Get the 16" folks.
Yeah, I debated that point quite a bit and my wife protested my purchase exactly for this reason. After a year, she has admitted that she was wrong and she asks me to make pizza every few weeks. In terms of making the pizza, you can spend a lot of effort on it, but you don't have to. I've tried making dough and sauce from scratch a few times but that was too much effort for me. Now a days, I just buy pre-made dough from Trader Joe's at about $1.50 a ball (which I split in 2), a jar of pizza sauce from them, sliced mozzarella from Costco that we pretty much always have on hand, and whatever toppings. It comes together pretty easily/quickly.

My routine:
- Pull dough out of fridge and let it rest on floured surface (30 min of rest time)
- 15 min into the rest period, I fire up the oven (needs at least 15 min to get the stone up to temp)
- Spend ~15 min chopping up cheese/toppings.
- At this point, toppings, dough and oven are ready, so I assemble it and throw it in.
- Each pizza takes a couple of minutes to assemble and 3~4 min to cook.
I agree, we make 14" pies in the Koda 16 regularly. Personal recommendation - I would make your pie 2" smaller than the size of your Koda, the size is a max size, you don't want your crust right up against the flame wall.

The pizza quality improves with the higher heat. Good oven if it actually reaches the claimed temperature.

I had the option to buy a Solo Stove or a pizza oven. I went with the stove and now have some regrets... Don't get me wrong, having a bonfire in the backyard is great.
But pizza.

Problem is they almost never do deals anymore, and definitely not on 16"

I got mine from Bloomingdale's last year. They had the 16 when Ooni was on back order for months. Mine came with a cover and other accessories for $400

Yeah I missed that one. Once a year is pretty rare. At retail I'd rather go with the Carbon oven.

Highly recommend Ooni's "turning peel." You can buy a cheaper peel on Amazon for launching the pizza.

What's the story behind the turning peel? I watched their video, but I must be a bit slow. Outside of the gaps in the bottom, what makes it stand out?

The turning peel is smaller so you can rotate the pizza while it's cooking to even out the cooking. We turn ours 1/4 about every 20 seconds. The larger peel that you use to launch the pizza in is harder to maneuver in rotating it. You don't have to rotate it but it definitely has better results.

Quote from gerryp9151 :
with the Koda 12 IMO you have to log in many hours to perfect the cooking process. There is VERY little room for error when baking a pie because of how the flame is so close the crust. Ten seconds is the difference between a nice leopard crust vs a charred burnt one. You need to stay over it the entire 60-90 second process turning it with a peel every quarter turn. The dough ingredients also has alot to do with how quickly it will cook (hydration and yeast). And you do not want alot of toppings because it will taking longer thus a better chance of burning the crust.

It took me a few attempts, but it wasn't so much learning how to use the oven as knowing how much to stretch the dough before it gets too thin. Too thin and you run the risk of the sauce and cheese oozing through during baking and creating a huge mess on the stone. If you turn down the flame and keep the pizza closer to the front of the stone, you have more control and time to react if it is browning too much in one spot.

Santa Barbara Baker on YT has some very informative videos on making dough and using Oonis.

If anyone is really cheap, checkout Vevor's 12" Koda clone, it is only $230 with peel/case/cutter and is almost a 1:1 match in terms of quality. I've done 10 pizzas so far with no issues. Fit and finish is the same as Kodas I looked at in person.

Quote from Jharrin1 :
Any thoughts from owners whether this is a worthwhile upgrade over doing pizzas in a kamado? I have done them in my kamado joe and it was plenty hot and they came out fairly well. Certainly the gas in a nice convenience over the charcoal but I'm wondering about the quality of the pizza. Thanks!

I have Kamado, my buddy has the ooni. I am considering pulling the trigger for three reasons.. 1) it gets to temp quick in 20 mins vs an hour 2) it uses way less fuel 3) you can cook back to back pizzas, with Kamado.. temp drops a good 200 and need it to heat up again before putting the next pizza on.

I like to cook at 700 ish range

I was about to pull the trigger on this deal but just found a replica of this for $220 shipped. Anyone seen this? Vevor dot com has what appears to be the same model rebadged. I saw another SD'er that said they bought it and it is the same unit but with Vevor brand logo.

Thoughts?

I really think 12" is going to be too small long term for me but for $220 to get into high heat portable pizza oven seems like a no brainer until I can get a 16" model.
