Ninja's Woodfire Outdoor Oven and Ooni's Koda ovens both make pizza in the backyard, but they work differently. The Ninja is electric, reaches 370°C, adds smoke from wood pellets, and also roasts, bakes and smokes. Ooni's Koda 12 and Koda 2 are gas pizza ovens that reach 500°C. At the stores linked here the Ninja costs less than either Ooni.

Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Oven
The Woodfire runs on a 1,760W element from a power point, and burns about half a cup of wood pellets for smoke flavour. Along with 30cm pizzas it roasts, bakes, smokes and dehydrates, with room for a 5.4kg turkey, and it comes with a pizza stone, a peel and a roasting rack. It is weather resistant and weighs 14.7kg. Bing Lee sells it for about $50 less than The Good Guys.
Its 370°C top is 130°C below the Ooni ovens', and it needs a power point outdoors.
What We Like:
- Roasts and smokes as well
- No gas bottle
- 2-year warranty
What We Don't Like:
- 370°C top temperature
Ooni Koda 12
The Koda 12 is Ooni's smallest gas oven: 9.2kg, a 12-inch pizza on a 10mm cordierite stone, and 500°C, which Ooni says it reaches in about 15 minutes. It runs on a standard LPG bottle, and Ooni's warranty is one year, or five if the oven is registered within 60 days.
It cooks pizza only, and its stone is the thinnest of the three.
What We Like:
- 500°C
- 9.2kg
- 15-minute heat-up
What We Don't Like:
- 10mm stone
Ooni Koda 2
The Koda 2 takes a 14-inch pizza on a 15mm stone and reaches 500°C, and Ooni says it's ready to cook at 400°C in about 20 minutes. It weighs 16kg. Amazon ships it from its Australian warehouse for Ooni, and it has the same warranty terms as the Koda 12.
It costs the most of the three and, like the Koda 12, cooks pizza only.
What We Like:
- 14in pizzas
- 15mm stone
- Shipped by Amazon
What We Don't Like:
- Pizza only
Ooni's electric oven
Ooni also makes an electric pizza oven, the Volt 2, but Ooni says it's for indoor use only, and its Australian store listed it as sold out on 28 September.
What actually differs
Heat. The Ooni ovens reach 500°C and the Ninja 370°C. A hotter oven and stone cook a pizza faster.
Power. The Ninja plugs into a power point and needs no gas bottle; the Kodas run on LPG.
What else they cook. The Ninja roasts, bakes, smokes and dehydrates. The Kodas are pizza ovens.
Size. The Koda 2 takes a 14-inch pizza; the Ninja and the Koda 12 take 12-inch pizzas.
Which suits which cook
The Ninja Woodfire suits a household that wants one outdoor appliance for pizza, roasts and smoking, and a power point instead of a gas bottle.
The Koda 12 suits pizza nights and trips away, at 9.2kg.
The Koda 2 suits 14-inch pizzas at home.
FAQs
