Ooni Koda 16 Review
We love family pizza nights. We love to gather around our kitchen counter and create pizzas.
After years of baking our pizza in the oven, we knew that there had to be a better way.
I started researching outdoor pizza ovens and immediately found that the Ooni pizza oven was our best option.
The Ooni Koda 16 is our favorite pizza oven for a few reasons…
First, the Koda is incredibly easy to use, just plug it into your propane tank, or gas, wait for it to heat up, and then add your pizza.
Second, it cooks pizzas incredibly quickly. In just about 60 seconds, you will have an incredibly delicious homemade pizza to enjoy. The Ooni reaches temperatures of up to 950°F.
Third, it produces pizzas with a delicious, authentic flavor. If you’re looking for a great pizza oven, the Ooni Koda 16 is a great option.

Frequently Asked Questions:
I’ve tried it all, homemade dough, sourdough pizza dough, store bought… Overall, if I have the time, I love to make it from scratch, but that’s rare. My preference is to buy Publix fresh dough and secon best is Trader Joe’s fresh dough.
If we’re in Ohio, I love going to Devitis Italian Market and buy their dough.
We love a good margherita pizza, but Matt and my personal favorite is topped with burrata, fresh basil from our garden, and balsamic glaze.
Absolutely! She loves to help shape the dough and add toppings. Her favorite is when she gets to make a heart shaped homemade pizza.
How did you perfect the cooking of the dough before the toppings burn? I have the Ooni pizza oven too. I’ve tried cooking with the wood chips haven’t tried using the gas option! How long do you keep the pizza in before turning?
