The catch
Ooni Volt 2
Being indoor-only rules out the patio role that Current supports.
Side by side
Ooni Volt 2 vs Current Model P+: Current can go outdoors too, Volt proofs dough indoors
Quick verdict
Volt 2 is the pick for proofing dough indoors, adaptive heating and two saved custom presets. Current Model P+ is the pick if you need to use the oven outdoors or need documented remote control of it. Each makes twelve-inch pizza and publishes an 850 F ceiling.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Stone dimensions alone do not give you a larger pizza
Despite its thirteen-inch-square stone, Current keeps a twelve-inch pizza rating, the same product class as Volt 2.
Where this comes from
Current specifies a thirteen-by-thirteen-inch stone with a twelve-inch cooking area, and Ooni positions Volt 2 for twelve-inch pizza. The figures measure different things.
The catch
Current Model P+
The published eight-mode list documents no dedicated dough-proofing mode.

Current Model P+
- Why pick it
- You would like an electric oven that works both indoors and on a suitable patio.

proofing dough indoors, or using it on a patio with optional phone control
Which one fits
Pick the situations that sound like you
You are looking for a dedicated low-temperature mode for proofing dough
Proofing down to seventy degrees is something Volt 2 offers outright. Nothing in Current's published modes documents a comparable proofing setting.
- Ooni Volt 2
- Better fit
- Current Model P+
- Caution
You need one oven that works indoors in winter and on a suitable patio in summer
Volt 2 is an indoor oven, while Current is specified for use indoors and outdoors. The outdoor electrical and weather instructions still apply.
- Ooni Volt 2
- Not suitable
- Current Model P+
- Better fit
You must be able to control the oven remotely from a phone
Remote control and monitoring are explicitly documented for Current. The controls cited for Volt 2 sit on the oven itself, so its adaptive heating should not be passed off as phone connectivity.
- Ooni Volt 2
- Caution
- Current Model P+
- Better fit
You would rather cook without a phone
You run Volt 2 from its own controls. Current has eight built-in modes as well, which makes the app optional and not the only way to cook.

- Current Model P+

You have no pizza peel and want one in the selected pack
A compact peel comes in the selected Volt 2 Essentials Bundle. Current lists a rack and stone, which means you would add a suitable peel yourself.
- Ooni Volt 2
- Better fit
- Current Model P+
- Caution
What you mainly want is a pizza bigger than twelve inches
Each is positioned for twelve-inch pizzas. The thirteen-inch-square stone on Current does not amount to a thirteen-inch pizza claim.

In practice
Differences you will notice
Stone dimensions alone do not give you a larger pizza
Despite its thirteen-inch-square stone, Current keeps a twelve-inch pizza rating, the same product class as Volt 2.
How we worked this out
Current specifies a thirteen-by-thirteen-inch stone with a twelve-inch cooking area, and Ooni positions Volt 2 for twelve-inch pizza. The figures measure different things.
Proofing shifts the moment the oven becomes useful
Volt 2 can be used for dough preparation ahead of the high-heat bake. The published eight-mode list for Current does not show the same proofing function.
How we worked this out
Current lists pizza styles plus bake, broil and sear, with no dedicated proofing mode. Volt 2 lists a dedicated seventy-degree proofing mode.
Current treats the phone as optional, and Volt 2 keeps its adaptive heat on the oven
Current is the pick for documented remote operation, and a preference for the controls on the oven is no reason to rule it out.
How we worked this out
Eight built-in modes and app control come with Current. Ooni describes adaptive heat and saved settings as living on Volt 2 itself. Automated heat management says nothing about connectivity.
Loading is already handled by the selected Ooni bundle
The Volt 2 offer already has the compact peel, which helps for a first pizza setup. The stone and rack listed for Current do not do the same loading job.
How we worked this out
The twelve-inch compact peel is explicitly included with Amazon B0GTVWCPTB. In the standard box list for Current you get its stone and rack but no peel.
Option A
Ooni, 12-inch electric indoor oven essentials bundle
Volt 2
This indoor oven gets very hot and adapts its top and bottom heat. It comes with handy presets and enough range to proof dough or broil toppings.
- Best for
- For many different dough styles, the strongest indoor pizza oven
Facts we checked
- Oven, broil and dough-proofing modes are included, and the Volt 2 covers 70 to 850°F.
- The Pizza Intelligence system offers presets for Neapolitan, Thin and Crispy, and Pan Pizza.
- You can watch the pizza through an edge-to-edge triple-paned window during the cook.
Option B
Current, 26553205 smart electric pizza oven, Slate
Model P+
Model P's current version holds on to the connected 850°F platform and places eight cook modes right on the oven, so they are easy to reach directly.
- Best for
- A connected electric oven from the current line that has more modes on its panel
Facts we checked
- On the Model P+, the oven reaches 850°F, with a 13 by 13-inch stone sized for 12-inch pizza.
- The Current app handles monitoring and custom cook times, and eight modes can be reached from the oven itself.
- Indoor or outdoor use calls for 120V at 1,750W, the published electrical requirement.
Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Ooni Volt 2 | Current Model P+ | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supported placement | Indoor use | Indoor and outdoor use | Volt 2 is an indoor appliance. Current can be set up on a suitable patio. |
| Dough preparation | Dedicated proofing mode down to 70 F | No dedicated proofing mode listed | The low-temperature preparation stage is explicitly covered by Volt 2. |
| Pizza capacity | 12-inch pizza class | 12-inch pizza on a 13 by 13-inch stone | Measuring a larger stone does not lift the pizza limit. |
| Published heat ceiling | 850 F | 850 F | Neither one states a higher maximum than the other here. |
| Control approach | On-oven adaptive Pizza Intelligence and two saved custom presets | Eight on-oven modes plus optional remote app control | Heat automation on the oven and remote connectivity are two different features. |
| Tools in the selected offer | Essentials Bundle includes a compact peel and stone | Stone and stainless rack, no peel listed | If you have no loading tool, factor in the separate peel that Current needs. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Ooni Volt 2
- The adaptive controls documented for it do not add up to the remote oven control that Current advertises.
With Current Model P+
- Unlike the selected Volt 2 Essentials Bundle, the standard box list includes no pizza peel.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
Your cooking plan now includes a suitable outdoor spot
Go with Current Model P+. That requirement is met by Current's indoor-and-outdoor specification. It is not met by Volt 2's indoor role.
Patio use and remote operation take a back seat to dough proofing and saved local presets
Go with Ooni Volt 2. For that indoor workflow, Volt 2 explicitly provides the proofing mode and two custom slots.
You need remote oven control that is verified
Go with Current Model P+. That capability is published for Current. Adaptive heat management on the oven by itself does not meet a connectivity requirement.
Decision guide
How to decide
Go with Volt 2 if you want dough proofing indoors, adaptive heating and two saved custom presets. Go with Current Model P+ if you require outdoor use or documented remote oven control. Both are twelve-inch pizza ovens, and both publish a ceiling of 850 F.
Decide where you will cook first
If the oven will live only in your kitchen, both remain candidates. Needing a patio narrows it to Current, since the manufacturer supports outdoor use. That support has limits, though. Follow the instructions on weather, electrical supply, ventilation and storage, and don't treat outdoor use as exposure with no restrictions.
Treat dough prep and the bake as separate questions
Both publish the same 850 F ceiling and share a twelve-inch pizza class. Volt 2 adds a documented proofing mode that goes down to seventy degrees, which can count before a homemade pizza gets to the stone. Current's thirteen-inch-square stone does not raise the stated pizza diameter, and its list of eight modes does not show any substitute for proofing.
Pick the way of controlling it that you will really use
Volt 2 adjusts heating on the oven itself and stores two custom setups. Current gives you eight modes on the oven plus phone control if you want it. If you would rather skip the phone, Current's own controls still work. If you need to adjust remotely, pick the model that explicitly documents that ability.
Look at what the selected offer includes
The catalog points to Volt 2 Essentials, which includes a compact peel. Current's standard package lists a stone and a stainless rack but no peel. For a newcomer, that is a tangible difference in setup. Someone who already has a suitable peel can give proofing, placement and controls more weight.
What this page can’t tell you
- Having the same temperature ceiling does not mean the stone temperature, heat recovery, preheat time or finished pizza quality are the same.
- Current's outdoor-use specification does not extend to every kind of weather or every exposed storage setup.
- None of the Volt 2 sources cited here documents remote oven control, and no connectivity claim is inferred from its adaptive heating.
