Bigger. Better. Smarter. G2 Gas Technology™ means pizza cooking's never been easier

EDINBURGH, Scotland, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ooni, the creator and leader of the home pizza oven market, is announcing two new additions to their best-selling, award-winning gas powered line of ovens: the Ooni Koda 2 Gas Powered Pizza Oven and the Ooni Koda 2 Pro Gas Powered Pizza Oven. Designed and engineered to be bigger, better, and smarter, these two ovens feature 14-inch and 18-inch cooking spaces and Ooni's new G2 Gas Technology™.

The Koda 2 and Koda 2 Pro join the award-winning Koda 2 Max to create the next-generation Ooni Koda 2 Range, a bold evolution of the global phenomenon and best-selling pizza ovens of all time – the Koda 12 and Koda 16.

Masters of heat, the new Koda 2 ovens showcase Ooni's next-generation G2 Gas Technology, featuring a powerful and proprietary patent-pending tapered flame design that achieves more than four times better heat distribution across the pizza stone. The innovative design reduces temperature fluctuations across the stone, eliminating hot and cold spots for a more evenly baked pizza every time. The 50 percent thicker pizza stone reheats 20 percent faster for speedier back-to-back baking. Ooni is so confident in the exceptional performance of these new ovens, they offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

"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, 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 your friends and family. I cannot wait to see customers' reaction, as the Koda 2 sets a whole new standard for pizza ovens."

Ooni Koda 2 Pro Gas-Powered Pizza Oven

The Koda 2 Pro is designed with versatility in mind, allowing anyone – from novice cook to seasoned professional – to refine their craft, explore new possibilities in pizza making and more. With an expansive 18-inch cooking area and over 30 percent larger capacity than Ooni's award-winning Koda 16, the Koda 2 Pro provides plenty of space for launching pizzas, cast iron or sheet pans. An ambient temperature range of 320 ℉ to 950 ℉ means the Koda 2 Pro can cook everything from sizzling steaks to seared veggies or even a whole roast spatchcock chicken, plus a blistering stone temperature of up to 950 ℉ delivers the intense heat needed for authentic New York or Neapolitan-style pizza making. Twin gas burners on either side of the oven provide an incredibly even cook and a removable, six millimeter-thick protective glass visor maximizes heat retention while providing panoramic views of the creations. The Koda 2 Pro's built-in Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub enables bluetooth connectivity, and detachable digital food probes eliminate the guesswork by providing instant and precise temperature readings straight to your phone. Seamless integration with the Ooni app provides recipes, cooking session logs, tips and more. Entertaining has never been easier than with the Ooni Koda 2 Pro, the ultimate pizza party co-host.

Ooni Koda 2 Gas-Powered Pizza Oven

The Koda 2 brings the excitement of pizza-making to the backyard and beyond with its blend of performance, ease and portability. At just 33 lbs, this oven is designed to be both powerful and portable, for the ultimate campsite cookout, tailgate or dinner on your backyard patio. Built for both beginners and seasoned pizzaiolos, the Koda 2 offers a spacious 14-inch cooking area capable of reaching up to 950 ℉, for professional-level pizza in just 60 seconds flat. A two-inch stainless steel pizza ledge at the oven's opening offers a convenient spot to rest and inspect food before cooking further or serving. The plug-and-play setup and compatibility to Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub (sold separately), make achieving restaurant-quality results effortlessly accessible. When it's pizza time, Ooni's Koda 2 is the no-fuss, ready-to-go anywhere cooking companion.

For the first time ever, Ooni is introducing a brand new colorway: Slate Blue. Both ovens will be available in this striking new color as well as Ooni's classic Foundry Black.
