Verdict
The PIEZANO Crispy Crust Pizza Oven delivers on its promise of bringing pizzeria-quality results to home kitchens at a fraction of the cost of outdoor pizza ovens. While independent testing shows stone temperatures reaching 700-730°F rather than the advertised 800°F, this is still dramatically higher than conventional ovens and sufficient for creating authentic crispy crusts that rival restaurant quality. The ability to cook complete pizzas in under 6 minutes versus 15-20 minutes in conventional ovens is genuinely transformative for weeknight dinners and entertaining. The dual heat controls provide excellent customization—crank the bottom high for extra-crispy crust while keeping the top moderate to prevent burning toppings, or adjust based on your pizza style preferences. The viewing window eliminates guesswork, the built-in thermometer provides confidence, and the included pizza peels make operation straightforward even for beginners. The natural ceramic pizza stone distributes heat beautifully for even cooking, though you'll need to rotate pizzas midway for most consistent browning. The compact design means it doesn't dominate counters yet accommodates full 12-inch pizzas comfortably, while portability lets you take pizza night outdoors during pleasant weather. Yes, you'll need to develop technique for optimal results, and Neapolitan purists may find limitations, but for classic New York, Chicago, and standard pizza styles, this oven excels. At its affordable price point, it pays for itself after just a few uses compared to takeout costs while providing the bonus of family bonding over homemade pizza. For pizza lovers seeking restaurant-quality crust without the hassle and expense of outdoor ovens or the wait of conventional baking, PIEZANO represents excellent value and reliable performance.
FAQ
Does it really reach 800°F?
While the air temperature inside can reach 800°F (shown on the built-in thermometer), independent testing shows the pizza stone typically reaches 700-730°F. This is still dramatically higher than conventional home ovens (450-500°F max) and sufficient for creating authentic pizzeria-style crispy crust. The dual heating elements and ceramic stone work together to deliver excellent results.
How long does it take to cook pizza?
PIEZANO cooks pizzas in under 6 minutes once preheated, compared to 15-20 minutes in conventional ovens. Actual time varies based on crust thickness, toppings, and desired doneness. Thin crust pizzas may finish in 4-5 minutes, while thicker styles need closer to 6-7 minutes. You'll quickly learn optimal timing for your preferences.
What size pizzas can it accommodate?
PIEZANO accommodates pizzas up to 12 inches in diameter—the most popular standard pizza size. This is perfect for personal pizzas, family dinners, and entertaining. The 12-inch ceramic stone provides ample cooking surface for generous portions without requiring a massive footprint.
How do the dual heat controls work?
The top and bottom heating elements have independent temperature dials, allowing you to customize heat distribution. For classic pizza, crank the bottom heat high for crispy crust while keeping top moderate to prevent burning cheese. For Chicago-style, balance both settings evenly. This flexibility accommodates different pizza styles and personal preferences.
Is it difficult to clean?
Not at all! The ceramic pizza stone removes easily and cleans with warm, soapy water like any baking stone. The oven exterior wipes down with a damp cloth. Unlike conventional ovens with baked-on messes throughout, PIEZANO confines cleanup to the removable stone, making maintenance quick and simple.
Can I use it for frozen pizzas?
Absolutely! PIEZANO works wonderfully with frozen pizzas, transforming them into crispy, restaurant-quality results. The extreme heat breathes new life into frozen pizzas that would otherwise be soggy from conventional ovens. Just adjust cooking time based on thickness and watch through the viewing window for perfect doneness.
Does it need to be rotated during cooking?
For most even browning, rotating the pizza halfway through cooking is recommended. The dual heating elements provide good coverage, but like most pizza ovens, rotation ensures edge-to-edge consistency. With the viewing window, you can easily monitor progress and rotate at the optimal moment without losing heat.
Can I take it outdoors?
Yes! PIEZANO is portable and works anywhere you have access to a standard electrical outlet. It's perfect for patios, decks, camping with electric hookups, or tailgating. The suction cup feet provide stability on various surfaces, and the compact design makes transport easy. Just ensure protection from weather elements during use.
What comes included with the oven?
PIEZANO includes the electric pizza oven unit, one 12-inch natural ceramic pizza stone, two wooden pizza peels for launching and retrieving pizzas, and a recipe guide to get started. Everything you need to begin making pizzeria-quality pizza at home is included in the box.
