Ooni karu 2 vs Ninja artisan: I put two top garden pizza ovens to the test

Can electric convenience replace traditional wood fire for the perfect pizza at home? - (Rachael Penn/The Independent)

The top pizza ovens can help produce restaurant-quality results in the comfort of your own back garden, upgrade your summer and save you a fortune on ordering takeaways. But when it comes to how pizza is cooked, it can cause a bit of a debate.

The Ooni karu 2 is a multi-fuel oven that runs on wood, charcoal or gas. It can hit up to 500C, so cooks a 12in pizza in less than two minutes. Plus, you get the smell and taste of charcoal, which can often only be achieved in a restaurant setting.
