Our verdictThe Karu 12 is an established portable oven engineered to reach 950°F for authentic 60-second Neapolitan bakes. Wood firing works out of the box, though gas operation requires an optional burner add-on that raises the total investment. The internal deck allows minimal margin for error with 12-inch pies, requiring precise peel work and heat management.The Koda 16 provides an expansive baking deck that makes launching and rotating larger pies manageable compared to standard 12-inch alternatives. Its gas burner delivers consistent ambient top heat suitable for high-temperature styles, though users must allow sufficient preheat and recovery time for the floor between launches. At roughly $500, it is a dedicated outdoor investment that demands stable table space.
