Main trade-off
Ooni Volt 2
Indoor use rules out the patio role supported by Current.
Head-to-head
Ooni Volt 2 vs Current Model P+: Volt proofs dough indoors, Current also permits outdoor use
The short answer
Choose Volt 2 for indoor dough proofing, adaptive heating and two saved custom presets. Choose Current Model P+ when outdoor use or documented remote oven control is a requirement. Both are twelve-inch pizza ovens with an 850 F published ceiling.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
The stone dimensions do not create a larger pizza
Current's thirteen-inch-square stone still carries a twelve-inch pizza rating, matching Volt 2's product class.
What this is based on
Ooni positions Volt 2 for twelve-inch pizza. Current specifies a thirteen-by-thirteen-inch stone and a twelve-inch cooking area. These measure different things.
Main trade-off
Current Model P+
No dedicated dough-proofing mode is documented in the published eight-mode list.

About this comparison
Compare Volt 2 and Current Model P+ by dough proofing, indoor or patio placement, optional phone control and the tools in their exact US packs.
indoor dough proofing or patio use with optional phone control
Winner by situation
Start with what you need it to do
You want a dedicated low-temperature dough-proofing mode
Volt 2 explicitly offers proofing down to seventy degrees. Current's published modes do not document an equivalent proofing setting.
- Ooni Volt 2
- Better fit
- Current Model P+
- Caution
The oven must work indoors in winter and on a suitable patio in summer
Current is specified for both indoor and outdoor use. Volt 2 is an indoor oven. Outdoor electrical and weather instructions still apply.
- Ooni Volt 2
- Not suitable
- Current Model P+
- Better fit
Remote oven control from a phone is a firm requirement
Current explicitly documents remote control and monitoring. Volt 2's cited controls are on the oven, so its adaptive heating should not be presented as phone connectivity.
- Ooni Volt 2
- Caution
- Current Model P+
- Better fit
You prefer cooking without using a phone
Volt 2 operates through its own controls. Current also has eight built-in modes, so the app is an option rather than the only way to cook.
- Ooni Volt 2
- Good
- Current Model P+
- Good
You own no pizza peel and want the selected pack to include one
The selected Volt 2 Essentials Bundle includes a compact peel. Current lists a rack and stone, so add a suitable peel to that setup.
- Ooni Volt 2
- Better fit
- Current Model P+
- Caution
Your main goal is pizza larger than twelve inches
Both are positioned for twelve-inch pizzas. Current's thirteen-inch-square stone is not a thirteen-inch pizza claim.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
The stone dimensions do not create a larger pizza
Current's thirteen-inch-square stone still carries a twelve-inch pizza rating, matching Volt 2's product class.
How we reached this conclusion
Ooni positions Volt 2 for twelve-inch pizza. Current specifies a thirteen-by-thirteen-inch stone and a twelve-inch cooking area. These measure different things.
Proofing changes when the oven becomes useful
Volt 2 can take part in dough preparation before the high-heat bake. Current's published eight-mode list does not establish the same proofing function.
How we reached this conclusion
Volt 2 lists a dedicated seventy-degree proofing mode. Current lists pizza styles plus bake, broil and sear, without a dedicated proofing mode.
A phone is optional for Current, while adaptive heat is local to Volt 2
Choose Current for documented remote operation, but do not reject it merely because you prefer the controls on the oven.
How we reached this conclusion
Current supplies eight built-in modes and app control. Ooni describes adaptive heat and saved settings on Volt 2 itself. Heat automation is not evidence of connectivity.
The selected Ooni bundle already covers loading
For a first pizza setup, the compact peel is already in the Volt 2 offer. Current's listed stone and rack do not perform the same loading job.
How we reached this conclusion
Amazon B0GTVWCPTB explicitly includes the twelve-inch compact peel. Current's standard box list includes its stone and rack, with no peel.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Ooni Volt 2 | Current Model P+ | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supported placement | Indoor use | Indoor and outdoor use | Current can cover a suitable patio installation. Volt 2 is an indoor appliance. |
| Dough preparation | Dedicated proofing mode down to 70 F | No dedicated proofing mode listed | Volt 2 explicitly covers the low-temperature preparation stage. |
| Pizza capacity | 12-inch pizza class | 12-inch pizza on a 13 by 13-inch stone | The larger stone measurement does not establish a larger pizza limit. |
| Published heat ceiling | 850 F | 850 F | Neither has a higher stated maximum in this pair. |
| Control approach | On-oven adaptive Pizza Intelligence and two saved custom presets | Eight on-oven modes plus optional remote app control | Local heat automation and remote connectivity are separate features. |
| Tools in the selected offer | Essentials Bundle includes a compact peel and stone | Stone and stainless rack, no peel listed | A buyer with no loading tool should account for Current's separate peel requirement. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Ooni Volt 2
- Its documented adaptive controls do not establish the remote oven control that Current advertises.
If you choose Current Model P+
- The standard box list has no pizza peel, unlike the selected Volt 2 Essentials Bundle.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
A suitable outdoor location becomes part of your cooking plan
Choose Current Model P+. Current's indoor-and-outdoor specification addresses that requirement. Volt 2's indoor role does not.
Dough proofing and saved local presets matter more than patio use or remote operation
Choose Ooni Volt 2. Volt 2 explicitly supplies the proofing mode and two custom slots for that indoor workflow.
You require verified remote oven control
Choose Current Model P+. Current publishes that capability. Local adaptive heat management alone does not satisfy a connectivity requirement.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
Choose the cooking location first
An indoor-only kitchen purchase leaves both ovens in contention. A patio requirement selects Current because the manufacturer supports outdoor use. That permission still has limits: follow its instructions for weather, electrical supply, ventilation and storage instead of treating outdoor use as unrestricted exposure.
Separate dough preparation from the bake
Both publish an 850 F ceiling and a twelve-inch pizza class. Volt 2 adds a documented proofing mode down to seventy degrees, which can matter before a homemade pizza reaches the stone. Current's thirteen-inch-square stone does not increase the stated pizza diameter, and its eight-mode list does not establish a proofing substitute.
Choose the control workflow you will actually use
Volt 2 adapts heating locally and can save two custom setups. Current offers eight modes on the oven and optional phone control. A cook who wants to avoid a phone can still use Current's own controls. A cook who requires remote adjustment should choose the model that explicitly documents it.
Compare the selected offer's equipment
The catalog links to Volt 2 Essentials, including a compact peel. Current's standard package lists a stone and stainless rack without a peel. This is a concrete setup difference for a new buyer, while someone who already owns a suitable peel can put more weight on proofing, placement and controls.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Equal temperature ceilings do not establish equal stone temperature, heat recovery, preheat time or finished-pizza quality.
- Current's outdoor-use specification does not permit every weather condition or exposed storage arrangement.
- The Volt 2 sources cited here do not document remote oven control. No connectivity claim is inferred from adaptive heating.
