Ooni Volt 2
Indoor electric countertop 12-inch · Reviewed by Katie · amazon.com live, Sept 28 2026
Why it scored a 83
The successor to the Volt 12 (now discontinued; Ooni's page redirects here) and the best indoor option for apartments: a standard outlet, 850°F, adaptive temperature control and presets for Neapolitan, thin-and-crispy and pan pizza, at $300 less than the original Volt. Engadget scored it 88/100 and Quality, Features and Satisfaction all sit at 90. It weighs 39 lb, maxes out at 12-inch pies, gets very hot outside, and 850°F trails outdoor gas ovens, so at $699 Value is the softest at 72; the 1-year warranty extends to 3 with registration.

Should you buy the Ooni Volt 2?
The Volt 2 is for someone who wants pizza-oven results without gas, wood, or a backyard. It's electric, runs indoors or out, and plugs into a wall outlet. Apartment balconies, covered patios, and anyone who doesn't want to deal with propane are the target.
Where it earns its score
- Indoor and outdoor. Electric heat means no fumes, so it works on a kitchen counter as well as a deck.
- Independent top and bottom heat. You can balance crust and topping browning rather than fighting one flame.
- High for an electric. Ooni rates it for 850°F, well above a home oven and enough for a leopard-spotted Neapolitan crust.
- Second generation. The Volt 2 refines the original Volt 12 with updated controls and heating.
What to know first
- $699. Electric costs more than gas at the same size; you're paying for the indoor capability.
- Needs a proper outlet. Check the power draw against your circuit; extension cords are a bad idea for a heater this size.
- Slower than gas. Preheat and recovery take longer than a 950°F propane oven, so back-to-back pizzas are more spaced out.
Our verdict
The Volt 2 scores 83. If you can run gas, the Roccbox or Pi Prime gives you better value; if you can't, the Volt 2 is the best pizza oven we scored that plugs into a wall.

Questions buyers ask
Can you use the Ooni Volt 2 indoors?
Yes. It's electric, so there are no combustion fumes, and Ooni markets it for indoor and outdoor use.
How hot does the Ooni Volt 2 get?
Ooni rates it for up to 850°F, which is enough for Neapolitan-style pizza in a couple of minutes.
Volt 2 or Ninja Artisan?
The Volt 2 runs hotter and is the better pure pizza oven; the Ninja Artisan is cheaper and doubles as a roaster and outdoor oven.
