Gozney and Ooni both make gas pizza ovens that reach 500°C and take 12-inch or 14-inch pizzas, and both extend the warranty from one year to five if the oven is registered within 60 days. At each size, Gozney's oven has the thicker stone and weighs more, and Ooni's costs less: the 14-inch Koda 2 is about $450 cheaper than the 14-inch Arc.

Specs are from Gozney's and Ooni's Australian stores, checked on 28 September 2026. Gozney's Roccbox and Tread and Ooni's Koda 16 were sold out that day.
Gozney Arc
The Arc is Gozney's 14-inch gas oven, with a 20mm cordierite stone, a top temperature of 500°C and an outside size of 480 by 564mm. Its stone is the thickest of the four ovens in the table, and Gozney's product page gives one year of warranty, or five if the oven is registered within 60 days.
At 21.5kg it is also the heaviest of those four, and it costs about $450 more than the Koda 2.
What We Like:
- 20mm stone
- 14in pizzas
- 5-year warranty when registered
What We Don't Like:
- 21.5kg
Ooni Koda 2
The Koda 2 is Ooni's 14-inch gas oven, with a 15mm cordierite stone and a 500°C top temperature, and Ooni says it is ready to cook in about 20 minutes, at 400°C. It weighs 16kg. On Amazon it is sold by Ooni and shipped from Amazon's Australian warehouse; Ooni's own store showed it out of stock on 28 September.
Its stone is thinner than the Arc's, and Ooni's warranty is the same one year, or five when registered.
What We Like:
- 14in pizzas for less
- 16kg
- Shipped by Amazon
What We Don't Like:
- Thinner stone than the Arc
Gozney Arc Lite
The Arc Lite is Gozney's newer 12-inch gas oven, with a 12mm cordierite stone, 500°C and a weight of 12kg. It costs a little more than Ooni's Koda 12 and has a thicker stone.
It takes 12-inch pizzas only.
What We Like:
- 12kg
- 12mm stone
- Gozney's 5-year registered warranty
What We Don't Like:
- 12in pizzas only
Ooni Koda 12
The Koda 12 is the lightest oven here at 9.2kg, with a 10mm stone and a 500°C top temperature, and Ooni says it heats in about 15 minutes. It is the cheapest gas oven from either brand.
Its stone is the thinnest here, and like the Arc Lite it takes 12-inch pizzas.
What We Like:
- 9.2kg
- Cheapest here
- 15-minute heat-up
What We Don't Like:
- 10mm stone
Wood and charcoal: Gozney Dome and Ooni Karu 2
Gozney's Dome (Gen 2) burns wood, charcoal or gas, has a 30mm stone floor and takes one 16-inch or two 10-inch pizzas. It is a large oven, 826mm wide and 62kg, so it needs a permanent spot or a stand, and costs about $3,000.
What We Like:
- Wood, charcoal or gas
- 30mm stone floor
- 16in pizzas
What We Don't Like:
- 62kg, needs a base
Ooni's answer is the Karu 2, a 12-inch oven for wood or charcoal with a gas burner sold separately, at about a fifth of the Dome's price. It was out of stock at Ooni's Australian store on 28 September.
What actually differs
Stone. At each size Gozney's stone is thicker: 12mm against 10mm for 12-inch ovens, and 20mm against 15mm for 14-inch. A thicker stone holds more heat between pizzas.
Weight. Ooni's ovens are lighter at each size, which matters for an oven that goes camping or into a cupboard.
Price. Ooni is cheaper at each size, by a little at 12 inches and by about $450 at 14 inches.
Warranty. The same on both: one year as standard, five with registration within 60 days.
Where to buy. Gozney sells direct. Ooni sells direct, though its store showed the Koda 2 and Karu 2 out of stock on 28 September, and Amazon ships the Koda 2 from its Australian warehouse.
Which suits which cook
The Gozney Arc suits cooks making several 14-inch pizzas in a row, who want the thickest stone.
The Ooni Koda 2 suits the same pizzas for less money, in a lighter oven.
The Arc Lite and Koda 12 suit smaller pizzas and ovens that travel.
The Dome suits a permanent outdoor kitchen and wood-fired cooking.
FAQs
Which is better, Gozney or Ooni?
At each size, Gozney's ovens have thicker stones and weigh more, and Ooni's cost less. The warranty terms are the same.
Can these ovens be used on a Total Fire Ban day?
The gas ovens can in Victoria, under the CFA's rules for gas outdoor cookers. Wood and charcoal ovens can't: the CFA bans solid-fuel pizza ovens in the open air on those days.
What gas do they use?
Ooni lists its Koda ovens for standard LPG bottles. Gozney lists the Arc and Arc Lite as propane ovens.
