Mimiuo Portable Wood Pellet Pizza Oven
Score: 79/100
Ooni Karu 12
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Mimiuo wood-pellet oven provides authentic wood-fire flavor with a max temperature of 500 °C and cooks pizzas in about a minute, packaged with a 13-inch stone and peel. Its 14.7 kg weight and limited temperature control are downsides. Great for outdoor gatherings where smoky flavor is prized.
The Ooni Karu 12 is a versatile multi-fuel outdoor pizza oven that reaches up to 950 °F (518 °C) and cooks 12-inch pizzas in about a minute. It trades off some convenience with manual lighting and lacks built-in temperature monitoring, making it better suited for users who value fuel flexibility over smart features.

They also note its beginner-friendly performance and low-maintenance propane operation, while criticizing the vague lighting instructions and the lack of multi-zone or smart temperature features.
“compact winner”
“small but mighty”
“take to beach or friend's house”
Everyday users love the oven's portability, quick 60-90-second cook times, and the high heat that produces restaurant-style crusts, often mentioning how easy it is to bring to the beach or a friend's house. Common complaints focus on the confusing ignition process, the need for precise dough placement on the tapered stone, and the absence of an app or temperature readout.
