    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.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2022
    The product arrived earlier than expected. Its a big somewhat heavy box. The 2 pizza stone add to most of the weight. Setup took < an hour just taking my time, super simple. Most is pre-built and the tool needed is included. Make sure you have a big space table to install on. Also, make sure you have or purchase a nice metal table to use this oven on...no wood of glass table, it can get HOT. The oven is wide. It comes with a grate you slide to the very back for hardwood or charcoal. I used "hardwood mesquite charcoal" my first few times. Temp got to 700 F! Honestly, it takes time to learn to perfect (and I am not there!) making your pizza. Wife made a fantastic sourdough pizza blobs. Rolled them out (shoot for thin), sauced and toppings them up! There are 2 kinds of pizza peels...wood and metal. The wood was a bit thicker but worked excellent for getting the pizza in the oven...use cornmeal so it slides around / off onto the oven easy. Then I use a long handled thin BBQ spatula to slide under the pizza and turn / move it around. DO NOT go off and ignore your baking...it will catch fire! I then used a metal very thin Pizza peel to snatch the pizza off the oven. I also decided to invent and but the propane attachment. Major improvement and ease of firing up the oven. You remove the simple airflow attachment off the back. Install the propane attachment, connect your propane tank, fire it up...hit 900+ degrees in 20 minutes! Very easy to regulate the flame in minor increments. I will be looking at other recipes and techniques to perfect the process. To say its a conversation piece and people love the pizza is an understatement! Clean up is simple and I keep up with it after every cook session. Just turn the oven off (or let the wood/charcoal wither away). Get up the next morning and scrape off the burned ash, take the stones out and scrub them in the sink, takeout side to dry...do a quick vacuum of ash inside, clean the glass and inside door / where the stones will go back with some simple cleaner (simple green)...bobs your uncle...ready for the next meal! Cheers...I really like this...I use on my back deck and I do have a 10 foot ceiling over it and despite this puppy getting to 900 degrees...no problem 7+ feet above the metal chimney with heat rising. They make a cover for it (not gotten it)...in case it does sit in the elements. I only picked 4 stars on "giftable" as you better like the person a lot to gift this expensive but awesome gift!

    The oven was easy to assemble and hook up to the propane tank.

    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've wanted a brick pizza oven for years and I finally gave up on that dream after finding out that they're illegal in my city for new construction. We decided to buy a portable oven and, honestly, our expectations were not high. It's pizza after all so it can't be a bad thing no matter what. After buying this oven I have learned that there are legions of amateur Pizzaiolos using small ovens and making incredible pizza. I, if I may be so bold, have become one of them.

    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.

    What a great pizza oven. Works equally well with the provided wood fire tray or the gas accessories. Cleanup is easy, kick the oven up to 950 and everything turns to ash. Then just wipe it out.

    2 words - love it. Bought the oven, cover and then the Ooni table for it. Was a little disappointed the gas burner wasn't already part of the multi fuel oven kit but we got that aswell for versatility. Yes its a lot to spend on pizzas, but based on what we spent weekly on "Friday night pizzas" from the big boy delivery companies, the entire thing will pay for itself at some point..
    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!!

    If you are not using the gas option, expect a LOT of smoke. This works great, though. Pizzas/calzones in a minute, heats up well, if you are using the right wood.

    Il forno era la cosa che mancava.

    Ooni top in tutto. In questa occasione ho utilizzato il gas, ma proverò anche a legna.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ooni NAILED IT. Zero complaints from me.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2023
    First of all, I own other pizza ovens too and have owned them for years. This was my first Ooni; all others are cheaper ones (I have a Burnhard Nero, for example, which also makes great pizza and I can only praise it). If you spend a lot of time using them and understand how to use them to their full potential, you can make great pizza. But, they take a lot of practice and there is a lot of guesswork involved at times, and sometimes even I get it wrong with them, and it ends up with a pizza frisbee and a lot of swearing!

    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.
