Our take on the Ooni Karu 12

The Ooni Karu 12 is a portable multi-fuel pizza oven that runs on wood or charcoal and can take an optional gas burner. It reaches 950°F and bakes a 12-inch pizza in about 60 seconds, heating up in roughly 15 minutes. At 26.4 lb it is one of the lightest ways to get a real flame-cooked Neapolitan-style pie at home. Against pellet-only or gas-only rivals, the Karu 12 trades some convenience for fuel flexibility and a compact, carry-friendly build.

It is approachable but not push-button. Expect a few bakes to learn fire size and turning the pizza. The optional gas burner makes it easier to control.
