Our pick

Ooni Koda 2

Choose the Ooni Koda 2 for propane cooking with pizzas up to 14 inches.¹²

Why this one

Its 14 inch pizza capacity gives you a larger diameter than the 12 inch Pi Prime and Arc Lite, without adding wood or charcoal to your fuel setup.¹²³⁴
The oven is listed at 35.27 lb and uses a battery for ignition; check the weight and handling space before moving it.¹²

Fontana Forni USA Margherita Wood Countertop Pizza Oven
Choose the Fontana Margherita wood countertop oven when two 12 inch pizzas at once matter more than moving the oven: this configuration is listed at 187 lb.⁵¹⁹
Ooni Karu 2
Choose the Karu 2 if you want wood or charcoal cooking instead. It fits 12 inch pizzas; propane requires a separately sold burner.¹⁴²⁰²¹

For pizzas 16 inches and larger

This group has an explicit pizza-diameter rating of at least 16 inches.³¹³² Choose the Koda 2 Max for its stated 20 inch pizza capacity or two 12 inch pizzas at once; its listed 94.7 lb weight calls for planning where it will stay.¹⁶²⁸³²

For cooking without an open flame

An electric oven avoids a gas bottle or solid fuel, but needs the specified electrical supply.¹³²⁶ The Ninja Artisan is the electric option here for a 12 inch pizza, with a 1760 watt requirement and a 15 amp circuit specified by the source.¹³²⁶
