Beautiful review unboxing and cooking video!!!! I've been waiting for a large enough and well designed oven to come out!!! this is what I could actually use!! thank u !!!

[@elcajoia619]

I WANT ONE! Very well done video review, basic and to the point. I have been watching about every review possible on all the ovens out there for the last few weeks, your video just about locked up my final decision on what unit I will buy, thanks again.

[@homemadeneapolitanpizza1300]

ElCajoia glad I’ve managed to help your decision! If you do decide to buy an ooni oven, please go through my link in the description box of this video as it tell ooni that my videos are working and it helps support the channel! Cheers!

[@akj9988]

Man, I loved every minute of your video. Got in the game myself about a year ago with an ooni pro. This koda 16 already seems like a better option.

[@timbunt8092]

What is better about the Koda than then Pro? The Propane vs pellet? or is it a size issue? I’m investigating which one to get.

[@mechmat12345]

@@timbunt8092 Main advantage is price if you want to use gas, Pro is $100 more to start plus you have to buy an add on gas attachment. I've read most people who buy the pro and then get the gas attachment end up using gas all the time after that anyway. Koda 16 also has an L shaped burner which should give better real time control when cooking pizza. Pro is more versatile with different fuel options and a door to hold in heat. I don't believe you can use pellets in the Pro, just wood, charcoal, or gas (with attachment). The Fyra and older models use pellets.

[@jamespayter6948]

Lovely looking pie mate. I bought a Roccbox about 3 months before this came out. No regrets, but I do envy the extra size on this Koda. I also used to go 65%, but have settled on 62% these days - in my opinion it gives the dough a nicer bite.

[@mariojalbert1288]

That burner gives more heat distribution for better pizza and crispier results. You can also use 7-15kg butane cylinders by changing the regulator to a readily available 28mbar butane one. Butane burns hotter and heats up quicker .

Hello, do you think the koda 16 could be carried easily? I'd like to take my oven to my parents or friends house to use it, but I don't know how practical it is compared to the koda 12. Thanks for your answer

[@carpicabeckers6029]

I'm from Salerno , near Naples. Your pizza looks good ( you surely made a good dough ) but maybe you have to manage a lil better the oven because it looks a lil bit "avvampat" as we say here, that means too near to the fire, so not uniformly cooked. I can say that by looking at the caramelization on the mozzarella and by looking at the underside of the pizza, not charred enough. But you know, I understand it's a new oven and you have to know it better! For the rest, incredible job!

Hey dude, i am thinking of getting Ooni for a while now and would be most interested to see the difference between same dough being done in kitchen oven and Ooni cant find anything like that compare online. Maybe an idea for next video?:)

[@elduderino1984]

With bigger pizzas in the normal koda which gets the crust burned you mean bigger than 12 inch? Have to decide if I get a kids or koda 16 but price and mobility without a car leads to the normal koda. Is it possible to use a turning peel in the normal koda? Saw a lot of videos where the dough seems not cooked enough in the front for using a turning peel.

[@homemadeneapolitanpizza1300]

Zebra hey! Yea, I was probably making the biggest pizzas I could in the standard ooni Koda which means it’s easier to burn the crusts at the back, but less so if I just stuck to, say, 9-10” pizzas. Which is still a nice size. Original Koda is definitely better for portability. I did get success from using a turning peel in the smaller Koda, there’s a little bit of a knack to it though. You get the hang of it fairly quick.

[@arobertson8137]

[@homemadeneapolitanpizza1300]

Not on this oven, I just leave the flame on full, however when I started out using the smaller Koda 12, I would turn the flame down a bit after I launched my pizza to slow down the cook and give me some time.

Your simple cheese tomato sauce pizza with thick edges and a thin plate crust took 1:40 seconds/very fast. I would guess that a deluxe made pizza w/the works may take around 2 minutes.

[@troyajohnson26]

I want the 16, but my gf says it's too large and that the 12" one is fine. Will the 12" work well or do you think it's better to just get the larger one?

[@homemadeneapolitanpizza1300]

The Koda 12 is a fine machine! But it’s limited to smaller personal sized pizzas - you can manage 12” but not at the beginning as it’s easy to burn the crusts. 9-10 inch is perfect to start with because of the cooking size and the flame being so fierce. The Koda 16 is great too, much more cooking space, L shaped burner makes it easier and I usually make 12-14” sized pizzas. Much less portable though as it is bigger and heavier. Both have their pros and cons. In truth, I only really use my koda 16 now.

[@mababr1977]

How long do you have to wait between two pizzas to rebuild the heat? Or is it possible to bake multiple pizzas one directly after the other?

[@homemadeneapolitanpizza1300]

I generally cook one then stretch and cook the other, so i've not really timed it but i've given it a chance to recharge - although the stone is pretty thick. I do know of a commercial pizzeria doing events with a Koda 16 and they seem to bash out pizzas one after the other. PizzaBGoode i think is what they're called.

[@mickeyflanagan4019]

Is it possible to cook a pizza without having the burn marks on the crust? I understand that these are kind of the point of these ovens but, I have a few people that would like theirs without them. Is it just finding the right temp or moving the pizza enough or is it just impossible?

[@homemadeneapolitanpizza1300]

There is a technique for cooking an American style crispy pizza, and it’s essentially letting the oven get to full temperature, launching the pizza in and completely turning the flame off. Leave it for a few mins, turn it a couple times and perhaps reignite on the lowest setting. Instead of a 90 second cook, it takes about 4-5 mins, but produces that style of pizza. Hope that makes sense. I think ooni may have created a video demonstrating this 😁

[@maxclark1216]

Interesting if you find you need to turn it less in future due to the l shape flame. Once you have spent more time using it would you recommend the price increase over the standard koda for the extra space

[@homemadeneapolitanpizza1300]

Max Clark the L shape burner does make the cook nicer, in the original Koda the flame and head it so concentrated at the back, and needed a good few turns where as this didn’t. The extra space makes the cook a lot easier. I found with the original Koda when I made a big pizza that fit the stone fully (probably stretching the capacity of the oven) the back crusts could burn easy. The Koda 16 size allows the pizza to be further from the flame, and you get good visuals with the bigger front to see how it’s cooking. Really happy with it, I’ll be making a good few videos with this oven to see its full potential!

[@davidroadrunner1980]

looks brilliant, and i bet it tastes brilliant too! Did you use the oven indoors or outdoors?

[@homemadeneapolitanpizza1300]
