When it comes to pizza ovens, particularly design-led pizza ovens, you’d be forgiven for thinking these modern, lusted-after cooking accessories were exclusive to homes with sprawling outdoor spaces — but I’m pleased to inform you that this is not the case. While iterations of indoor pizza ovens have been available on the market for some time — the first dating back to 2018 — Ooni's Volt 2 is the premium pizza brand's very first indoor-only pizza oven.

I've tested many pizza ovens over the past four years, but this was my first time testing an indoor model, so I was very keen to see how it would compare to its outdoor counterparts. What Ooni has done with the Volt 2 is take all the learnings from its indoor-outdoor Volt 12 electric oven model to inform the build of the ultimate indoor pizza oven. Kristian Tapaninaho, Ooni's founder and co-CEO, describes the Volt 2 as the "most technologically advanced indoor pizza oven available today." Using a patent-pending Pizza Intelligence™ control system that adjusts heat in real time, the oven allows you to make restaurant-quality pizzas at the touch of a button.
