If the new home has any outdoor space, the Koda 12 is the gift people remember. It runs on propane (no fire-lighting or wood management), Ooni states it reaches its top temperature of 500C in around 15 minutes, and it cooks a 12-inch Neapolitan-style pizza in roughly 60 seconds. It ranks above the style-led picks below because it creates an experience a new household keeps coming back to, and reviewers rate its ease of use highly for a gas model. The trade-offs versus the Le Creuset at number one are that it only comes into its own outdoors, you need a gas bottle and regulator, and a 12-inch oven cooks one pizza at a time, so it suits couples and small gatherings more than big parties. For a housewarming gift with genuine wow factor that still gets used, it is hard to beat.

The good & the bad

Pros

  • Reaches 500C and cooks a Neapolitan-style pizza in around 60 seconds, per Ooni
  • Gas-powered for easy, repeatable use with no wood to manage
  • Compact and portable at roughly 9.2kg, so it stores and travels easily

Cons

  • Outdoor use only and needs a separately bought gas bottle and regulator
  • Cooks one 12-inch pizza at a time, so slower for big gatherings
