How to read a Showdown Score™
The only score that counts how often a product breaks, not just how owners feel about it.
- Three parts add up to the score: what owners rate it, how often it fails them, and whether a credentialed tester backed it.
- Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
- Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.

“Overall this is a nice pizza oven. I only put 4 stars because sometimes the oven won’t stay lit after multiple tries.”— G.N, Amazon · Verified owner
Pro review “If you’re looking for a gas pizza oven to keep at home, you can’t beat the Koda 2 Pro for its consistent results, straightforward heat control, and versatile size.”— Mary Claire Lagroue, Food & Wine

Record
- — Audit read: Ooni's own page 4.5 across 534 at $799; Amazon 4.5 across 39 at $798.95, sold by Ooni USA. Preheat corrected: Ooni claims 20 minutes, and the one tester who timed this oven to full stone heat took about 35. A new complaint joined the two safety reports: the flame going out after lighting, in two of the newest Amazon reviews.
- — The card's owner rating now shows Ooni's own 4.5 across 524 alone; it had been blending in an 18-rating Amazon read and showing 542.
- — Warranty read verbatim off ooni.com: one year standard, five if registered within 60 days, across the whole Koda line. Same conditional structure as Gozney's, which makes registration the real differentiator in this category rather than the term.
- — Held a fire report rather than publish it. One owner reports the oven catching fire on first use and needing an extinguisher, and says neither Ooni nor Amazon honoured a refund or replacement. A single account is not a pattern and it is too serious to print as one, so it is recorded with a trigger to re-open if a second appears.
- — Kept Ooni's own brand-page rating as the primary — 4.5 across 356 — with the Amazon figure of 4.5 across 18 as corroboration. That inverts our usual independent-over-brand preference, and it is deliberate: the two agree on the average and the brand base is twenty times deeper. The card labels which is which.

✓ Safety: no active recall — Gas appliance — use outdoors only, keep clearance from walls/overhangs, and shut off the propane at the tank after cooking. No CPSC recall for any Ooni product (recall API checked 2026-11-02, RecallTitle, ProductName and Manufacturer queries, with a Wybotics control returning recall 26372 the same sitting). Owner reports, not a recall: two of the three written critical reviews on its Amazon listing (39 ratings, read 2026-11-01) are safety reports — a verified buyer whose oven 'caught on fire the very first time I used it' and needed an extinguisher (September 2025), and an unverified buyer reporting burns, blaming 'little or no insulation' (September 2026).
