How fast does it cook a pizza?
Ninja says 3 minutes or less once preheated, with no turning. Tom's Guide got thin-crust pizzas in under three minutes after an 18–20 minute preheat.
How hot does it get?
Up to 370°C. That's hot for an electric oven, but below a wood or gas-fired one.
What else can it cook?
Four functions: Pizza, Bake, Air Fry and Prove. It comes with an air fry basket and a bake tray as well as the pizza stone.
What pizza styles does it have?
Settings for artisan, thin crust, New York and pan pizza, plus a custom setting.
How big is it inside?
It fits a 12-inch pizza or a 30 × 30 cm tray, 6 chicken breasts or 1.3 kg of chips, per Ninja.
Does it need gas?
No, it's electric — plug it into an outdoor socket. It's for outdoor use only.
Is it easy to clean?
Mostly, but Tom's Guide found the stone and the window got sooty and needed scrubbing after long sessions.
How heavy is it?
About 14 kg.
What's in the box?
A 12-inch pizza stone, a bake tray, a pizza peel and an air fry basket.
Should I get this or the Ooni Karu 2?
The Artisan to plug in and press a button, with no fire to manage. The Karu 2 for real wood-fired flavour and more heat.
