Amazon.com Review

This 1,235-watt countertop oven makes pizza in about half the time required by a conventional oven. You don't need to preheat it--it begins rotating and baking the moment you plug it in. There are independently controlled top and bottom heating elements, so all types (frozen or fresh) and sizes (7 to 12 inches) of pizza can be custom baked. With a rising-crust pizza, for example, you should run the lower heating element for 10-12 minutes before turning on the top element. For a crisper crust, bake the pizza with both heating elements, then finish it off with a few minutes of bottom-only heating. For extra cooking time on your toppings, leave the top element on a little longer. A timer with automatic shutoff lets you set cooking times precisely, and a cooking-time guide for various pizza types is printed on the pizza maker. For safety, the appliance shuts off automatically if it overheats. With the 13-1/4-inch-diameter baking pan in place, the pizza maker is 13-1/4 inches wide, 9-1/2 inches high, and 17-1/2 inches deep. (The baking pan can be removed for more compact storage.) It carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

a great addition to our kitchen! - Ronda E. Ramsay, Nov 17, 2009

So happy to have added this to our kitchen counter. We use it daily. Have had other pizza ovens, but love how compact and efficient this one is. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a quick lunch/dinner of frozen pizza.

They almost make them like they use too?!! - D. Hamilton, Nov 14, 2009

The Pizzazz Pizza Oven does everything it says it will. The pizzas are great. Bottom crust is crisp and the self rising pizzas turn out good as well. We had one prior to this and it was made a little sturdier. It lasted for about 10 years. There is no reset button on the new model, and the timer is plastic, but it works. We will see how long it lasts.

Best Frozen Pizza Maker Ever! - G. Griffith, Nov 08, 2009

I have personaly owned a Pizzazz Pizza Oven for at least 7 years (from back in the Info-mercial days) and use it all the time, it totally rocks! Unfortunately, it has now broken, so I have to buy a new one and I came to Amazon to find it, so I though I would rate it for you all to read and know!

First, and most importantly, to really understand how good this product is, you really have to try your favorite frozen pizza cooked on it. It is a totally different experience, like the difference between baking and frying french fries (not that this product deep fries pizza or anything).

Product Pros:
1. Works extremely well for cooking frozen pizza's, especially frozen rising crust pizzas...much better than any conventional over I have ever owned!
2. Cooks most frozen pizzas within 12 minutes (from start to finish), rising crust pizzas in less than 20 minutes...and you don't need to wait for it to heat up.
3. Very easy to clean up.
4. Easy to store and very light weight, about 10 pounds, so you can take with you.
5. I think my first one lasted for 7 years (or even more) and I used it several times per week on average, so for like $7/year of use is a steal!

Product Cons:
1. The plate gets hot and the fillaments are somewhat exposed, so becareful when letting children near it, because it is extremely hot when the pizza maker is on and while cooling after the pizza is done.

So what broke? Well, there is a spring loaded timer on the top that turns the pizza maker on and off. For the past several months, this timer has been going out...it dings (stops) early and has been getting worse and worse...until now, I can no longer set the timer on it. I'm so sad that it broke, but I did use this gadget a lot and I can't stand the thought of making frozen pizza in the oven again! So I'm more than willing to buy another...that is how good this product is.

Anyway, I hope this review helps your decision about buying this product. I think this product is totally worth $50. I am in no way affiliated with this product or company in any way other than I've owned one for years and I plan to buy a new one...that is how much I love this product!

great pizzs - , Nov 03, 2009

(asin 03430 Presto pizza maker)

My husband and I had this product before and were really upset whe it went up. We really missed it and could not find a replacement. We look everywhere. We decided to look on amazon. We were really excited to find one at a very reasonable price. We ordered it snd got it yhe very next day wth no shipping charge.
My husband is in 7th heaven. When he's watching tv in the evening and he gets hungry for a pizza he just plugs it in and has his pizza in 10 min. it's great in summer because it generates no heat What a great invention!

Not just for pizza - Dancing Sky Puppet, Nov 03, 2009

The reviews are correct. This is a great product. It makes quick work of a meal, and no more heating up the oven and kitchen in the Summer. I have been using mine at least twice a week, for four months.

Some claim that it makes frozen pizza taste like fresh. I would not go that far. It does not over-cook the crust, which is a plus.

You can cook other foods. They cannot be higher than an inch and a half, and must cover the pan. Instructions claim that if large portions of the pan are left exposed, it will be damaged. I have pressed out cookie dough on to the pan, and made giant chocolate chip cookies in about 10 minutes.

One gripe; the pan is non-stick, so you must not use metal utensils on it. You have to adapt to cutting the pizza in other ways.
