Ooni Karu 2 Pro
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Solo Stove Pi Prime is a propane-powered portable pizza oven reaching about 482 °C and cooking 12-inch pizzas in 1.5 minutes, offering rapid heat and sturdy stainless-steel construction. It requires a separate propane tank and has a low opening height that limits thicker pies. Best for campers and tailgaters who value fast, consistent heat.
The Ooni Karu 2 Pro is a versatile multi-fuel oven with Bluetooth temperature monitoring and a high 950°F max heat. Its larger size and 15-minute preheat make it less portable and slower to start. Ideal for users who want fuel flexibility and precise control in a backyard setting.
