In this video, I do a side-by-side comparison of the new Ooni Koda 2 Pro and the older generation Koda 16. Ooni provided me with a couple of media units in order to make this review possible.

The Koda 2 Pro has a 25% larger cooking surface, a 33% thicker pizza stone, and weighs about 20 pounds more than the Koda 16. The Koda 2 Pro also has a larger opening than the Koda 16—over 5 inches of height if you remove the glass, which gives you extra room for making steaks or other foods that require a pan.

Aside from the size difference, there’s another really important difference between these ovens: the burners. The Koda 16 has an L-shaped burner while the Koda 2 Pro has burners on both sides. The dual burners really put out a lot of heat, as I soon found out during my pizza cooking tests.

I started out by making giant 18” pies using my 62% hydration New York dough. I used an 18” screen because I didn’t have a peel that large available. I was very happy with the results but would probably turn up the heat closer to 700 degrees next time. Still, I was able to get more even browning with the Koda 2 Pro than I got with the Koda 16.

Next up, I tested making Neapolitan pizzas using a 65% hydration Poolish. This time, I wasn’t so happy with the results because I had the flame up too high and launched the pizza too far back into the oven. Although the bottom was perfect, the top was too dark. So a few days later, I made more Neapolitan pizzas and got better results. I figured out that keeping the pizza closer to the front of the oven worked out better. I also reduced the flame to just over halfway up. I made a really amazing cheese and maitake Neapolitan pizza in almost exactly 90 seconds.

My conclusion? The Koda 2 Pro has an improved dual burner design with more than enough power for any style of pizza. The Koda 2 Pro is heavier and takes longer to preheat than the Koda 16 (about 35 minutes), but it’s an upgrade by every other measure. It’s my new favorite Ooni oven.
