The consistent and rapid cook time really impressed me, and even on electric mode, the stone helped deliver that authentic oven-baked flavor. Super happy with my purchase."

"After comparing it to my friends’ Ooni ovens, I’m so glad I chose the Bighorn. The build is solid stainless steel, it travels easily, and the wood-fired taste is unbeatable. Customer service went above and beyond when I cracked my stone, sending a free replacement right away. Highly recommend for anyone wanting fast, delicious pizza and great support."

"This pizza oven has made outdoor cooking so much more enjoyable for me. It gets extremely hot for perfect crispy crusts, is well-constructed, and is a great value for a first oven.

"We were hesitant about buying a pizza oven, but the Ninja convinced us. It bakes fantastic pizza and sourdough outside without heating up the house, and the quick cook time means our whole family gets fed fast. The kids love trying different toppings, and I appreciate not having to babysit a fire or turn pizzas. For us, this oven does it all—pizza, bread, even stuffed zucchini!"

"As a true pizza lover, I've tried everything from store-bought to restaurant pies, but the Ooni Koda 12 has completely changed my homemade pizza game. It heats up fast, delivers that amazing wood-fired taste, and is super easy to use—even for beginners. Plus, its portable design means I can take pizza parties anywhere. While it's a bit of an investment and only for outdoor use, the results are unbeatable, and it's totally worth it for pizza enthusiasts."

"After using my Ooni Koda 12 for months and making dozens of pizzas, I can say it’s well-built, truly portable, and with some practice, it produces fantastic Neapolitan-style pies.

That level of support really earns my loyalty!"

"I was a bit unsure about the 12-inch size at first, but it’s perfect for my needs—quick to preheat, maintains consistent temperature, and so much fun to use.

"For our outdoor kitchen, this oven looks fantastic and having three racks is a bonus. Though it takes a bit of time to heat up—about 20 minutes to reach 300 degrees—it still makes pizza nights a lot of fun. I did notice the heat isn't perfectly even across all racks, but it’s easy enough to rotate the food."

"I wanted a large, mobile natural gas oven for my patio and this was the only one that checked all the boxes. Assembly was straightforward and my first pizza came out pretty good. The only thing I noticed is it takes a while to reach higher temperatures, and I’m keeping an eye on the stainless steel quality, but so far, I’m happy with the purchase!"

"I've been using this pizza oven for a while now, and the pizzas just keep getting better every time. I love how quickly it gets hot—over 550°F in no time—and with a little practice, I've figured out the best way to get that perfect crispy crust. Adding a scoop of pellets to reignite the flame gives me those beautiful char marks. Honestly, making pizza with this oven has become a really enjoyable hobby for me, and I even freeze dough for future pies. Trial and error definitely pays off, and pizza night is now a big hit at my house!"

"I took a chance on the Bighorn instead of an Ooni, and honestly, it’s outperformed my friends’ ovens by a mile. The wood-fired taste is incredible, and I’m impressed by how sturdy the stainless steel construction is. It’s super portable—I bring it camping and to the lake all the time.

The oven is well-built, and I love that it’s good for more than just pizza—I’ve even tried steak in it! For the price, you can’t beat it."

"I’m really impressed by how sturdy and easy to use this stainless steel pizza oven is. It heats up fast and holds heat well, letting me bake four 14-inch pizzas in just half an hour. The accessories are top-notch, and the cover is a nice bonus. The only minor hiccup was the instructions, which could use some clarifying, but overall, I’m very satisfied."

"After a lot of research, I chose this wood fire-only oven for bigger Neapolitan pies. It’s exactly what I wanted—solid, straightforward, and more versatile than just pizza. Setup was simple, and it arrived well packaged. If you’re serious about outdoor cooking, this oven is the real deal."

"I bought this pizza oven as a surprise for my husband, who’s a total pizza enthusiast, and it was a huge hit. The sleek design and durable construction stood out right away, and it was super easy to assemble. Our first pizza turned out with a crisp crust and perfect smokiness. My husband’s gotten creative with different doughs and toppings, and now pizza nights are a highlight for our family and friends. If you want to take your homemade pizza to the next level, this oven is a game-changer."

"I recently tried this pellet pizza oven in hopes it would be more convenient, but I found managing the fire and heat consistency tricky. The oven itself is well made and portable, but keeping the temperature steady was tough for me as a beginner. If I had to choose again, I might go with a gas option instead, though I can see how experienced users would appreciate this model’s performance."

"The Ooni Karu 12 blew me away with its quick preheat and ability to reach authentic Neapolitan pizza temperatures. Once I figured out the timing and rotation, I was cranking out pizzas with crisp crusts and amazing flavor. The build is so solid yet portable, perfect for both my backyard and trips. For any pizza lover, this oven is a total game-changer."

"Assembling my Ooni Pizza Oven was a breeze, making the whole process enjoyable from the start. The oven heats up in about 15 minutes and then cooks pizzas in under a minute—a real time-saver on busy nights. Every batch comes out with a crispy, perfectly charred crust and the toppings always taste fantastic. I'm thrilled with how easy it is to use and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to upgrade their homemade pizza experience."

"I love how versatile the Ooni Karu 12 is, allowing me to use wood, charcoal, or even switch to gas. It gets incredibly hot fast, so I can make restaurant-quality pizza in about 60 seconds. The oven is lightweight and easy to move around, and cleaning up is no hassle. For anyone passionate about pizza, it's absolutely worth every penny."

"I couldn't be happier with my decision to buy this pizza oven. The wood-fired feature really enhances the flavor and the oven comes with everything you need, from a pizza stone to a grill rack. It was easy to set up and looks amazing on my patio. The included waterproof cover is a thoughtful addition, keeping my oven in great condition. It's become the highlight of my outdoor gatherings and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves wood-fired cooking."

"This oven is a great value for the price. Although there was a small dent on delivery, it was barely noticeable. It heats up fast and fits two personal pizzas easily. The included cover is a nice touch. The stone gets really hot, so we might add another to prevent burning, but overall, it works very well and is much larger than other options."

"I've made around 60 pizzas since I got this oven and every single one has turned out fantastic. I only use the propane burner, which is efficient and doesn’t use much gas. If you let it heat up slowly, there's no issue with cracking the stone. Assembly was a bit challenging but totally worth it for the price. I recommend investing in a wood peel and using semolina for best results."
