What the specs mean for cooking
The Ooni Koda 2 Max reaches 950°F on the stone — the same Neapolitan-clearing temperature as every other Koda 2 variant. The defining spec on the Max is the 24-inch stone: that's the largest cooking surface Ooni offers in any gas oven, and it changes what the oven can do rather than just how big the pie can be.
At 24 inches you can cook one 20-inch NY-style pie with margin for the launch and turn — every other oven in the Koda line tops out short of that. Or you can run three 10-inch Neapolitans simultaneously, which is the throughput case the Max is sized for: a single oven feeding 8–15 people without staggered batches.
Fuel is gas-only. The Karu line is where Ooni puts wood and charcoal; the Koda Max line stays committed to the gas-only convenience case at entertaining scale.
At 95 lbs, this is a permanent-install oven. Dimensions of 28x31x17" mean it lives on a Modular Table or a custom outdoor-kitchen counter year-round, covered when not in use. Plan the location before purchase — repositioning takes two people and is not a casual move.
Best fit for
- 20-inch New-York-style pies (only Koda variant that fits one)
- Multi-pie throughput — three 10-inch pizzas simultaneously
- Hosting 8-15 people regularly without batch staggering
- Permanent backyard or outdoor-kitchen install
- Neapolitan pizzas at family or party scale
- Gas convenience without sacrificing entertaining size
- Buyers who want one oven that handles the largest pie size in the category

Where this oven fits the buying decision
If you're cross-shopping the Ooni Koda 2 Max against the Gozney Dome (Gen 2), the deciding factors are fuel flexibility, weight, and price. The Dome adds wood-fire capability and a slightly smaller (23.8 inch) stone for $1,000 more and 41 lbs more weight. The Max stays gas-only at 95 lbs and $1,299. If you're cross-shopping against the smaller Koda 2 Pro, the question is whether the extra 6 inches of stone (and the 29-lb extra weight) is worth $500 — usually only true for buyers who genuinely want one-pie 20-inch NY-style cooks. Run the Pizza Throughput Calculator for your real party size before deciding.
FAQ
Is the Ooni Koda 2 Max portable?
No — at 95 lbs and 28x31x17", the Koda 2 Max is a permanent-install oven. Plan a fixed home for it before purchase.
What size pizza can it actually cook?
Per Ooni's product page, the 24x21-inch cooking area accommodates a 20-inch New-York-style pie or up to three 10-inch pizzas at the same time. That's the throughput spec the Max is sized for — multi-pie cooks without staggering batches.
Can it make true Neapolitan pizza?
Yes — the 950°F max temp clears the practical Neapolitan threshold. At this scale you're typically running 2-3 Neapolitan pies at once rather than chasing peak heat on a single pie.
Can it run on natural gas?
Ooni offers a natural-gas conversion kit; check the current Koda 2 Max product page for the model-specific kit. Buyers with a permanent outdoor-kitchen gas line typically use this rather than the 20-lb propane tank.
What does it cost to run per session?
Gas runs about $2-5 per session on a 20-lb propane tank — the larger stone and longer preheat burn through propane faster than the smaller Koda variants.
