Ooni Koda 2 Pro
Score: 79/100Rankings
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 Pro offers high-heat performance up to 500 °C, an 18-inch cooking area, and Bluetooth-enabled temperature control via the Ooni Connect app. Its larger size and weight make it less portable, catering to backyard enthusiasts who prioritize capacity and precision.
