XL 14" Electric Pizza Oven Indoor Countertop Pizza Maker | Heats to 800˚F, Ceramic Stone for Crispy Crust Pizza, Cooks in Under 6 Minutes, Dual Heat Controls, Peels & Scraper Included

I recommend reading the instructions at least twice. You can watch videos of people using their Piezano's, which is helpful, but be careful about the advice they give. I heard one review where they mentioned washing the pizza stone, which you are NOT supposed to do. You should enjoy cooking at least a little bit, because it will probably take you several tries to produce a cooked pizza that's exactly how you want it. So if you have no patience or you don't like to cook (you prefer to put the pizza in the oven, set the timer, and then take it out when the timer goes off) you probably won't like using this item. As others have stated, there is a learning curve, and you do have to babysit your pizza. You cannot walk away from this device while it's cooking your pizza, but the good news is that it cooks it fast. Ways to keep your pizza crust and the toppings from burning: make small pizzas with thinner crusts. Fork your dough before topping your pizza. Par-bake your pizza crust (instructions are in the recipe book.) Bake your pizza crust topping-less until almost done, then remove it with your peels and place your sauce and toppings onto the mostly cooked pizza crust. Then place it back onto the Piezano and bake it a couple more minutes until your cheese is melted and your toppings are cooked to your linking. Do not spread your sauce and toppings to the edges; leave a good sauceless and topping-less border around your pizza. Watch your pizza through the window and pop any bubbles with a fork. Rotate your pizza with the peels if one side starts to look darker than the other side. Adjust the bottom and top temperature controls as needed. As the pizza cooks, the dough rises, so if the dough is very thick, it will rise quickly, and your pizza and toppings will rise up towards the heating element. If this happens, you'll want to adjust your temperature knobs and also open the Piezano and rotate your pizza. Keep doing this until it looks done. You do not want any part of your pizza to touch the heating element, as this will cause burning and smoking as the ingredients burn onto your heating element. You also do not want any of your sauce, cheese or toppings to drip or fall off of the pizza and onto the pizza stone, as this will cause burning and smoking as they burn onto the pizza stone. Carefully scrape your pizza stone between uses/pizzas, and CAREFULLY dust off the crumbs and any burnt crumbs or pieces with a damp (not wet) rag. This thing gets very HOT and the heating element is exposed, so be CAREFUL! Keep your cooking area free of clutter to prevent accidentally starting a fire, and do not let young kids or pets play near your cooking area while you're using the Piezano. The dough recipe is basic and not difficult to make (make sure your yeast is fresh/not expired; the dough won't rise if the yeast is dead.) The hardest part about making the dough is getting it to roll out thin, but you can go online and read articles and/or watch videos, and learn about and experiment with different dough recipes and different techniques for making whatever type of pizza crust you like. The first time you use your Piezano, you might want to try using a store bought raw dough or raw pizza crust so you can focus on learning how to use the Piezano first, and then perfect your homemade pizza crust later on. I haven't had much trouble using the pizza peels, but I read a review that stated purchasing one large pizza peel worked better for her than these 2 half peels, so that's something to consider if you don't like the half peels (try the half peels first, though!) I have had a lot of fun using the Piezano, and I am learning a lot about making dough. (But then, I like cooking!) The pizzas you can make in this thing are restaurant quality or better, as when you cook from scratch, you know what you are putting into your pizza, so no mystery ingredients. On one hand I wish it was bigger so I could make bigger pizzas, but then on the other hand I know if it was bigger it would take up more room on my kitchen counter, where I keep it. So I'm fine with the size. I got the cream color, which is attractive and goes with my kitchen. Not much cleaning involved, just scraping and wiping with a damp (not wet) rag. If you accidentally burn your sauce/cheese/dough onto your stone, it's not ruined! Don't throw it away! Your stone is going to get really black and look burned, but you just need to scrape all of the burnt stuff off (this might take awhile) and wipe it down several times between scrapings with a damp rag until you get all the burnt stuff off and the stone feels smooth. The stone will still be very dark or black and will stay that way, but that's okay. Next time you warm up your Piezano, it might start to smoke, which means there is still some burned residue stuck to the stone. The high heat will help burn it off. You will probably also need to scrape it again and wipe it down with a damp (not wet) rag some more. It is a process to remedy a burned on mess (it happened to me!!) but it is totally doable, and you will be back to making homemade pizzas again in no time, so don't give up! This little pizza oven is not for everyone and some people will not enjoy using it, but I love it! And the more I use it, the better my pizzas get/practice makes perfect (or at least really good!) You can bake other things besides pizza on this, but so far I've only made pizzas.

WOW! love this pizza oven! its alot cheaper than the cusuinart that i was eyeing. so i made neapolitano pizza using mostly ingredients from italy. i was gonna buy from eataly but i bought here on amazon instead: --urban slicer pizza worx neapiltano style pizza dough mix (sold on amazon) --mutti pizza sauce from italy (sold on amazon!!) per can --san guliano extra virgin olive oil (sold on amazon!) --i bought the cheese locally, moz and 3 cheese blend to top it (asiago, parm, romano all in one mix) --semolina flour to put the dough on. I bought a pizza peel as you can see in the picture i put the semolina flour (yellow) on the pizza peel and let the piezano heat up to full temp ~ 10-15 min. this way with the semolina floud on the pizza peel i can just slide the pizza into the oven with just openeing it very little hahahaha :-) it works really well. the only problem i had was oversliding the raw pizza too much to the back.... gotta work on the slide more. im still playing with cooking times, i think i overcooked a bit by a few mins and i want the top to go hotter as well, i set the top to 600 the 1st time and 400 the 2nd time, with bottom on 800. so still playting around with timings..... and cook time. but it came out nicely!!! i put olive oil on it before cooking and after too. the pizza tastes lovely! my son said it was the best pizza ever!! :-) i can taste the neapoilitano dough and nice and crispy, and the 4 cheese blend and the lovely mutti italian pizza sauce and the lovely extra virgin from italy olive oil. all came together to make a great pizza ! its alot of fun to assemble pizzas with this oven. cleanup wasnt too bad..... the semolina flour smokes up pretty fast.. i wonder if corn meal would do any better? hmmm may try corn meal instead i dunno. i used a stand mizer to put the dough together. it was so easy! just dump the 1 bag of urban slicer dough mix into the mixer and 1 cup of 80 degree water and let it run for 8 mins and came out perfect. i do like the urban slicer neapolitano dough mix. at 1st i thought it was dumb to buy a dough mix but now im a fan!!! dough in 8 min and let is rise 3 hours... easy easy with the stand mixer. best wishes in your pizza endeavors :-)

I am typically skeptical when I buy ovens and appliances without seeing it in the store. I made the purchase and after months of having it, I wanted to write a review about the oven. I am not the typical pizza loving person, but I purchased the oven to make “thyme/ oregano pies “which we and our kids love! When I read the product brochure, I thought this will be very dangerous and difficult oven to operate. .. Fortunately, my fears eased quickly after I read the brochure, as I felt they wanted to be extra careful to avoid injuries/ burns etc… I used it once or twice to make pizza, which turned out great, but mostly used it to make oregano and cheese pies which also turned out a lot better than what I expected!! What I liked about the oven, it is easy to operate if you attend to the safety precautions, and most importantly handling the lids with caution and not to forget about that as you get busy baking your pizza/ pies It worked well, and the ability to achieve close to 600 to 700 F with such a small size oven is a great plus for me. given the number of pies, I need to make at once, it is difficult to keep the temps in the 700 F range. Within less than 5 minutes, the pies were ready and as shown in the photos, they look as if they have been purchased from the bakery as I was told by some family members and friends who saw the photos. It is quick to get you the desired temperature of baking for the pies, and you have to keep checking it, just to make sure it doesn’t get burnt if left more than the needed time. It is also easy to clean, and I usually scrape it with gentle food scraper, and I don’t wash it as this might ruin the stone. It is quite useful and did the job I need it for. The only downside which I don’t really consider it a downside in my case is the small size, and it fits only one pie at a time. I am not buying pizza or oregano pies any more. I can make as good pizza and pies, and I have this super oven helping me to make it!! So far, I am quite satisfied with the purchase, and I would recommend for anyone who wants to make their home-made pizza quick and comparable to what is it bought from your best local pizza restaurant. Update I shared some of the thyme pies I baked using this pizza oven, with an owner of bakery/grocery store which bakes similar kind of pies, he told me that whoever tasted these homemade thyme pies including himself was very impressed with the quality, taste and baking of these pies, he asked if he could have more !! :)

I nice counter top pizza oven. It heats quickly to 800 degrees, and it easy to use. The stone plate does stain, and isn't the easiest to clean......but does a nice job on crust. Not real complaints. My one concern is the lid heating element is too low to the cook stone. When your dough rises, it tends to go into the element, causing smoke, and burning of that portion of your pizza. There is a learning curve, just be patient. You'll get it figured out, they is it's on like Donkey Kong!! We have Friday Pizza nights ! This works better than any other baking appliance out there. Way better than your oven, they don't get hot enough. Pizza in 8-10 minutes! OK, details. There are suction cups on the feet = holds well. Cool touch lid handles = work good. Duel temp controllers = very convenient. Removable stone baking disk = works well, just seems to stain too easy. Overall, my family loves it, yours will too. You can use it for tons of recipes too! Garlic bread, calzones, etc. Get one, you'll love it.

My kids are obsessed with this pizza maker. They keep asking me to make dough. I make a quick hand mixed dough and it’s never enough. It literally comes out like restaurant quality brick oven pizza. My kids have been experimenting with different sauces and pesto and toppings. There’s definitely a learning curve for the heating process (should be preheated before using) and we use corn meal under the pizza to help it slide right off the base. Yes, the base will get black. No, don’t try to clean it with soap or chemicals. I like that this machine makes delicious professional style pizza in a few minutes and we are saving lots of money by avoiding the pizza store. I don’t like that my kids want to have pizza parties four times a week and bring their friends to enjoy the bounty. Hopefully the excitement will die down a little after the first couple weeks. Until then, I am going to start freezing the dough in batches and stock up on cheese. Also, this fits nicely in my closets even though I swore I didn’t have space.

I love this oven. Just follow the baking instructions and your pizza will come out perfect like a gourmet pizza.

I really wanted to love this pizza oven but I just don’t. It has some flaws that I didn’t notice before buying. First, the heating coil has a center portion that reaches into the center of the oven. If the pizza rotated it would heat evenly. But it doesn’t so the top browns in one section and not the entire pizza. There are handles to rotate the heating stone a couple inches but it doesn’t help to move the pizza so the entire top browns. I’ve tried using the spatulas to move the pizza around but typically one section is stuck on the pizza stone so I end up with just a messy mangled pizza. I’ve used it several times and end up with the same results. It does heat up quickly and the stone is pretty easy to clean. But, I just wish I hadn’t purchased it. There’s got to be something better out there.

I love this pizza oven. We have started to do make your own pizza night in our family as a result of this product. There is a little bit of a burning smell the first time it is used but as you are cooking any burnt smell goes away and it keeps the smoke well contained under the lid when closed. The heating elements on the top and bottom are controlled separately so you can get the best bottom crust along with being able to cook the top without burning either. It does take up some space. But what would you expect when it can cook up to a 12 inch pizza with no problems. I can also take it with me on car trips as well. Just as long as where you are going has an outlet you can have a pizza ever night if you wanted to. The top does get a little hot on the outside and you should watch smaller children when in use. Oh and you can make quesadillas with it as well, not just pizzas.

Not good stoped working in first use,no body is able to help you with even Amazon,please don’t buy

Nos encantó, muy sencillo su uso, nos quedaron deliciosas las pizzas, justo en su punto. Es un equipo robusto. Llegó a tiempo y perfectamente bien empacado, el instructivo muy claro.

I really can't say enough good things about this Piezano pizza cooker. Over the past thirty years, I've made the occasional pizza using a baking tile I have in my oven. It took forever to heat up, and even then, I really couldn't safely take the temperature up much past 450F. And that doesn't make for a fast meal, or a decent pizza I saw a YouTube video showcasing this product, and since I'm a kitchen tool junkie, I immediately found it here on Amazon and purchased it. I honestly wasn't expecting anything terrific, but if it made pizza making a bit faster and easier, it was worth the risk. I'm so glad I pulled the pin on the purchase, and if you like pizza, I wholeheartedly suggest you buy one. Pluses: - It has "suction" cup style feet, so it secures to the countertop and won't slide around on you - it heats up to 800F in about ten minutes. - It cooks a really decent pizza in six minutes. - Clean up is easy. - The wooden paddles make pizza placement simple, and the scraper makes cleaning the baking stone a cinch. Cons: - None really. It makes a really good 12" pizza quickly. If you have a large family, you can easily be reheating the stone and building your second pizza while the first one is being devoured. - The only caveat is that because it does get extremely hot, you need to take care when placing and removing the pizza from the stone. 800F makes for a quick pizza cook, and it makes for an even faster skin sizzle if you accidentally touch the stone. Treat it with respect and you'll love what it delivers for you. I use a very simple pizza dough recipe that's based on Italian 00 flour and generates two dough balls that I let go to first rise, then cold proof in the fridge for several days. An hour before cooking, I pull the dough out of fridge and let it come to room temp. That relaxes the gluten, making for an easy pizza base formation. After I've shaped my 12" crust, I place it on the paddles/peels, then sauce and top it and lay it on the baking stone. Fast, easy, a great rise, and incredible taste and texture. Perfect. The recipe for the dough: - Add one tbsp sugar to 1 cup of warm water and stir to dissolve - Add one tbsp dry active pizza dough yeast, and wait for five minutes to allow the yeast to bloom (come alive and consume those sugars to create more live yeast) - Add three cups of flour (I recommend an Italian 00 flour if you can source it, otherwise use all purpose flour) - Add 1/4 tsp salt - Add two tbsp olive oil Mix well and knead till you feel the dough become resistant... that's how you'll know you've gotten the gluten working for you. Ultimately, the dough should not be dry, but also not stick to your hand. Add a tsp of flour or water if necessary to adjust the dough density as needed. Cover the dough with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature until it's doubled in size. You "can" use the dough immediately, but it really benefits from being allowed to further mature in the fridge for a few days. This may sound strange, but trust me, it's worth doing. Divide the dough into two equal sized balls, and place in sealed containers and pop them in the fridge. After two or three days they're good to go, and I've actually let some sit for nearly a week without any significant issues. An hour before you plan on making your cooked pizza, bring out the dough and allow it to come to room temperature. Lightly flour your countertop and place the pizza ball in the middle of the dusted area. Lightly flour the top of the ball, and then using your fingers start pressing down in the middle gradually working around in ever increasing circles as you work the dough out to form your final 12" pizza base. When you've done this, transfer the dough onto your two pizza peels.... then sauce it, cheese it, add whatever toppings you plan on using, and then use the peels to place it on the heated cooking stone. Here's a tip: line up your pizza to the middle of the stone, and then while leaving the peels touching the stone in the middle, lift up the edges and carefully pull them away. The pizza dough will grab the baking stone in the middle, allowing you to easily slide the dough off the peels onto the stone. You an then use the peels to push the crust in a bit if you find it's a bit larger than the stone surface. Happy pizza making...

I highly recommend.

I've been wanting to get a Breville Pizzaioli oven for the longest time, but at close to $1500 Canadian, I couldn't justify the cost. When other similar ovens hit the market, I was considering one of those for around $300-500. Then I saw the ads for this Piezano and to be honest I was skeptical at best. In the past I had a Hamilton Beech pizza oven, but it was useless for anything other than frozen pizza, which I am really not a fan of. I ended up giving that away. But seeing this oven on sale recently, with a $25 coupon bringing it down to just over $100, and I had a $10 Amazon Gift Card as well, it just made me take the leap. And I cannot say I was glad I did, I can however say I am deliriously happy that I did! I have been making pizzas at home from scratch for many years, and I make very good pizzas that my friends always compliment me on. But they have never been up to the standard I wanted to reach. Even with a top quality pizza stone and boosting my oven temp to close to 575 and letting the stone preheat for almost 2 hours. Enter the Piezano. Reading reviews here and watching some on YouTube, I see people complaining that the oven never hits over 700°-750° F. Well, I turned mine on to burn off the manufacturing residue, if any, and it topped 800°F which I confirmed with an IR temp gun. So don't worry about those comments. I learned from my first pizza, that it is best to allow the oven to heat for around 10 minutes after it hits temp. My first pizza, as good as it was, did not compare to the ones I have made since then. In less than a week, I've cooked 4 pizzas, and each seems to be better than the last. I was distracted during my 2nd, and the crust burned around part of it, but it tasted just like an expensive wood oven pizza at a high-end pizza restaurant. The next two I baked one after the other. One for a friend and the other for myself, and they were both absolutely perfect. In fact, I just finished mine before writing this review. The only disadvantage really is the limitation to a 12" pizza, but then most home counter top pizza ovens have that limitation. And this reheats so fast, it is no problem cooking pizzas one after the other. I can't find anything at all to complain about. It takes a bit of time to get used to the two piece pizza peel that comes with it, but it actually works well once you make sure to dust it properly so that the dough doesn't stick. I advise practicing with some fresh dough on a counter or cutting board until you are used to how much flour or corn meal to use on the peel. Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints. Yes, you should turn the pizza halfway through for even cooking, but that is something anyone who cooks pizza at home knows to do. And please do not use frozen pizza or store bought pizza dough. Pizza dough is one of the easiest things to make from scratch. There are plenty of recipes out there, and none of them are difficult. The same thing with pizza sauce. I made two just over 10" pizzas today with sauce, mushrooms, green peppers, pepperoni and plenty of Mozzarella cheese and the two probably cost me around $5 to make. Each would have cost a minimum of $20 in a restaurant, or to get delivered. Add delivery and tip and these cost me around 10% and were as good as any, and better than any chain pizza you could get. And to boot, this thing is on special for Black Friday Week right now, at less than I paid for it. I would have saved around $20 if I had waited, but I really don't care because if I knew the quality of pizzas this turns out, I would have bought one at the full price a long time ago! If you love pizza, love making it at home and want to save a fortune over ordering in, get one of these. If you currently make your own and like me, pre-heat your pizza stone for over an hour, sometimes two, and want better pizza and save a fortune on electricity on your oven, get one of these. And at the current price, it will pay for itself in two months if you make one or two pizzas per week. I simply cannot recommend it enough. Oh! One word of advice... there is a YouTube video out there on this oven where the person tells people to season the stone with oil!!! NEVER, NEVER DO THAT!!! The oil will soak into the stone and eventually go rancid, leading to having to replace the stone or some people simply throwing the oven in the trash. Pizza stones will naturally season themselves over time, building up black spots and such. Never wash them with soap or allow any oil to soak in. And one last bit of advice... if you do plan to cook frozen pizza in this oven, I'm sure it will come out fine, but never put a frozen pizza, or anything else for that matter, on a hot pizza stone. Doing so may well cause the stone to split in two or more pieces. Thaw any frozen pizza in the fridge first and let it sit on the counter to warm up a bit before cooking it. Well, that's all I can say. I love this thing and I think any pizza fan will love it too.
