How this page was scored
Most outdoor pizza ovens reach the same top heat; what separates them is plainer. How big a pizza fits, how heavy the oven is when you carry it to the table, whether it burns wood or charcoal as well as gas, and how thick the stone is that holds the heat between pizzas.
Specs are weighted by how much they matter for a pizza oven. An alternative earns full credit for matching or beating the Ooni Koda 2 on a spec, a proportional share where it falls short, and half credit for a spec its maker does not list. Models that list too few specs to compare fairly are left off. Read the full method.
