Best Dual Fuel Pizza Oven 2026: 6 Gas + Wood Ovens Ranked

Quick Answer: The best dual fuel pizza oven of 2026 is the Ooni Karu 2 — the oven formerly sold as the Karu 12G — at ~$449 list (as low as $349 on sale, per Ooni), plus a $99 gas burner. It burns wood and charcoal out of the box, bolts on a gas attachment for hands-off weeknights, and reaches 950°F. Step up to the Gozney Dome ($1,499) if you want restaurant-grade insulation and heat retention, or drop to the Bertello Grande ($349) for the cheapest way to get gas and wood — the Bertello is the rare oven that can fire both fuels at once. All three bake a true Neapolitan pizza in 60-90 seconds; the choice comes down to budget and how often you cook.

What changed (July 25, 2026): the Ooni Karu 2 Pro’s price has been corrected sitewide to $849 (up from an earlier $799 figure), which is Ooni’s own wood-and-charcoal list price — Ooni’s product footnote treats the gas burner as a separate accessory. That burner also runs $140, not $120, so a gas-ready Karu 2 Pro totals $989, about $190 more than the gas-native 18” Ooni Koda 2 Pro at $799. Verified against Ooni’s current listings.

A dual fuel pizza oven gives you the one thing single-fuel ovens can’t: a choice. Light gas for a weeknight pizza you want on the table in 20 minutes, or load wood when you’ve got time and want that smoky, live-fire flavor and leopard char on the cornicione. According to the AVPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana), a true Neapolitan pie bakes in just 60-90 seconds at around 905°F (485°C) — and every oven below clears that bar on both fuels. After firing these across gas, wood, and charcoal, here are the six worth buying — in order.

Best dual fuel pizza ovens at a glance

* "Gas" or "wood" with an asterisk means a separately sold burner attachment — the oven ships with one fuel and you buy the other to make it dual fuel.

Dual fuel pizza ovens by the numbers

• 60-90 seconds at ~905°F (485°C) — the bake time and deck temperature the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN) specifies for a true Neapolitan pizza. Every dual-fuel oven here clears that bar on both gas and wood, which is the whole point of buying one.
• ~550°F — the typical ceiling of a home kitchen oven, per the U.S. Department of Energy’s figure for a standard range, so a dedicated dual-fuel oven closes a roughly 350-400°F gap your indoor oven can’t.
• ~$99-$225 — the added cost of the second-fuel burner attachment on most convertible models (about $99 for the Ooni Karu gas burner, up to ~$225 for the Solo Stove Pi gas kit, per each maker), so a “dual fuel” oven’s real price is the body plus that add-on unless it fires both out of the box.

1. Ooni Karu 2 — best overall dual fuel pizza oven

The Karu 2 is the dual fuel oven most people should buy. Out of the box it’s a wood- and charcoal-burning oven with Ooni’s improved air flow and a hinged door with a viewing window; bolt on the Ooni Gas Burner (~$99) and it becomes a flip-a-switch gas oven in seconds. That’s the whole dual fuel pitch in one box: wood when you want flavor, gas when you want speed.

It reaches roughly 950°F (500°C), weighs about 27 lb, and bakes a 12” pizza. Ooni is the world’s best-selling pizza oven brand, so stones, peels, and covers are everywhere and cheap. If you only ever buy one fuel, buy the gas burner and add wood later — gas makes your first bakes far more forgiving.

2026 naming note: the Karu 2 is the oven formerly sold as the Karu 12G — same oven, new name after Ooni simplified its lineup — and the Karu 16 is now the Ooni Karu 2 Pro (a larger 17” cooking area, a ClearView glass door, and the Ooni Connect Bluetooth temperature hub), per Ooni. List price is ~$449, and Ooni has run it as low as $349 during sale events like Prime Day. Picking between the two sizes? See our head-to-head Ooni Karu 12 vs 16 comparison.

2. Gozney Dome — premium dual fuel for crowds

The Dome is what you buy when budget is no object and you bake often. It’s a true gas-and-wood oven (the Dome ships in either a Dual Fuel or Wood-only version), built on Gozney’s commercial pedigree with dense insulation that holds and recovers heat far better than any portable. Pie number ten bakes as well as pie number one — exactly what you want for a party.

At about 128 lb it’s a stay-on-the-patio centerpiece, not a tailgate oven, and at ~$1,499 it costs more than three times a Karu 2. But nothing on this list matches its heat retention or finish. If you’re cross-shopping brands, our Ooni vs Gozney breakdown lays out exactly what the premium buys you.

3. Bertello Grande — best budget, and the only true simultaneous dual fuel

The Bertello is the cheapest way to own gas and wood, and it has a trick none of the others do: it can run the gas burner and the wood/charcoal tray at the same time. That lets you hold a steady base heat with gas while wood adds smoke and pushes the top-end temperature — the closest a sub-$400 oven gets to a commercial deck. The Grande is the larger 16”-capable model; the standard Bertello runs around $300.

Build quality isn’t Gozney-grade, and you’ll fiddle more to dial it in, but for the money the flexibility is unmatched. For a deeper look at the brand, see our Bertello pizza oven review.

4. Ooni Karu 2 Pro — for 16-inch-plus pizzas

Everything that makes the Karu 2 great, scaled up. The Karu 2 Pro — the oven formerly sold as the Karu 16 — offers a 17” cooking area, a full ClearView glass door, and the Ooni Connect Bluetooth temperature hub, per Ooni, and it takes the same dual fuel path: wood and charcoal standard, with a gas burner (~$140) sold separately. It’s the pick if you want bigger pizzas or to fit a chicken or a tray of veg alongside the pie. At $849 for the body plus $140 for the burner, a gas-ready Karu 2 Pro runs about $989 total — roughly $190 more than the gas-native 18” Ooni Koda 2 Pro.

5. Gozney Roccbox + wood burner — most portable insulated option

The Roccbox ships as a gas oven, but Gozney sells a bolt-on wood burner (~$110) that makes it dual fuel. You get the best-insulated portable body on the market — a cool-touch silicone jacket and dense insulation that recovers heat fast — in a 44 lb package with folding legs. It’s the dual fuel oven to grab if you want premium build but still need to move or store it.

6. Solo Stove Pi — design-led patio oven

Solo Stove’s Pi is a striking, round stainless oven that ships wood-fired and accepts a gas burner (~$225) to go dual fuel. It uses Solo Stove’s signature secondary-burn airflow for a clean wood fire, and looks the part on a patio. The gas conversion is pricier than Ooni’s, and peak temps sit a touch lower (~900°F), but if design matters as much as performance it earns its spot. See our Solo Stove pizza oven review for the full breakdown.

How to choose a dual fuel pizza oven

• Decide which fuel you’ll use most. If gas is your everyday and wood is the occasional treat, buy an oven that ships on wood and add the gas burner (the Karu route). The fuel you use 80% of the time should be the one that’s instant.
• Check whether the second fuel is included or extra. Almost every “dual fuel” oven here is really single-fuel plus a $90-225 burner. Budget for the attachment — it’s the difference between a $399 and a $500 oven.
• Simultaneous vs swappable. Only the Bertello runs both fuels at once. Everything else means swapping a burner for a tray, so you pick your fuel before lighting.
• Match size to your crowd. 12” ovens (Karu 2, Roccbox) suit couples and small families; larger ovens (Karu 2 Pro) and the Dome suit entertainers. Building the oven into a permanent counter? The dual-fuel Dome is our centerpiece pick in the best outdoor kitchen pizza oven guide.
• Don’t forget the accessories. Whatever you buy, an infrared thermometer and a turning peel matter more to your crust than the brand badge — confirm the stone is at ~750°F+ before every launch.

Gas vs wood in a dual fuel oven

The beauty of dual fuel is you never have to choose once and for all. Run gas Tuesday, wood Saturday, and you’ve got the same oven covering both. For most people the Ooni Karu 2 is the sweet spot of price, performance, and ecosystem — but any oven on this list will pull a better pizza than your kitchen ever could.
