🏆 Best deal right now
Down from $349, and $200 below the second generation Karu 2. The cheapest route into wood fired pizza Ooni currently sells.
Shop the Sale →Ooni is clearing out first generation stock, and that's really the whole story of this sale. Seven products are reduced right now, and every one of them is either a first generation oven or a bundle built around one. The current generation models aren't discounted, so if you've been waiting on a broad sitewide sale, this isn't that.
The upside is that a first generation oven runs about $200 below the model that replaced it, and the cooking fundamentals haven't changed. Everything below is priced from Ooni's own sale page. The free shipping and free gift promotion we listed previously has ended; in its place Ooni now runs an Upgrade Program taking 20% off a new oven or mixer.
One thing worth setting expectations on: Ooni doesn't really do coupon codes. It discounts through the sale page instead, so the reader submitted codes further down are worth a quick try at checkout, but treat them as unverified. Standard free shipping starts at $49 regardless.
Active Ooni deals, August 2026
Ooni has permanently dropped the price on its first generation ovens. The Karu 12 is $249 from $349 (29% off) and the Koda 16 is $499 from $649 (23% off). The Koda 12 was in this clearance at $299 but has now sold out, along with its Essentials Bundle. No code is needed, and the savings show directly on each product and bundle page.
The cheapest way into Ooni by a distance. The Karu 12 runs on wood or charcoal for a genuine wood fired result, or takes a gas burner attachment if you want the convenience. It hits 950F and cooks a 12 inch pizza in about 60 seconds. At $249 it sits $200 below the second generation Karu 2 at $449, and the fundamentals of how it cooks haven't changed.
Free shipping and free returns apply on any order over $49, which every oven and most bundles clear comfortably. This replaces our Koda 12 card: the first generation Koda 12 has sold out entirely in the clearance, as has its Essentials Bundle.
The large format Koda, taking 16 inch pizzas plus meat joints and breads, with an L shaped flame so you only need one turn rather than constant rotation. The extra width matters more than people expect, because a 12 inch oven leaves very little margin for a slightly misshapen base.
Ooni states it plainly on its homepage: make great pizza, or your money back, within 60 days. That is double the usual 30-day window and it matters more than it sounds on a product with a learning curve. This replaces the Koda 12 Essentials Bundle card, which is out of stock.
The 16 inch Koda with essential accessories. The $150 saving matches the oven discount exactly, meaning the $125 of accessories is charged at full price. Convenient, but not a discount on the extras.
The largest accessory package of the essentials bundles at $225 on top of the oven. As with the others, the $100 saving is the oven discount alone, so every accessory is at list price.
The fullest package Ooni sells on the sale page, adding $340 of accessories to the 16 inch Koda. The percentage looks smallest of the group precisely because the accessories dilute it, since the $150 saving is still just the oven discount.
This is worth checking before you upgrade to a bundle. On all four bundles the discount is precisely the oven’s own discount and not a penny more. The Koda 16 is $150 off alone and the Koda 16 Essentials Bundle is also $150 off. The accessories inside are charged at full retail every time. Bundles are a convenience, not a saving, so buy one only if you want those specific accessories.
A quirk of the current sale: the first generation Koda 16 is $499, and the second generation Koda 2 is also $499. So the same money buys either the larger 16 inch cooking area on the older model, or the smaller 12 inch on the newer one. If you cook for more than two people the 16 inch is usually the better call, and if you want the latest hardware the Koda 2 is.
Code trackers currently list no verified Ooni codes at all. The brand runs its discounting by cutting prices on its own sale page instead, which is why the seven items above are where the value is. The reader codes below are unverified community submissions and should be treated as a long shot.
The second generation range isn't discounted, but it's worth seeing the prices side by side before committing to clearance stock. The Karu 2 is $449, the Koda 2 $499, the Volt 2 electric is $699, the Koda 2 Pro $799, the Karu 2 Pro $849 and the Koda 2 Max $1,299.
If you skip the bundles, these are the pieces worth having. A standard pizza peel is $55, the perforated version $65, the turning peel $65 and the digital infrared thermometer $65. Buying only what you need usually beats an Essentials bundle, since the bundle charges list price on all of it anyway.

How to get the best Ooni price
1
Decide on fuel first. Gas means no fire management, multi-fuel means wood fired flavour and more work.
2
Then decide on size. A 16 inch oven is far more forgiving than a 12 inch when your base isn't perfectly round.
3
Compare the first generation sale price against the second generation list price. The gap is around $200 on the 12 inch models.
4
Skip the bundle unless you genuinely want those accessories, since the bundle discount is only the oven discount.
5
Buy accessories individually. A peel at $55 and a thermometer at $65 covers most of what you actually need.
💡 If you're buying your first oven, the Karu 12 at $249 lets you try wood fired cooking for less than the price of most gas only models.
About Ooni
Ooni makes portable pizza ovens and effectively created the category. The ovens reach around 950F, far hotter than a domestic oven, which is what lets them cook a Neapolitan style pizza in about 60 seconds.
The range splits by fuel: Koda models are gas only, Karu models take wood or charcoal with an optional gas burner, and the Volt is electric for indoor use. Both the Koda and Karu lines have now moved to a second generation, which is why the first generation stock is being cleared.
Ooni vs the competition
A quick look at how Ooni compares with two other pizza oven brands on the things that affect what you pay.
| Ooni ★ | Gozney | Solo Stove |
|---|
| Entry price on sale | $249 | Higher | Comparable |
| Fuel options | Gas, wood, electric | Gas and wood | Gas and wood |
| Discount style | Sale page markdowns | Occasional sales | Frequent bundles |
| Public promo codes | None verified | Rare | Common |
💡 Our take: the first generation clearance makes Ooni the clear value pick right now. At full price the comparison is much closer.
Best months to buy an Ooni

- May (🔥): the start of outdoor cooking season, when promotions begin appearing.
- July (🔥): midsummer clearance, which is what is running now with the first generation stock.
- November (🔥): Black Friday, historically the deepest discounting of the year on the current range.
💡 Generational clearance beats seasonal sales. When a new model lands, the outgoing one drops further than it ever does on Black Friday.

🔥
Buy the outgoing generation
Around $200 separates a first generation oven from its replacement, and the way it cooks hasn't changed.
💰
Buy accessories separately
Bundles charge full retail on every accessory, so pick the two or three pieces you'll actually use.
✓
Size up if you're close
The 16 inch Koda at $499 costs the same as the 12 inch second generation Koda 2. More room is usually worth more than a newer badge.
💡 There are no verified Ooni codes in circulation, so the sale price is the discount. Do not hold out for one.
Ooni deal FAQ
Does Ooni have a promo code?›
Not currently. Code trackers list no verified Ooni codes, and the brand discounts by cutting prices on its own sale page instead. The reader codes on this page are unverified community submissions.
What is the cheapest Ooni pizza oven?›
The first generation Karu 12 at $249, reduced from $349. It runs on wood or charcoal and takes an optional gas burner, so it's also the cheapest way to try genuine wood fired cooking.
Are Ooni bundles better value than buying separately?›
No, and this catches people out. On all four bundles the discount is exactly the oven’s own discount, meaning the accessories are charged at full retail. The Koda 16 is $150 off on its own and the Koda 16 Essentials Bundle is also $150 off. Buy a bundle for convenience, not for savings.
Is a first generation Ooni worth buying?›
For most people, yes. The first generation models are roughly $200 cheaper than their second generation replacements, and the core performance, around 950F and a 60 second bake, is unchanged. You are trading refinements rather than capability.
Should I get the 12 inch or 16 inch?›
The 16 inch is more forgiving, because a 12 inch stone leaves very little margin if your base is slightly off round or you launch imperfectly. Right now the 16 inch first generation Koda is $499, the same price as the 12 inch second generation Koda 2.
What is the difference between Koda and Karu?›
Koda is gas only, so you turn it on and cook with no fire to manage. Karu takes wood or charcoal for a traditional wood fired result and accepts a gas burner attachment if you want both. Volt is the electric model for indoor use.
The Bottom Line
This is a generational clearance rather than a seasonal sale, and that actually makes it a better moment to buy than Black Friday usually is. The Karu 12 at $249 sits about $200 under the current generation model that replaced it, and you aren't giving up anything that matters in how it cooks. The Koda 12 has already sold out at $299, so the stock here is genuinely finite. If you want the largest single saving, the Koda 16 and the bundles are the ones down $150.
Move on the Karu 12 rather than waiting. The Koda 12 was in this same clearance at $299 and has already sold out, which is how first generation stock tends to go. Don't wait around for a code to do the work either: on this brand the discount lives on the sale page, not in a promo box.
