Ooni Koda 16

Is The Ooni Koda 16 The Best Ooni Pizza Oven In Australia? 

The best ooni pizza oven in Australia depends on several considerations; what's best for you:  

1) Wood or Gas? Whether you like the ease of a gas pizza oven without compromising on pizza quality (see below the Ooni Koda 16 or the smaller option Ooni Koda 12.

Or, if you're thinking more about the romance of a wood-fire experience (see the Ooni Karu 16 or Ooni Fyra pizza oven models).  These are easily the best wood fire ovens by Ooni.

To consider: In Australia, are you in a bush fire area? If so, in the summer, you may be unable to use a wood-fired pizza oven so check with your local government area.  If this is the case, a gas pizza oven may suit you best.

2) Budget & Size.  Ooni has created two sizes of the Ooni Koda and Ooni Karu ranges, a 12" and a 16".  The first thought is that you can cook bigger-sized pizzas in the 16", so "do I need that size pizza oven?".  But that isn't where most users get the benefit.  If you want to read more on what size, check out our article 'Head to Head - Ooni Koda 12 Vs Ooni Koda 16'. 

Having a 16" pizza oven allows you to benefit from the distance the pizza can be placed away from the flame.  This helps with cooking the crust more evenly. 

The Pizza Oven Store's best choice Ooni Pizza Oven In Australia, is the Ooni Koda 16 even to cook 12" pizzas due to the larger cooking area and less chance of burning the crust.  The Koda 16 is also less costly than its 16" counterpart the Ooni Karu 16" for wood/charcoal (which can be upgraded to gas-powered pizza oven with the addition of the gas burner accessory.  

This is not to say the Ooni Koda 12" or Ooni Karu 12" can't cook awesome pizzas - you just have to have a little more concentration on the pizza cooking and turning for the 60-90 seconds the pizza takes to cook.
