Karu 2

The Ooni Karu 2 can cook a Neapolitan-style pizza in just 60 seconds. The oven temperature can be controlled so you can cook any pizza style, from New York to Detroit and beyond.

Every single Ooni employee makes a pizza from scratch on their first day in the office when they join us. And let me tell you - there are some pretty epic tasting day 1 pizzas.  Using an Ooni oven has a short learning curve - but you will be amazed by how fast you are cranking out incredible pizzas.

What more - we're so confident you're going to love it that we offer a 60-day worry-free Great Pizza Guarantee - that we will buy it back if you are not satisfied.

Switching fuel sources on the Karu 2 takes less than a minute. Using the included torx-head allen key, simply remove the solid fuel tray from inside the oven, along with the two screws holding the draft defender plate to the rear of the oven. Insert the gas burner into the oven and replace the same two screws. And that’s it. Safely connect to your gas bottle and you’re ready to ignite. The manual includes the full step-by-step safe instructions.

Yes, weighing just under 16 kg (about the same as a case of 24 beers), the Ooni Karu 2 has been designed to be super portable. For ease of transport, we would recommend the Carry Cover for Karu 2.

To keep your oven good for years to come, and keep your pizza stone dry for consistent performance, keep it protected from the elements by using the Carry Cover for Karu 2.  Alternatively, we recommend storing your Karu 2 in a dry place / indoors when not in use.

No. Out of the box, Ooni Karu 2 is ready to get fired-up using wood or charcoal. The Gas Burner for Karu 2 can be purchased separately.

The Karu 2 doesn’t include accessories. At Ooni we have a wide range of accessories that can be custom selected to suit different preferences.

If this is your first Ooni, take advantage of our bundles above to get all the essentials you'll need for making great pizza. Our recommended must-haves are to make sure you get: your Fuel, a Carry Cover for Karu 2 to protect it, a Digital Infrared Thermometer  (to check the stone temperature to know when it's ready to cook), and at least one 12" Pizza Peel. 

We stand by our products. All Ooni products come with a 1-year warranty as standard, and we’ll extend that to a 5-year warranty on our Ooni Karu 2 outdoor oven when you register your pizza oven with Ooni. Your Ooni pizza oven must be registered within 60 days of receipt in order to claim the 5-year warranty.

The Karu 2 is a second generation oven that’s compact and portable, but also gives you more space inside compared to the Karu 12. The Karu 2 includes a borosilicate glass door that retains more heat and lets you watch the cooking happen. It also comes with ClearView™ technology to reduce sooty buildup on its surface. 

With Karu 12 vs Karu 2, both ovens offer flexible fuel options. But Karu 2 has a wider, 45% bigger solid fuel tray for a more even flame. For gas cooking, Karu 2’s gas burner attachment burns 36% more efficiently than the Karu 12.

When it comes to Karu 2 vs Karu 2 Pro, the big difference is the size. Karu 2 is compact and portable, while still letting you cook pizzas up to 12”. With a 17” cooking surface and internal height of 5.7”, Karu 2 Pro is more spacious – so you can comfortably cook anything from 16” pizzas to a whole roast chicken.

The Karu 2 comes with a useful built-in analogue thermometer. Karu 2 Pro lets you cook smarter thanks to the Ooni Connect™ Digital Temperature Hub. This uses Bluetooth to give you real-time ambient temperature and food probe readings direct to your phone.
