What the specs mean for cooking
The Ooni Koda 2 Pro reaches 950°F on the stone, which puts it comfortably in true Neapolitan territory — the 850-900°F threshold is the practical floor for the puffed cornicione that defines the style. The 18-inch stone is the spec that defines the Pro variant: it's a step up from the 14-inch Koda 2 and a half-inch up from the 17-inch Karu 2 Pro, putting it firmly in NY-style 16-inch territory with margin for the launch and turn.
Fuel is gas-only on the Pro — propane convenience without a wood-burner accessory option in this line. Cooks who want wood-fire flavour cross-shop the Karu 2 Pro at the same 17-inch class.
The Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub is the headline 2024-spec addition: it ships included with the Pro (rather than as the $79 standalone accessory it is for the rest of the Koda range), giving you stone temperature on the Ooni app instead of an IR-gun guess. For longer cooks where stone temperature drift matters more than peak flame, the Hub is the part that earns the Pro suffix.
At 66 lbs, this oven is a fixed-patio unit rather than a portable. Dimensions of 26.85x25.67x15.47" mean it needs a dedicated bench, table, or Ooni Modular Table to live on.
Best fit for
- Neapolitan pizzas (max temp covers it)
- New York-style 16-inch pies (18-inch stone fits with launch/turn margin)
- Detroit-style pizzas (max temp covers it)
- Patio entertaining, occasional-to-rare moves
- Weeknight gas convenience without sacrificing entertaining size
- Cooks who want stone-temperature data via the Ooni app
- Buyers stepping up from a 12–14 inch portable to a fixed entertaining oven

Where this oven fits the buying decision
If you're cross-shopping the Ooni Koda 2 Pro against the Ooni Karu 2 Pro (17") or the Gozney Arc XL, the deciding factors are usually fuel flexibility, stone size, and brand ecosystem — in that order. The Karu 2 Pro adds wood and charcoal at $50 more and a 1-inch smaller stone; the Arc XL stays gas-only with a 16-inch stone at $200 more in the Gozney ecosystem. Run the Pizza Throughput Calculator for your target party size, and the Neapolitan Fit Checker to confirm 18 inches is the dough size you actually want to make week to week.
FAQ
Is the Ooni Koda 2 Pro portable?
No — at 66 lbs and 26.85x25.67x15.47", the Koda 2 Pro is a fixed-patio unit. It will move in a vehicle for a holiday house relocation, but it's not a take-anywhere oven. The portable Koda in the line is the original 12-inch model.
Can it make true Neapolitan pizza?
Yes — the 950°F max temp clears the practical Neapolitan threshold. Pair the oven with cordierite-stone-ready dough at 60-65% hydration and 60-90 second cook times. The 18-inch stone gives you more launch and turn margin than smaller Koda variants.
What is the Ooni Connect Hub?
Per Ooni's product page, the Koda 2 Pro ships with the Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub included. It pairs with the Ooni app over Bluetooth for live stone-temperature data — useful for longer NY-style or pan-style cooks where you're managing recovery between pies rather than chasing peak temperature.
Can it run on natural gas?
Yes — Ooni offers a natural-gas conversion kit for the Koda 2 Pro. Buyers with a permanent outdoor-kitchen gas line use this rather than the 20-lb propane tank.
What does it cost to run per session?
Gas runs about $1-3 per session on a 20-lb propane tank, depending on session length and ambient temperature. The 18-inch stone burns roughly 30-40% more gas than a 12-inch Koda for an equivalent preheat.
