I’m considering Ooni since my friend can get them discounted (30%) which is significant considering how expensive these ovens are. I just can’t get use to pizzas being upwards of $30-40 in this day and age. Growing up in the 80s and 90s on $2.50 for a slice and a Coke after school were great memories.

On my dome, I stack wood on the right hand side and then light the gas burner on low. I let the stone heat up to 300C and see the wood charring. I turn up the gas to full and the wood bursts into flame. I then turn off the gas and slide the puck over the gas burner to protect it and cook with wood.

Just bought an Ooni Karu 16. It’s much less expensive and since I’ll only be using it once a week, I can’t justify paying double for the Gozney. The Karu is also smaller and since my patio is relatively small to begin with, I appreciate the space savings. Chef, I cannot tell you how much I love your videos! I’m determined to learn to make great pizza and because of you, I’m on my way. People like you who share their expertise so willingly and openly are some of the best human beings. Thank you so much.

The Ooni is also very portable.

It’s a huge difference in price, 100% more for the dome. The pizzas were pretty close in comparison. I’m sure with the same amount of practice on both, you wouldn’t notice any difference. The dome is prettier, but the Ooni is more portable. So it would probably depend on your wallet and the end use.

Well, the dome is twice the price of the Karu. I think that the Karu 16 is expensive, but the Dome is way overpriced. Yes the dome is really nice looking, but at$1800 for the dual fuel version and another $300 for the stand that’s pretty much required to hold the oven. Ooni can be bought for less than $900 with dual fuel option and you can add Ooni’ s $200 for their table. But the Ooni can fit on any outdoor table, whereas the Dome has a larger footprint and 130lbs weight, so you are probably stuck with the $300 stand. Both are pricey, but the dome is probably out of reach for most, and not in the same competition group with the Karu. Roccbox and the Karu are closer in price, and I feel the Karu 16 would easily win that comparison.

Gozney is beautiful. But the pizzas are identical between the Gozney and the Ooni. If money is no object- Gozney. If you can come up with other ideas for the extra $1500 you’ll save with the Ooni, go Ooni. I went Ooni and the Gozney became a distant memory. :) Great video Vito - THANK YOU!!!

@@TheCameltotem The karu 16 is way better than the koda. The karu 16 has about 1/2-3/4 inch (not sure) of insulation that covers the FULL length of the oven. No other ooni oven has this kind of insulation. Plus the ability to use the door on gas. The ooni pro is insulated but barely has any. Because the karu 16 is available at retail stores you can buy it at 30% off sometimes with a coupon off one item sometimes.

I've been having so much fun using the Karu 16 with wood and lump wood charcoal. I'm new to making pizza in a pizza oven and never made this type of pizza before I got this one. I've only had it a little over a month and I've been baking pizza in it over 3 weekends with temperatures barely above freezing. It heats up quickly, and by the time I prepare the second pizza, it's already ready to go. In fact, the stone gets hotter between pizzas because I add more fuel (one or two pieces of wood). We move the oven around on our deck depending on the occasion, so it's great that it is so lightweight. Very happy with this pizza oven. Thanks for sharing this comparison!

Both give great results. I have had a Gozney Roccbox for only one month and are loving it. The extra room and viewing space in these are awesome, and maybe an upgrade for me sometime in the future. Great knowing the Ooni peel is bigger and could be probably bought separately, while the Gozney are using the same size that come with the smaller Roccbox. Love you vids Vito...keep it up.

I bought the Ooni 16. I typically “pre-heat” with gas then introduce the wood. I then pull the gas burner out and then just go all wood for cooking. Has worked out so far

Thanks for this video, Vito. The Dome is prettier, but the Karu cooks just as well for half the money. I'd probably go with the Karu.

One point not mentioned - the Gozni stone is twice as thick as the Ooni's (30mm vs 15mm). In LA in the summer you might be fine with back to back cooks, but in the Northeast in the winter, the Ooni will have a much longer refractory period, so back-to-back pizzas will be a problem.

I was surprised that they were so similar in the cook. I choose the Gozney but would feel good about either. I love watching you make great authentic pizza, an I aspire to be good enough at making it that I am as proud of it as you are. Keep the great pizza coming!

I like the consistency of heat from the dome since you're not opening and closing a door everytime you turn, and the flame on the side lets you see cooking easier.. I vote Dome (I'm an Ooni owner)

I love that when he tested the outside insulation he put down his thermometer and used his hands to tell us how hot it was.

I was lucky enough to get a Dome during their first drop. Wood version only. The convenience of gas isn’t something I care for since I get great joy from learning how to maintain a fire at any temp. I can say that using Texas post oak wood gets my oven a roaring 1200F which turns it into a steakhouse broiler. It’s also gorgeous to look at! Great review!

I like the interior size and side flame of the Dome. Also, the better insulation of the Dome. The cook seemed the same on both. Thank you for the synchronized comparison!

This was a very nice "Comparation". Even before the video started I wanted to hate the Ooni and love the Gozney. But this was a tie. The Gozney looks like a traditional brick oven. Cooking with wood vs gas seems to be quite different results. I can't understand the reason but wood and gas ovens have the same temp. but in the end the pizza is slightly different.

The fact they cook identical for the most part the portability of the Ooni makes it the winner in my opinion

Hey, Vito. You as a pro with these ovens: *Please cook at least 5 pies in a row,* better 10. Only then, one can make an educated decision. Will the Ooni hold temperature in such a cook - that would be a major thing. If not, and 5-10 pies in a row are a must, then the large, expensive Gozney Dome will gain more interest. But even then, the Roccbox would be nice to see in comparison to the Dome. As far as I know, the Roccboc will cook continuously. I did cook 10+ in a row in the Roccbox, but I have had plenty of time between the pies, because I was just too slow to prepare and cook one right after the other. Granted, the dome is somewhat beautiful, but if the Roccbox delivers and gives portability, then this would be something to consider. If the Ooni will lose to much temperature after 10 pies, an the Roccbox and the Dome won't, then for those who wish to bake a bunch at once, the decision will weight between price/looks/portability, and at the very end: Propane consumption/hour or cook? It would be great, if you could weigh the propane cylinders before the 10 pie cook and after. I bet quite a few of your audience lives in countries where the powers charge quite a steep fee on the propane price itself (taxes, co2, etc). So it matters if for 1-3 pizzas I need 1 pound or two to three pounds for a cook. I just assume, that the Dome will use at least 1.5 times the gas of the Roccbox. I can however not assume how the Ooni compares. It has the cover in the front, but then the open chimney and probably a less efficient insulation, compared to the Roccbox. So the Ooni might even require more propane than the Roccbox?

There’s too much variation in technique to compare wood.

Highly relevant for me, as I am wanting to upgrade specifically to one of these two models from the Ooni Fyra 12 that I'm currently using (and enjoying), but want to upgrade to serve parties. I think the deciding factor for me is the fuel flexibility: The Dome can accommodate both gas and wood simultaneously, the Kyra 16, from what I understand, cannot. I am biased, however, in that I like the flavour that the wood imparts. I like the idea of having both fuels going simultaneously. Thank you, Vito!

I have a Karu 12. AND I LOVE IT. I've used it about a dozen times (only use wood) and pizzas turn out stellar (thanks to your poolish recipe ❤). I bought it because of the great reviews and the price point. $350. The Karu 16 is $800! I've made up to 10 pizzas in a go and it works beautifully. Do I wish it were bigger? yeah. but the smaller size is also VERY portable. 26 lbs compared to 62 lbs. The size of the pizzas are smaller, but that also isn't a problem. They're more of a 'personal' size, so everyone gets to make one with whatever toppings they want. And that's half the fun of it. And I have a Weber already to do all those other things I might want to make in a bigger oven. And the temp gauge? nice, but when my infrared thermometer works just fine, i dont need to spend an extra $450 for a thermometer upgrade.

I own a Karu 16 and with a bit of practice and adjustments to my dough recipe (and of course watching Vito's channel) I am starting to turn out some pretty good pizzas using both wood and gas. Still not at Vito's level but I am getting better. There is no question the Karu 16 is a great oven particularly considering price and transportability (cant wait to take it to my friend's house for a big pizza party...I am going to blow'm away with this oven and the pizzas). But here's the thing, ...I want both ovens! The Dome looks awesome and I suspect it is more versatile (and maybe more forgiving) given its size and construction. Just going to need to convince my wife that it's worth the price (and yard space)... No problem...just keep making pizzas for her :)

Good review Vito. I like that you joke around and don't take yourself too seriously. Can't wait to try your pizza recipe today.

Thanks for the “comparision” 😁. I was considering these exact two ovens and you made my choice to go with the Uuni Karu because at more than half the price the result was almost identical.

Thank you so much for this comparison I really was confused which one I will buy but now I decided

i will order a dome this year .although the ooni did really well in comparison i have roccbox so not bothered about portability the dome looks awesome great video 🙂

You will eventually forget what you paid for something, but the one that makes you happiest. For me, that was the Dome.

nice oven comparison. i think the gozney is moe consistent from the first pie to the second pie, BUT....The gozney is more than twice as expensive as the ooni, plus, the gozney is not currently avaliable (at least in the United States)

Gracie! Good information. Yes please use both ovens with wood. I am deciding which pizza oven to purchase.

Vito! Great comparison! Appreciate it…for the outside temperature of the ovens, why didn’t you use the laser to test the outside temp of the units?

I thought I was going to buy the ooni but the dome really looked like it was easier to use. The ooni looks more portable than the dome. I need to check out price comparisons. Thanks for great video.

I would prefer the Ooni because it’s portable. But I stick with my Weber genesis 1 Grill which cooks my pizza also in just 2, 2 1/2 minutes. Thanks for the video. Saves me a lot of money

I know its a year down the road, but was looking at the ooni just yesterday and did a search on your channel. Both make good as does my current blackstone oven. The ooni is 1/2 the cost and near identical results. However, that door would be a PIA in my opinion. The wife and I are thinking the ooni will be a good add for our RV to take a long, but IMO if the two choices are these i'd still go the dome. (i'm looking at a forno bravo for my home which is double+ on the dome...so go figgure. Thanks for what you do sir. Love your challen.

Hey Vito, great content! Could you comment on the Gozney dome compared to the Zio Ciro 80? Are the 2 even comparable or are they on different playing fields? Thank you!

Dome 👍! Need one asap! Both great options but I like the Dome a bit more; well built, better insulated. Thanks for the comparison. Ciao

I have both of these ovens. I bought the Ooni when I gave up that the Dome would come to Canada, and then it comes to Canada! I really liked the Karu but had a few observations. With Propane, I cannot get it past about 830f and the stone takes a long time, never quite reaching 800. The temp drops FAST when the door is open and cooking multiple pizzas back to back cools it down. The control at the back is terrible, especially given the depth of this unit (you're not putting it on a regular counter!). I loved the wood/propane/natural gas options, but find the gas flame is very close to the pizza so if not careful you can overcook/burn the top before the dough is ready. Turning the flame down helps, but the unit drops temp fast so you're slowed to the next pizza (not a big deal to me, I'm not trying to speed load them). The dome's opening is actually smaller! While I can make a 16" pizza in the Ooni, I cannot in the Dome. The peel would need to get into the Dome, then turn, since the flame or wood would be under a 16" peel. Again, not a big deal, but a surprise. Make a mess in the dome's floor? Turn it up for 45 minutes and you're left with white dust. Open the week chute and sweep the dust into it. That's a stellar feature, much better than the old wood oven I had! The dome stand is extremely well built, making it a very good value to me, and the height makes watching and handling the pizza much easier than the Ooni. The Ooni is deeper, so if you're a little aggressive setting the pizza in, you're fine. I hit the back of the dome the first time I used it. That wall is hot, so pizza gets stuck there (the 45 minute 'self clean' took care of it). The Ooni isn't as well insulated. I got mine in very early spring in Canada and the outside temperatures really affected it, keeping it on some days to low 700's no matter what I did. The roccbox also had this problem. I haven't had the Dome in Winter but I think it will fare better, especially with the rope door. Also, the Dome is certified for indoor use, if vented. That was a feature for me. My walk out basement is cool in the winter. I'll go down watch TV, make pizza's and enjoy the radiant heat. My wife comments on the heat coming off the dome thinking it might extend our fall evenings outside! Both are great, and while I prefer the Dome, I'm not selling the Ooni yet. Oh yeah - Dont' drop anything on the door. Cleaning it is a serious pain!

I think if money is no object then everyone would want the dome but I'm really surprised how well the ooni does! Like Vito says, pretty much the same. One big plus for the ooni is that it looks like it uses way less gas though.

I think it all comes down to if you want portable or not. I use mine to tailgate at Bears games and the Ooni is great. Could not bring the dome to a game with me. Ooni wins for my purpose. But Dome looks great if you want a permanent set up at home. I use my OOni as a wood burning and have used the gas attachment once. Wood fire is better so for in my experience.

Vito please more videos about toppings and things like what goes and what should never be mixed together. Perth Australia

For the difference in price I have to say the OONI puts up an amazing pizza. After watching this video I am glad I have one sitting in my dining room waiting to be assembled. That being said you wouldn’t believe what I just made on a pizza still in my oven. I swear it tastes like I went to a pizza shop. You guys pizza making skills are incredible!!! Subscribed.

I just ordered the Dome because it hits the sweet spot in price between the Ooni and higher end ovens from Lynx, Alfresco, Alfa,…

Vito y our videos are so detailed and easy to understand. I have a 12 in. Ooni that is wood or charcoal only and I am having trouble getting the pizza cooked right. Is it possible for you to do a video on that one. I'm sure other subscribers are using the same one for the Portability. Thanks for all the interesting and colorful videos.

The point with the Ooni is it’s portable and you can take it everywhere I have a big brick wood fire oven but I love the Ooni because it heats up in about 40 minutes and my wood fire oven takes an hour and a half to two so if I’m doing a party the big wood fire oven if I’m just doing a couple the Ooni

Hello Vito, great video!! Between the Karu and the Koda what oven would you prefer?

thank u for the pizza oven review. hope you will have sponsor and do more test and review. can you make video about different stones baking please?

My Dad has the big Ooni oven which has the burners on 2 sides. He carries it everywhere in his camper car. Ooni is so great because its so easy to carry everywhere :D

Love the video. Keep it up. I would love to see another comparison idea using wood, and also one using wood pellets. Thank you for your amazing pizza channel!

I have the old Uuni 3 with a gas attachment. I find it to be a bit of a pain having the dial on the back. The flame is the same as on the Karu, just a smaller oven and no glass door or temp gauge. I think I would go with the Dome if I had to pick from these two. It’s better looking, bigger and I like the dial being on the front. My Uuni is great to have though for camping trips and I love using it here at home too! It makes awesome pizzas but there was a learning curve. I’ve now been using it for almost 7 years though.

I have to say that I like to Ooni better because it takes up less space and is more portable. There is so little difference in the results. We have the Ooni Koda 16 at our house in Palm Springs, and we store it in our garage when we are not there, which is very easy to do. We use our Big Green Egg (with pizza stone) for making pizzas at our house in WLA, and that stays outdoors all the time. Do you leave the Dome outdoors all year/all the time? What kind of cover do you have for it? I made my own Sunbrella fabric cover for our Ooni, but it is not waterproof. However, we keep it in a covered area in our patio, and we get very little rain in Palm Springs anyway.

I just found the Dome last night after seeing the Gozney Roccbox quality but in a bigger platform. That made me search further and found the Oonie and then shortly after found you and the Dome which is really nice. For the difference in size of cooking surface, I would choose the Oonie for you have about the same outcome of quality for almost 3 times less cost. $699 for an Oonie with the ability to use wood when you choose to vs $1,999.00 for the Dome. The Dome is a beautiful oven with a few nicer features. I would prefer a glass door on the Dome for windy cold nights and more versatility in the oven however so the Oonie shines with that feature. Can't go wrong with either oven obviously!

Thank you. Love your videos

Loved the comparison, and although it takes a bit longer I’ll stay with my convection oven and pizza stone.

Hi vito...I have been watching your videos for quite some time.. Can you pls let me know the yeast you mention is active dry yeast or instant dry yeast? Pls respond...thx in advance

I ended up getting the Karu16 over thr Gozney Roccbox. Mainline l mainly because of the size. Both are quality. I used it for the first time a couple of days ago and it came out great. Still dialing in my technique. I used your poolish recipe and got rage compliments on the pizzas.

I have been watching a lot of your videos maybe to many. I find them to be extremely informative and enjoyable. The only problem I am having is now I am developing an Italian accent and I can’t stop. I speak to my wife and daughter with an Italian accent. Well anyway thank you for your videos.

Wow those pizzas looking amazingly tasty :) maybe a strombolie recipe video in the near future? Your the best vito :)

Maestro Vito, can you compare it with the Zio Ciro oven please?

Both performed very well with little difference between pizzas. However, I would like the versatility of smoking, roasting and baking, for which I believe the Dome would have the advantage. For pizza only, I would lean towards Ooni based on price and portability. For greater versatility and good looks, the Dome gets my vote. A Gozney will be in my future, and hopefully very soon. Thanks again for all of your great videos, Vito! You are now the ONLY pizza guy I watch on YT.

@@BirchWeber Yes, I purchased the Dome last fall. It is fantastic, as expected, for pizzas. I have not yet had time to experiment with anything other than pizzas as yet, however I am a big fan of rustic breads, which I'll try next. I will probably be adding an aftermarket door for that. You will not go wrong with a Dome, but just be sure it will have adequate capacity for whatever you are planning to bake in it. If you have the space and a bigger budget, consider building one with some size to it. If space wasn't a factor for me, that would have been my ultimate choice. Good luck in whatever you choose!

The Dome is definitely prettier to look at. But like many here, I will only be using this likely one evening on a weekend. So hard to justify the additional cost. If it were lower in price I'd go for the Dome. But based on my usage and budget, Karu.

While I can see why you would open the door on the Ooni to see how the temp would drop but the fact is that you can keep the door closed and close the chimney baffle to keep the heat in. No effort required. That's part of the design that comes with the oven and IMHO should be taken into account as part of the design. Ooni has other oven without glass doors and they put a door on the Karu for a reason. But great video though. Always good to see a top pizza chef making videos about the best food ever!

Please do a video of a wood fired pizza I’d like to see how you control the fire in these ovens

I have the Karu16 wood only, took me about 20 pizzas to perfect it, and I have made literaly NO pizzas before this, but now I cook perfect neopolitan style pizzas every time. Would love to see them head to head with wood option only also! I've preordered the Dome, but I'm super pleased with the Karu16 so am probably gonna cancel the Dome order. Can you do a heads up comparison with wood only? Love your videos Vito!

May I ask: how do you make the pizza with wood/charcoal only? My understanding is you start out with charcoal to get the heat up and then add wood just before you put the pizza in. I don't own one. Just contemplating getting one in the future.

@@ollieox9181 I think that's the way to do it Ollie. Charcoal burns a bit more stable.

Awesome video! Is there some options to use inside an apartment, instead of a conventional oven? Thank you

Great video!!! Maestro Iacopelli, you are also a maestro of instructional videos! I have an Ooni Karu. It's my second Ooni. I almost wore out first my 16 inch multi-fuel Uuni--yes, the old Uuni. The Karu is better engineered. The window stays clean and it easily self cleans at high temperature. If you load it with dry hardwood it goes to more than 1,000 degrees and turns everything inside to white ash. At that temperature it's also great for charring a sous vide steak! Because they were equal for Neopolitan pizza, the Ooni is the clear winner! If the Ooni were slightly less efficient it would still be better at a price that is $1,000 less. It is also luggable in an ordinary SUV. I will be taking mine on the road for our Thanksgiving family reunion. We will eat pizza on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. More pizza is eaten on the night before Thanksgiving than any other day of the year!

16:40 Master launch from Francesco. Bravo!👏

I like both. But, if I had the extra $ would very much prefer the dome! Thanks again, Vito, for yet another great video!

The OOni is the winner. The Gozny looks good, but it's almost 2 1/2 times more expensive than the Ooni. I like the door on this Oooni which would be good to bake foccacios, deep dish pizza, meats, bread etc. I also like the fact that you can use all wood, or all charcoal or a combination of both on the Ooni .It also has a gas option for propane or natural gas. The Ooni would definitely be more portable than the Gozny The only thing I would like changed on this Ooni Karu 16 is the burner control which should be put in the front like the Gozny. I currently have the Ooni Koda 16 and will be upgrading to the Oooni Karu 16, adding the gas option for propane. Ill keep the Koda 16 for a while because it's lighter than the Karu 16 and I can carry and move it myself. Thanks for a really wonderful video, as always. I would love to see you cook a typical New York style pizza with around 50- 62% hydration at around 550- 600F in both of these ovens. Being brought up in Brooklyn, N.Y. my preferred go to pizza is still the New York style I grew up with. 💕💕💜💜👍👍💜💜💕💕

Nice Video again Vito. But i got me a bricked Pizzaburner on my Terrace. I like the effort you put into your Pizzalife 🍕🤣❤👍

@20:49 Glad to see, that even a pro like Francesco can have the same issues with as me :-) Pie sticks on stone while attempting to turn, resulting in a hole. Good thing is, it does not affect the taste!

i like napolian pizza Vito, you are the god of pizza, my best. continue to inspire us with your feats .. best regards, Robero

I haven't used either of them, but I plan to buy them in the future. If the gozney was a little bigger, I would definitely buy a Gozney. If two 12-inch or 14-inch pizzas could be cooked comfortably, absolutely everyone would prefer Gozney.
