Ooni has launched two new additions to its gas-powered oven line: the Ooni Koda 2 Gas Powered Pizza Oven and the Ooni Koda 2 Pro Gas Powered Pizza Oven. The ovens are designed to be bigger, better, smarter and use Ooni’s new G2 Gas Technology.
The Koda 2 and Koda 2 Pro join the Koda 2 Max to create the next generation Ooni Koda 2 Range, an evolution of the Koda 12 and Koda 16 ovens.
The Koda 2 ovens showcase Ooni’s G2 Gas Technology, which features a powerful and proprietary patent-pending tapered flame design that achieves more than four times better heat distribution across the pizza stone, said the company. The design reduces temperature fluctuations across the stone to eliminate hot and cold spots for more evenly baked pizza. The 50 percent thicker pizza stone reheats 20 percent faster for speedier back-to-back baking, Ooni continued.
“We’ve taken six years of learning and feedback from over one million customers who have loved the Koda 12 and Koda 16 since 2019,” said Kristian Tapaninaho, Ooni founder and co-CEO. “Our team has reimagined and re-engineered the new Koda 2 Range to level up every single touchpoint and technology, making it better and easier than ever to enjoy incredible pizza with our friends and family. I cannot wait to see customers’ reaction, as the Koda 2 sets a whole new standard for pizza ovens.”
The Koda 2 Pro has an 18-inch cooking area and over 30 percent larger capacity than Ooni’s Koda 16. It has a temperature range of 320°F to 950°F for cooking everything from steaks and seared veggies to a whole roast chicken, in addition to the 950°F needed for authentic New York or Neapolitan-style pizza making. Twin gas burners on either side of the oven are designed to provide an even cook. A removable six-millimeter-thick protective glass visor maximizes heat retention while providing panoramic views. The built-in Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub has Bluetooth connectivity and detachable food probes can provide instant and precise temperature readings to the user’s phone. It also connects to the Ooni app for recipes, cooking session logs, tips and more.
The Koda 2 is 33 pounds, designed to be powerful and portable for campsites, tailgates or backyard patios. The Koda 2 offers a 14-inch cooking area capable of reaching up to 950°F for professional-level pizza in 60 seconds. A two-inch stainless steel pizza ledge at the oven’s opening offers a spot to rest and inspect food before cooking further or serving. It is compatible with the Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub, sold separately.
Ooni is also introducing a new colorway: Slate Blue, a color both new ovens will be available in as well as the company’s Foundry Black color.
The Ooni Koda 2 Gas Powered Pizza Oven (MSRP $449) is available for purchase now at Ooni.com.
The Ooni Koda 2 Pro Gas Powered Pizza Oven (MSRP $749) will be available for purchase beginning May 1, 2025, at Ooni.com.
