I don't understand why this does not have an on/off switch. I understand that the heating elements shut off with the timer but you have to continuously plug/unplug the unit when not in use.
Purchased over 10 years ago and still going strong. In fact, my kid took it to college so I have to buy ANOTHER ONE. We love this thing not only for pizzas but other frozen foods that need a simple quick cooking.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for your review! (Have you tried cookie dough on this?) :)
I have literally had mine for over a decade. I got it as a Christmas present when I moved out of my parents house in my early 20s. It does pizza, it does frozen fries, it does honestly most frozen food amazingly. I also use it to make grilled cheese and this thing is just **chef's kiss**. If you're thinking about getting one, just get it. It's a game changer.

Thanks for the review! Have you tried cookies or sweet rolls on it yet? :)
Works OK but doesn’t cook the center of the pizza. The edges get crisp while the center stays raw. Good for making nachos.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We recommend nothing larger than a 12 inch pizza when using the pizza oven. Some pizzas have recommended settings you may want to try. For example, a traditional frozen pizza uses DUAL settings only, while a pizza with extra toppings may need the DUAL and then UPPER settings to complete the baking time. We'd like to discuss this issue with you. Please call 1-800-877-0441 so we can help you.
We had a pizzaz years ago. We are so happy to have a new one and this one works even better than our old one and easier to clean!
