SummaryThe Ooni Koda is worth every penny.
Ooni was founded by Kristian Tapaninaho and Darina Garland, a husband-and-wife team that previously ran an education company that encouraged innovation, creativity, and problem solving within school communities. It was their passion for problem-solving that inspired them to create a gadget that solved one of their own problems.
Kristian enjoyed making pizza but was frustrated by his inability to recreate the restaurant-quality flavor he craved. He recognized the key component that was missing: high heat. Kristian then quickly discovered that the backyard wood-fired pizza ovens on the market were not only painfully expensive but bulky and difficult to use.
Kristian got to work transforming his idea into the world’s first-ever portable wood-fired pizza oven and thus Ooni was born. Kristian and Darina took the prototype and launched the first Ooni oven project on Kickstarter in November 2012. Not only did they quickly surpass their funding goal, but Ooni also caught the eyes of millions of people across the globe, resulting in swarms of supporters as well as retailer and media interest.
There are now six different Ooni pizza ovens available.
SummaryOoni was founded by a husband and wife team that wanted to create a way to make restaurant-quality pizzas at home. What began in 2012 as a project on Kickstarter quickly became one of the most popular portable pizza oven brands in the industry. There are now five different Ooni Pizza Ovens available.
Overall, the Ooni Koda is a conveniently sized, portable, gas-powered oven that consistently churns out delicious pizza. Despite its smaller size, the Koda is still great for cooking other foods with an open flame, providing a flavor that you can’t get in an ordinary oven. While on the more expensive side, the Ooni Koda has proven time and time again to be worth every penny.
Review: 4/5
Before the Ooni Koda was released, the Ooni Pro was our go-to pizza oven. The Ooni Pro transformed wood-fired cooking, so it was only a matter of time until Ooni unveiled a product that would have the same effect on the gas-fired pizza oven market. The Ooni Koda did just that. But after a full year of regular use, would the Ooni Koda be just as impressive? Here are my findings:
