Wish I liked it more
I picked ooni over Gozney mainly because it seems like the company to the core wants good pizza to be made. I struggled a lot with heat control even when I switched to a more stable burning lump wood charcoal. It seems like reaching 950 and getting the nice flame roll over that is ideal for Neapolitan pizza in this oven is either way harder than I thought or like catching lightning in a bottle. The wood either is already spent by the time I have my pizza ready or if I wait and add it before I throw my pizza in soot starts raining. Also the glass cannot go to normal no matter what I do. While I like the challenge of flame cooking it seems I may have overestimated its achievability. I have made about 10 pizzas so I'm still learning but it definitely is harder to work with than the wood fire I use at work.

An amazing upgrade and a generous upgrade scheme
I bought this as an upgrade from an elderly Uuni 3 (the spelling betrays its age!). Everything from easy of use, heat retention and frequency of refuelling is a vast improvement. The increased size makes turning pizzas a breeze even if you don’t intend to bake 16” ones. It also allows you to pull things further away if it is getting a bit warm. All in all an excellent upgrade, sweetened by the very generous upgrade scheme offered on their website. The only downside is the sheer size and weight of the beast. I had assumed I would be moving it to the shed in-between uses but I think I will be buying the pricy cover - probably worth it to protect a high end oven.

Fiery Oven
I am a beginner and every time I cook with Karu 2 I also learn. Fabulous Oven and best choice I made this summer.
Customer review from Ooni
Very happy with my upgrade!
Bought the Karu 2 Pro this year after 7 happy years with my Uuni (yes “Uuni”)… so much easier with the extra space for turning and being able to vary the distance of the pizzas from the fire. Also love the larger fire pit, with the old Uuni you were shovelling in pellets at the back faster than the pizzas at the front :-) . . worked well though!! Also bought the gas burner attachment but haven’t tried it yet, the gas attachment on the old Uuni was fine (as long as it wasn’t windy). I’ve learned a lot about dough making in the last 7 years! Respect the craft! ✌️❤️🍕

Brings me back to working at a pizza place as a ki
I really enjoy making pizzas out of the Ooni, after the learning curve remembering how to land the pizza on the stone without destroying it (wood is your best friend) we’ve had amazing pizza ever since. We live 5 minutes from New Haven, CT so I was a bit hesitant with the amazing quality pizza minutes from my house but we made the right choose, pizza nights are more fun with the Ooni and they are absolutely delicious, that extra few hundred degrees you can’t get in a traditional oven is key. The one we bought does propane and coal/wood. The coal/wood tastes the best but you can’t beat the ease of propane if you want a quick pie.

Great
Gets hot quickly. Fairly easy to use with propane. Can get too hot for many pizza styles. Keep it to 700 and under unless crust is very thin or ingredients are dry, otherwise it might burn outside crust while inner crust might still be soggy. I wish the propane control valve had a more precise adjustment, it can be tricky to get exact right flame size every time. Instructions provided are also a bit vague, but I understand, due to the multilingual nature of it.

Love my Karu 2 Pro
I just love my Kari 2 Pro oven! I find using charcoal and Ooni’s hardwood to be a great combo. I heat the stone to 800 or 850 with charcoal, then add wood when I am ready to launch. This gives me a nice overhead flame when I need it for Neapolitan style pizza. The oven retains heat at about 350 for an hour, allowing me to bake focaccia after I finish the pizzas. The bought the gas attachment which is very easy to swap out. Gas gives more control over flame. The oven is very easy to set up and use, even with tempering the stone initially, I was able to set up, temper and make pizza the first day I got it. I am not mechanically inclined and an intermediate pizza maker, so it really is user friendly. It’s very good looking, I love having the glass door to see the baking process. I bought the medium Ooni table and cover, everything is so nicely made!

Oh oh my Ooni
I had used a terra cotta beehive oven for pizzas before but moved house and did not dare move a 25 year old piece of clay. The Ooni is far more controllable and easy to slide pizzas on and off the stone. I am very happy with it
