Australia gets its own Koda 2 variant, UU-P2D300, listed on Ooni's ANZ store at A$749 and in stock on 5 November 2026. The same A$749 appeared on Amazon Australia, where Ooni Pty Ltd is the seller and the listing names a 28 mBar regulator and gas hose in the box. Ooni's page states the oven is designed for an LPG-compatible standard gas bottle only and is not suitable for natural gas connections or conversion.
Inside the box are the oven, a 15 mm cordierite stone, the regulator and hose, a matchstick lighter, a Torx key and batteries. Ooni quotes 190 to 500 °C, a 20-minute heat-up and 16 kg. What decides whether it suits you is where it can stand, the bottle beside it and how many pizzas you need in a row.
Our verdict
At A$749 the Koda 2 suits households that make pizza most weeks on an LPG bottle and want a dial rather than a wood fire; anyone wanting a mains natural-gas hookup should look elsewhere.
- A good fit for
- Backyard cooks who make pizza most weeks, can keep a metre clear around a sturdy metal or timber table, and already swap LPG bottles for the barbecue.
- We would skip it if
- Your outdoor area runs on mains natural gas, you regularly cook two pizzas at once, or you want wood or charcoal flavour as well as gas.
Reasons to consider it
- Regulator and hose for a standard LPG bottle in the box, with a A$25 replacement set on Ooni's ANZ store
- 190 to 500 °C on a 15 mm cordierite stone, with Ooni quoting 2 minutes 50 seconds of recharge between pizzas
- Cleaning is mostly heat: 45 minutes at full power, and the stone can be flipped
The compromises
- LPG only: Ooni's ANZ page rules out natural gas connections and conversion
- One pizza at a time; the larger Koda 2 Pro is A$1,099 and the Max A$1,499
- Outdoor use only, at least 1 metre from structures and combustibles, and the gas bottle is not included
What we have not verified: The installation manual linked from Ooni's ANZ page is the European edition, and no Australian edition was linked; Ooni's recharge figure also comes with no stated outdoor temperature or wind.
The things in this guide
A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
Koda 2 Gas Powered Pizza Oven, 2nd Generation, Foundry Black
A$749 from Ooni ANZ or Ooni's Amazon store, regulator and hose included, 500 °C quoted on a 15 mm stone, push-and-turn ignition, and five years of cover when registered within 60 days.
Before you buy: LPG bottle only, with no natural-gas conversion; the bottle, a peel and a thermometer are extra, and the stone takes one pizza at a time.
Price checked 5 November 2026. Retailer prices can change.Built for an LPG bottle, and nothing else
The AU variant comes ready for the bottle most barbecues already use: Ooni lists a regulator and hose in the box, and the Amazon listing specifies 28 mBar. Ooni's ANZ page is just as clear about the limit, saying the unit is designed for an LPG-compatible standard gas bottle only and is not suitable for natural gas connections or conversion. A spare regulator from Ooni ANZ costs A$25.
So a house plumbed for mains gas on the deck cannot use that line with this oven. Neither can the bigger models fix it, since the ANZ store applies the same LPG-only wording to the Koda 2 Pro and Max. Budget for an LPG bottle of your own; Ooni does not supply one.
500 °C is the claim; 2 minutes 50 seconds is the rhythm
Ooni quotes 190 to 500 °C, a 20-minute heat-up and a Neapolitan-style pizza in about 60 seconds. Its comparison table adds a recharge time of 2 minutes 50 seconds between pizzas, without saying at what outdoor temperature. Treat both as the maker's numbers, not measurements of your own backyard on a windy night.
The manual strongly recommends an infrared thermometer, because the stone heats more slowly than the air inside. With a 15 mm stone sized for one pizza, dinner for four is four bakes in sequence, so the recharge time matters more than the top temperature.
A metre of clearance and a table that is not plastic
The manual allows outdoor use only, at least 1 metre from any structure or combustible material, with the oven's mouth facing away from the wind and never in stormy weather. It needs a sturdy metal or timber surface; plastic and glass tables are ruled out. Ooni's folding table costs A$329 if your outdoor bench does not qualify.
Each time you connect the hose or swap a bottle, the manual asks for a soap-solution leak test, never a flame. Ignition is push and turn on the dial, held for 5 seconds once lit; after two failed tries you wait 5 minutes and use the matchstick holder under the oven. At 16 kg with folding legs it travels easily, but do not lift it with the stone inside.
Season once, clean with heat, register within 60 days
Before the first pizza the manual runs the oven at full heat for 30 minutes. After that the stone mostly cleans itself: 45 minutes at full power with nothing inside turns residue to ash, which you brush off once cool. Keep water and soap off the stone, and never pour water on it hot, since that can crack it; flipping the double-sided stone burns off what sticks underneath.
Ooni's standard cover is one year, and Ooni's own Amazon store and the ANZ site both point to five years once the oven is registered within 60 days of purchase. The Amazon listing itself names the Ooni 5 Year Warranty among the included components. A carry cover is A$80 and the short brush A$60.
What A$649, A$1,099 and A$1,499 buy instead
The Karu 2 at A$649 is Ooni's multi-fuel oven, and gas needs a separate burner at A$179; Ooni ANZ sells the pair as a A$795 bundle. That suits someone who wants smoke flavour some nights and convenience on others, but it costs more than the Koda 2 once the burner is in.
Going up, the Koda 2 Pro is A$1,099 and the Koda 2 Max A$1,499. The comparison table on the Koda 2 page gives the Pro a 160–500 °C range at 30 kg and the Max room for two 12-inch pizzas at 43 kg. Both stay LPG-only in Australia, so neither solves a natural-gas plan.
The full kit, and who should keep their money
No pizza goes in without a peel, and the manual wants a thermometer for the stone. Ooni ANZ charges A$80 for a 12-inch peel (A$99 for the 14-inch) and A$80 for its infrared thermometer, so oven, peel and thermometer come to A$909 before the LPG bottle. The Rotating Stone at A$479 is optional, for people who would rather not turn each pizza by hand.
Keep your money if your outdoor area runs on mains gas, if you mostly want to grill steaks, since the manual sends meat and vegetables into Ooni pans rather than onto the stone, or if two pizzas at once is the usual order. It fits a household that bakes most weeks, on a bottle it already swaps, one pizza at a time.
