[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed with this smart pizza oven. It gives excellent result every time i make pizza for my family. It is easy to use and very convenient. It only takes few minutes and we have a pizza ready. The size is perfect on our countertop, it’s not too big and not too small as well. I have no issues with the quality, it works great as expected. No regrets on getting this. This is highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to use. I made five pizzas to get the hang of settings and pizza type. I am happy with the purchase. It will pay for itself over a short period of time.

Amazing heat
on June 9, 2024

I've been making pizzas in our oven for a few years now. The max temp is only 500, which is typical. I made our first pizza in the Pizzaiolo using the same dough recipe and the results were amazing. The texture was better in every way possible. And it only took 3 minutes instead of 7.5 min.
It was a little more difficult working in a more confined space but I think with a little practice it will be no problem at all.

Overall, the Smart Oven Pizzaiolo is a great oven; especially if you're chasing Neapolitan-style pizza, but don't have access to outdoor space and the options that are available with that luxury. This is our 2nd oven. We had the 1st generation, and it had an issue after making just over 300 pizzas. Thankfully, Breville replaced our old unit with this new model, but one of the big changes they made actually is a big negative more me: the new deck is now round. Instead of covering the entire bottom like the old version, the new deck is round. It allows for more opportunity to things to slip under the stone, creating more tedious cleanup under the stone. I find pulling the stone out and placing it back in to be more frustrating, as well. I understand the older stone was prone to breaking, but I think a better solution would've been to improve the supports instead of shrinking the deck. The new deck may improve the placement for the best bake, but you also need to have a good and precise launching technique. Speaking of, the pizza peel that comes with the oven isn't ideal for launching. It's stainless steel, which is perfect for turning pizzas midway through the bake and removing hot pizzas, but it retains heat in between pizzas, so you have to either use a lot of flour, use a lower-hydration dough (defeating some of the benefits of the extreme heat), or wait long enough to cool the peel completely. Otherwise, your dough will be prone to sticking and tearing upon launching. I recommend cutting down a wooden peel or finding an 11" wooden peel for preparing and launching your uncoooked pizzas. You won't have the heat retention issues and you can use far less flour to reduce those burnt bitter flour flavors.
That said, once you clean and launch your pizza onto the deck, this oven is amazing for the actual cooking part. Heats up super fast, cooking pretty evenly, and is capable of getting hot enough for really good Neapolitan pizza. If your dough is good, the oven will take good care of it and cook it really well!
We use our oven to make 10 Neapolitan pizzas every week over the span of 2 days each time. I hope this oven lasts longer than 300 pizzas, but Breville's support has always been great, and as long as it's working, you're not going to find anything better for making indoor pizza.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Technology but Pizza Deck cracked again
on May 11, 2020
Posted by: Daryn O.
This is an incrediable oven that does what it is designed to, pack the knowledge of Pizza Ovens into this high tech home jewel. The BUMMER is that to clean crumbs from under the specially engernered Deck it has to come out CAREFULLY as documented in the users manual (if anyone reads to the clenaning chapter) After getting into another arguement with my wife on how the Deck cracked, PLEASE CAUTION EVERYWHERE on how to handle the Deck to avoid cracking an essential part of this special and expensive Brevell Product. Going to miss the unbelieveable Pizza's from the Pizzarolo.

Awesome oven / broken pizza stone.
on March 28, 2020
Posted by: Aaron R.
I received this for xmas 2018 right after they were released. So it's got about one year of wear on it. Only used twice a month. Took the pizza peel out to clean it and it cracked right in half. It was completely cool. That shouldn't happen...As a pizza fan, the only thing that could make this oven better is if the peel were steel. Prior to having this oven I would use a Baking Steel and it was great. A baking steel coupled with this oven would be perfect. Not only for the added heat it would bring but it would also eliminate broken pizza stones!

I am a pizza lover, from Jersey, I love New Haven Apizza, Jersey thin crust, NY Pizza, and occasionally, Chicago Pan. I am Italian, and very picky, fussy, a perfectionist. I can’t say enough about this oven! I am so very grateful for this! Thank you Breville. My pizza’s come out like I’m in my favorite pizzeria! I clean it each night that it’s used. That’s almost every night!!! Not only do I highly recommend it, I think anyone who enjoys perfect pizza needs this. Life is short, no one is guaranteed tomorrow. Buy it now! I was spending 120.00 per month on disappointing pizza, this oven will pay for itself in 8 months for me. Look up Leo Spizzirri on you tube for a beautiful pizza sauce! Thank you Leo! Ican’t wait to a maka da pizza later!
I would recommend this to a friend!
