Main trade-off
Gozney Arc
The 47.5-pound body is a substantial lift before adding the propane tank and tools.
Head-to-head
Gozney Arc vs Ooni Koda 2: Same fourteen-inch format, Koda carries about twelve pounds lighter
The short answer
Arc adds a thicker stone and integrated temperature display. Koda 2 keeps fourteen-inch propane cooking in a body about twelve pounds lighter.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
Koda 2 removes about a quarter of the Arc’s oven weight
The 12.23-pound saving makes Ooni the more practical candidate for repeated lifting and transport.
What this is based on
47.5 - 35.27 = 12.23 pounds. 12.23 / 47.5 × 100 = 25.7% less body weight.
Main trade-off
Ooni Koda 2
The 14-inch deck still feels tight when a pizza is stretched all the way to its stated limit.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
Koda 2 removes about a quarter of the Arc’s oven weight
The 12.23-pound saving makes Ooni the more practical candidate for repeated lifting and transport.
How we reached this conclusion
47.5 - 35.27 = 12.23 pounds. 12.23 / 47.5 × 100 = 25.7% less body weight.
Arc adds five millimeters of stone thickness
The thicker floor is relevant to thermal mass, but the specifications alone do not prove faster recovery in back-to-back bakes.
How we reached this conclusion
20 - 15 = 5 millimeters, equivalent to 33.3% greater thickness relative to Koda 2.
Ooni’s recovery claim has a named comparison baseline
Its stated improvement over Koda 12 cannot be reused as evidence that Koda 2 recovers faster than Arc.
How we reached this conclusion
Ooni labels its twenty-percent recovery improvement as compared with Koda 12, not with Gozney Arc.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Gozney Arc | Ooni Koda 2 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|

What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Gozney Arc
- It is an outdoor gas appliance and cannot be used in an indoor kitchen.
If you choose Ooni Koda 2
- There is no built-in thermometer, so an infrared thermometer remains important for checking the stone.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
Frequent transport or lifting
Choose Ooni Koda 2. Koda 2 is more than twelve pounds lighter.
Integrated digital temperature reading
Choose Gozney Arc. Arc includes the display.
A thicker included stone
Choose Gozney Arc. Arc lists twenty millimeters.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
The pizza format is closely matched
Both are designed around fourteen-inch pizza and a 950°F maximum. This comparison is about the oven you want to handle and monitor, rather than a different size of dinner.
Stone thickness is a real material difference
Arc supplies 20 millimeters of cordierite and Koda 2 supplies 15. Ooni’s improvement claims compare Koda 2 with Koda 12, so they should not be treated as a measured victory over Arc.
Portability favors the lower weight
Koda 2 is listed at 35.27 pounds against Arc’s 47.5. The propane cylinder and tools add to either travel load, but the oven alone creates a clear lifting difference.
What this comparison cannot tell you
