Score: 77/100Rankings
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 Koda 2 is an ultra-portable propane pizza oven that delivers even heat for 14-inch pizzas in roughly 60 seconds. Its simplicity comes at the cost of no built-in temperature gauge and limited to propane fuel, ideal for campers and small-space cooks.
