i dont have this at all, but have been reading up on it everytime deals come up. seems like everyone that opts for the 12" wishes they got the 16".
They didn't get it for $269 tho. 😉
Pizzas cooked in just a few minutes is not long enough to pick up much, if any, wood flavor. Plus a hot burning fire (opposed to a cooler fire, like in a smoker) does not even put out much of any smoke. You'll have to tend the fire and adjusting temps using time and certain amounts of wood/pellets is not as easy as turning a knob. So that's why I want gas.

As far as the size, I definitely was looking to get the 16"... but the price of this is just too good to justify moving up to 16".

This is an even better deal than the previous one. No pizza peel this time, but it's $60 cheaper.

I'd like to get the 16" but this is too good of a deal to pass up.

OP, I would put 12" and Costco in the title.

I want one of these but I'm not sure if I want to go gas only or have the wood option. Also not sure about comparing 12" and 16". Thoughts?

I can't seem to find the edit option, maybe the moderator can edit the title.

i got the 12" and i KINDA wish i got the 16" but only if it were on sale. When i bought the 12", the 16" was sold out for months. im happy with the 12", i make everyone their own pizza, i guess making larger pizzas would be cool, but def not necessary

I have the 16, but rarely make pizza over 12 inches. I would think the key to the 12 would be to heat the grill, then shut the oven off right after launching. Turn it once, then turn the heat back on at the end for just a few seconds to crisp the crust. Otherwise the crust will be too close to the flame and burn very quickly

I bought this a couple weeks ago on the last Costco deal. I make homemade pizza all of the time and this was one of the worst cooking experiences I have had. First of all, the metal pizza peel that it came with before is useless. So, this is a much better deal since you're not paying for garbage.

But, even with our wood pizza peel this thing was a nightmare to use. The opening is so narrow and so short top to bottom that getting anything into it to turn the pizza is very difficult. You need more of a long spatula than a pizza peel of once it's in the oven. Otherwise you basically need to pull the pizza all the way out on the peel, turn it by hand and then put it back in the oven. This was such a process that it really ruined the experience....and the pizza.

The bigger issue is that we just couldn't get this thing up to a sustainable temperature. We got it to 725, cooked the first pizza (which was a disaster for the reasons above) and then let it run for another 15 minutes to get back up to temp. We could not get it back up past 425 even with a new propane tank and letting it run. I'm fairly certain that just the process of cooking that first pizza and having some toppings melt near the burner caused it to mess up. I just got the feeling it was not going to hold up long term.

I think at this price point, it's worth a roll of the dice for anyone who wants to make a very small pizza from time to time. But, my Weber Summit gets up to 800 degrees and I make pizzas on it all the time with much better results. If you have a good quality grill, you might be better off experimenting with a pizza stone on your grill rather than splurging for this.

We returned ours to Costco and had no issues. We just told them it didn't work as advertised. Given their flexible return policy, and this very low price, it's worth a gamble just in case you like it. But, please, get a ten inch wood pizza peel before trying to make anything on it. Otherwise, you're up a creek.

I have the Ooni 3 (now Frya), Karu and the Koda 12. My go to is always the Koda even though I have the gas attachment for the Karu. The Koda is just easy. I thought I would really enjoy cooking with the pellets or wood but the novelty quickly wore off. It's honestly a pain to maintain the temp and it's messy. Having cooked a lot of pizza in all 3 I can also tell you there is no noticeable difference in the taste. I had considered getting the Koda 16 but honestly we like having a lot of different varieties of pizza and I know I'd make less if the pies were bigger.

In a recent thread for a Koda 16 someone mentioned to wait for Bloomingdale's for the 16 and that they expected the deal to hit in April, anyone know any details about this?

i own a 16 and got it during the last round of holiday says because a ton of reviews on the 12 said that they were returning/reselling their 12 to get the 16 because they could only comfortably make a 10 or so in the 12, whereas the 16 let them do 14 without any issue.

no real regrets so far, just cost more upfront- but less than if i went from a 12 to a 16, lol.

12 is very small. I hate making that many pizzas in a regular oven...
