Ooni Koda 2 Pro Gas Pizza Oven - 18" Gas Powered Outdoor Oven with 28 mBar Regulator and Gas Hose - Black Review (2026)

Who this oven fits

The Koda 2 Pro sits in the middle of Ooni's gas lineup, sized for cooks who want to make family-size pizzas without moving up to the largest Koda 2 Max. The stone measures 21 inches at the front opening and tapers to 18 inches at the back, giving enough room for a 16 inch pie with margin to turn it. At roughly 66 pounds and just over 26.9 by 25.7 by 15.5 inches, it is not a grab-and-go camping oven the way a smaller Koda is, so it suits a patio, deck or outdoor kitchen table where it can stay set up rather than being packed in and out of a car every use.

What is new under the hood

Ooni built the Koda 2 Pro around its G2 Gas Technology, a tapered flame burner designed to direct heat more evenly across the stone than earlier Koda burners. Ooni states this design cuts stone temperature swings significantly compared with the prior generation and reheats the stone faster between pizzas, which matters when cooking for a group back to back. The oven runs on propane fed through the included 28 mBar regulator and gas hose, so it is ready to connect to a standard tank out of the box. Reported temperature range spans roughly 320 to 950 degrees Fahrenheit, covering everything from a gentle reheat to full Neapolitan-style bakes in about a minute.

Setting it up and using it

Because the oven is gas-only, there is no wood or pellet hopper to manage, no ash to clean out and no flame tending beyond adjusting the control dial, which keeps day-to-day use closer to a grill than a traditional wood oven. The wider stone means more room to slide a pizza in without scraping the dough against the oven walls, and the tapered shape still lets flame roll across the full surface for an even bake. Given its weight, most owners keep it on a dedicated Ooni table or cart rather than a folding table, and the compact footprint means it still fits most standard outdoor prep tables despite the wider cooking chamber.

How it compares with the rest of the Koda line

Against the smaller Koda 16, which uses a similar 28 mBar regulator and hose setup but tops out around a 16 inch stone, the Koda 2 Pro costs noticeably more for the extra width and updated burner technology. Compared with budget alternatives like the Commercial Chef gas oven bundle that ships with a stone, peel and cover for less money, the Koda 2 Pro focuses spending on burner performance and stone size rather than included accessories. Buyers who mainly cook 12 inch pizzas for one or two people may find the smaller Koda 16 or Koda 12 a better value, while larger households benefit more from the added stone room here.

Verdict and who should look elsewhere

Our score of 8.8 out of 10 reflects a well-built oven that earns its place between Ooni's compact and largest gas models, with a burner upgrade that should mean steadier bakes rather than just a bigger stone. It is the right call for anyone who bakes for a family or small group regularly and wants a fixed outdoor setup. Shoppers on a tighter budget, or those who need a lighter oven to carry to a campsite or tailgate, should look at a smaller Koda or a more basic gas oven bundle instead, since this model spends its extra cost on size and burner refinement rather than portability.
