The Ooni Karu 16 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven brings professional-grade pizza making to your backyard with its versatile heating options. This innovative outdoor oven can be fueled by wood, charcoal, or an optional gas burner (sold separately), reaching blistering temperatures of 950°F (500°C) in just 15 minutes. It's designed to cook a fresh stone-baked pizza in as little as 60 seconds, offering an authentic pizzeria experience at home. Perfect for entertaining, it allows you to consistently produce perfectly crispy crusts and bubbly cheese. The oven features a large 16-inch cooking surface and a hinged oven door with a ViewFlame™ glass panel.

Why It Stands Out

This oven eliminates the compromise of soggy, undercooked homemade pizza by replicating the extreme heat of traditional wood-fired ovens. Reaching 950°F in under 15 minutes, it drastically outperforms standard home ovens which struggle to achieve temperatures above 550°F. Imagine hosting a backyard gathering where guests can enjoy custom-made, perfectly charred pizzas emerging hot and fresh every minute. Unlike bulky, permanent brick ovens, the Karu 16 is portable enough for backyard use and offers the flexibility of multiple fuel sources. It consistently receives top ratings from culinary critics and food publications like Serious Eats and Wirecutter for its performance and versatility. While an investment, its ability to deliver restaurant-quality pizza quickly and reliably offers exceptional value for pizza enthusiasts. Recurring costs include fuel (wood, charcoal, or propane) and ingredients.
