Leaving aside the fact that these ovens are so sleek and high-style they resemble an Italian sports car more than a backyard appliance, let's listen to the performance reviews. "I really enjoy the wood fire aspect of this product," writes one reviewer about the Fyra model. "The pellets are very easy to use and I have no issue controlling the temperature. We were making excellent pizza right away and it's been fun perfecting our technique." Propane grill lovers will appreciate that the gas-powered Ooni Koda 12 model has "easy setup and it works flawlessly. Pizzas are coming out as good as or better than we were getting from high-end pizzerias," according to another reviewer.
As for the Ooni Karu 16 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven, the big daddy for pie size and fuel options that lets you cook with wood or charcoal out of the box, it's got a mounted digital thermometer that displays internal ambient oven temperature, and like all the Ooni models, comes with a five-year warranty with registration.
So in the Father's Day/Summer 2023 run-up, here are your words to live by: Life's too short, buy the pizza oven (especially when it's on sale).
