5 Alternatives to the Ooni Karu 12 (Including 2 That Are Better)

Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Fired Outdoor Pizza Oven – Priced the same as the Karu 12 at £299.00, the Fyra is a fantastic choice for wood-fired pizza lovers. It uses hardwood pellets, making it more efficient and easier to manage than traditional logs. While it doesn't offer the versatility of gas, its compact size and lightweight design make it perfect for those with limited worktop space. If you prefer a pure wood-fired experience, the Fyra is an excellent alternative.

KLAIF Electric Pizza Oven Indoor – At just £72.99, this electric option is a budget-friendly choice for those who want to make pizzas quickly at home. With a ceramic stone and a maximum temperature of 420°C, it can cook a 12-inch pizza in about 4 minutes. While it lacks the authentic wood-fired flavour, it’s perfect for indoor use and doesn’t require any fuel sourcing. Ideal for those who want convenience over authenticity.

Kwasyo 8 Tray Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator – Priced at £139.97, this dehydrator isn't a direct pizza oven alternative but offers versatility for outdoor cooking enthusiasts. If you're interested in making your own pizza toppings like jerky or dried vegetables, this dehydrator can complement your outdoor cooking setup. However, if your primary goal is pizza, this may not be the best fit. Choose this if you're looking to expand your culinary repertoire beyond just pizza.

Ooni Koda 2 Gas Pizza Oven – For £399.00, the Koda 2 is a gas-powered option that can cook pizzas in just 60 seconds. It offers a larger cooking surface than the Karu 12, accommodating 14-inch pizzas. Its ease of use and quick heat-up time make it a great choice for those who want to skip the hassle of wood. If you prefer gas over wood and want to cook larger pizzas, this is a worthy investment.

Ninja Artisan Electric Outdoor Pizza Oven & Air Fryer – At £223.99, this multifunctional appliance combines an outdoor pizza oven with air frying capabilities. It includes a 12-inch pizza stone and can reach temperatures suitable for pizza cooking. With five different pizza settings, it offers versatility that the Karu 12 doesn't. If you want a multi-use appliance that can handle more than just pizza, the Ninja Artisan is a fantastic choice.
