As good as my outdoor pizza oven
on August 14, 2023
Posted by: Jeffrey
Purchased a month ago for my NYC apartment and couldnt bd happier. I have a log cabin in NJ where I installed a beautiful wood burning outdoor oven imported from Italy. Have been using for 20 years but am selling my home and needed an appliance that could match mg outdoor oven and meet NYC code, i.e.-cant use propane gas. The Breville pizza oven was the perfect solution. Turns out pizzas as good as my wood burning oven and i can fire it up in 20 minutes vs 2 hours. Its a good size appliance but compact enough to store in my apartment.
This was a replacement for the one I bought in Jan 2020 and have loved. It was out of warranty when it failed. I doesn’t it in for repairs and you have me a new one. I’m delighted. I’m spoiled being able to make great pizza no matter what the weather.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Pizza but Oven Needs Improvements

I received this as a birthday present recently in October 2023. I love how the pizzas taste however the cleanup and stone are a pain! I tested this by having a pizza party and there were a total of 8 pizzas made. The first issue is how long it takes to preheat, usually about half an hour. Since you can only make one pizza at a time and you have to wait after each to reach the ‘At Temp’, there’s a lot of waiting for the next pizza. After the first party my stone looked awful and was impossible to completely clean. The oven does smoke quite a bit if several pizzas are being made so you need to have it in a room that windows can be opened. I noticed my preset time wasn’t always correct after making my first pan pizza. The next time I used it I set to New York style and the timer indicated 18 minutes instead of 7. There’s a space between the door and oven that’s really hard to get to for cleaning.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I can’t stop making pizza on the wood fired setting! It’s so fast and easy. I love that I’m making it all from scratch now. It’s so much better than take out and I feel like it’s as good as what I get in my favorite little Italian pizza place!
I have had an outdoor, wood-burning pizza oven, imported from Italy, for about 25 years. I used to use it half a dozen times a year, at most. The pizza was excellent, but getting the oven going and managing the fire were challenging. I bought the Smart Oven Pizzaiolo about a year and a half ago. Since then, I have made pizza about every 10 days or so, and haven't used my REAL wood-burning pizza oven once since I got the Pizzaiolo - it's that good! It produces pizzas that are just as good, or better, than those I make in the wood-burning oven. With the Pizzaiolo, you're not limited to Neopolitan-style pizza. The design wizardry makes producing any style of pizza as easy as turning a knob. The Pizzaiolo can only handle one pizza at a time, and while it bakes up fast, it will still be more efficient to use the outdoor oven to feed a crowd. But for everyday use for a smaller group, it's the best. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
After using it for a few weeks the results are incredible. It really makes pizzas with Italian pizzas restaurants.My suggestion to the product developers is to put a light bulb like the Breville Pro Ovens and divert the smoke that comes out of the front door through a grill on the back or sides.
