Life Changing Kitchen Appliance!
on November 26, 2022
Posted by: Ted
On the advice of a friend, my Wife bought the Pizzaiolo for me as a 60th birthday present. At the time I was pizza-curious, but this unexpected gift made me pizza-passionate! All the hype is true; the Pizzaiolo is fantastic and the next best thing to a real pizza oven. I've had mine for two years now with 0.00% issues and 100% perfectly cooked pizza.
I cook for myself and probably average two pizzas a week. I usually alternate between Thin Crust and Wood Fired settings, right now I'm on a Thin Crust kick. The learning curve was all on the prep side. It took awhile for me to get proficient with throwing a thin crust, and coming up with the right sauce and cheese blend. Now, I just plug in the oven, turn it on; and by the time I've thrown the dough and prepped my pizza - about 10 minutes - the oven is ready to go. The cooking part is always perfect. I cannot overstate this enough. The different pizza settings are exactly what they say they are. It's surprisingly accurate and shockingly fast.
The Pizzaolio oven is built like a tank! It is heavy and supremely well-insulated. The controls couldn't be simpler. I've never broken a Breville pizza stone in over two years of regular use. I rarely clean the pizza stone, and when I do, I just wipe it down with a damp cloth - I never submerge it in water. The high cooking temperatures will carbonize any residue in the oven, so the Pizzaolio is somewhat self-cleaning. A wipe down is usually all the cleaning thats required.
The Pizzaolio oven has added a new dimension to cooking at home. There are so many different ingredients to try! I have even successfully cooked a delicious dessert pizza with Nutella and marshmallows and a chocolate chip stuffed crust around the edges! It cooks so fast, it's great for a party where everyone can have their own personal pizzas within minutes.
The price may be off-putting, but from my two-year vantage point, I love and use it so much, it now seems like a bargain and a no-brainer. There is nothing else quite like it.

I had a wood fired oven for years, this is amazing

Just finished my first bake. I miss my wood fired oven and wanted a smaller alternative. The demo pizzas looked great so I bought it. It could be easier. No turning, timer is accurate and pizza comes out close to perfect. I’ll attach a photo of the first pizza.

After moving to the Midwest, we lamented the inability to use our outdoor pizza oven in winter. The Pizzaiolo solves this problem and delivers on the promise of a true pizza oven experience. Honestly, I was not sold on this when my husband purchased it. I was happily proven wrong by the first beautiful Margarita that came out! Not only was the crust perfect, but the speed is fantastic, allowing you to provide individual pizzas for a group very fast. Keep in mind you will need good ventilation that goes directly outside. We put our on a large board directly under our commercial range hood when we use it. Definitely recommended for the pizza afficionado.

8-10 pizzas a week for almost two years.

No issues. Works great. Still using the original stone (gen 2, the circular one), no issues, clean with damp sponge after vacuuming when it’s cool. Do this after each day session of 2-3 pizzas.

Great while it worked but it broke down very soon after purchasing it.

It was great while it worked! I absolutely LOVE most of my Breville items. We own THREE of the smart ovens and they are incredible and we wouldn't know how to live without them BUT the pizza oven is a HUGE disapointment as it stopped working. We used it a lot in the short time we have it as we have many guests as we entertain all the time. Even the guests have been very impressed at the quality of the pizza. We are very busy people and I have't had the time to call Breville to return it for a replacement as I am in a Rural area. For the high price tag - we are extremely disappointed!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
