Portable Pizza Ovens
Ooni Koda 12 Gas Pizza Oven
Build quality ****
Performance ***
Aesthetics ***
Versatility **
The Ooni Koda 12 runs purely on gas and has the small ‘letterbox’ opening, so it will only cook thin food. It cooks a great 12″ pizza but you won’t get that authentic wood fired taste.
Our Star Rating: 3.5/5
Igneus Minimo Wood Fired Pizza Oven
Build quality ****
Performance ****
Aesthetics ****
Versatility ****
A good all round lightweight pizza oven, which will cook everything from a pizza to a roast chicken due to its domed cooking chamber. Fulled by kiln dried hardwood logs.
Our Star Rating: 4/5
Ooni Koda 16 Gas Pizza Oven
Build quality ****
Performance ***
Aesthetics ***
Versatility ****
The larger 16″ version of the very successful Ooni Koda 12. The Koda 16 is bigger and therefore far more versatile than its baby brother.
Our Star Rating: 4/5
Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Pellet Pizza Oven
Build quality ****
Performance ***
Aesthetics ***
Versatility ***
The Fyra 12 is Ooni’s modern take on the original Ooni pellet oven. Less popular than the Koda or Karu, the Fyra uses wood pellets which aren’t our favourite fuel source
Our Star Rating: 3.5/5
Ooni Karu 12 Wood Pellet Pizza Oven
Build quality ****
Performance ***
Aesthetics ***
Versatility ***
Our favourite Ooni oven! The Ooni Karu 12 burns small pieces of wood, so sourcing fuel is relatively easy. Let down only by its size which restricts versatility.
Our Star Rating: 3.5/5

The next category is table-top pizza ovens. These ovens are made so you can place them on a table or pre-built area such as an outdoor kitchen.
