Pizza night might just be my familys most important tradition.

Enter the Ooni Koda 2 Max.

In other words, its capable of firing off large-scale or multiple pies at once.

Read my full Ooni Koda 2 Max review to find out why.

Two included pizza stones sit side-by-side to create a 24-inch cooking space.

With the extra space, I look at the Ooni Koda 2 Max more like a built-in pizza oven.

What I also appreciate about the Ooni Koda 2 Max is that it heats up quickly.

With the large opening, wind could impact the preheating process.

If I havent already made it clear, pizza is a priority in my house.

After launching my pizza, I dont take my eyes off it.

This thing cooks piesfast.

I also use my pizza ovens to cook more than just pizza.

Ill preheat acast iron panand throw some chopped veggies inside, and in 2-3 minutes theyre delectable.

Ive also been known to sous vide steaks and finish them with a sear in my pizza oven.

Yes, Im getting hungry just writing about it.

Having the table/station is pretty much non-negotiable, unless you happen to have a massive outdoor counter already.

If youre comfortable with a semi-permanent pizza station, this shouldnt be a problem.

Id suggest something like the newGozney Tread, a $499 unit dubbed the worlds most portable pizza oven.

Priced at $1,199, the Koda 2 Max is the most expensive Ooni oven to date.

Youll be in for more than the upfront oven, cost though, too.

Operating a pizzeria out of your backyard doesnt need to be especially expensive.

Electric pizza ovens are also catching on withNinja launching the Artisan Outdoor Pizza Oven for just $279.

Go for something like theOoni Koda 16instead if youre just getting introduced to outdoor pizza ovens.
