Best praise vs top criticism for Ooni Koda 16
“Last august in Edinburgh at the Fringe festival I had pizza from a food-truck. They used two Ooni Koda 16” on gas. It seemed to work pretty well for them.”
“I have a baking steel pro and an Ooni Koda 16. I much prefer the steel for NY style. What I find with the steel is that it's better for even browning across the bottom of the pizza rather than mostly leopard spotting you get with an Ooni. I also think it's much easier to do multiple pizzas with a steel, or at least the thicker version that I have. The ooni has to get back up to temp after each bake. You can make great NY style on both but it takes much more practice and finesse with the Ooni. Also, if you do go the Ooni route, don't buy one without an oven door!”
