How to Choose between Ooni Koda 16 vs Ooni Pro
There are a few differences. Not major differences, but still. The main one probably is the fuel source!
- Portability. If you want to take your pizza oven with you, the Koda pizza oven is probably more your thing. It has foldable legs and is quite a few pounds lighter.
- Fuel source. If you want a pizza oven that runs on wood and charcoal as well as gas, you’ll need the Ooni Pro oven. The Koda oven runs on propane gas only, or natural gas with a conversion kit.
- The look. The Koda oven is powder-coated steel and the Pro oven is brushed stainless.
- Price. At the time of writing, the Koda oven is $100 cheaper than the
Ooni Pro oven. Shipping is free to most places.

Should You Buy the Ooni Pro Oven or Koda 16 Oven?
- If you’re looking for pro-style cooking on multiple fuel sources, I recommend you go with the Ooni Pro oven.
- If you’re looking for a more portable, just-gas pizza oven, the Koda 16 oven will be plenty for you.
The main difference really is the fuel source.
- Both pizza ovens cook 16″ pizzas at ultra-hot temperatures in 60 seconds.
- Both pizza ovens look great.
- Both are built of great quality and have wide openings, and
- They both have a cordierite baking board.
