Granitestone Piezano Pizza Oven 3 Pc Accessories Kit - Comes with Pizza Cutter Wheel, Sering Spatula, and Wooden Pizza Slicer, 3 Pc Pizza Oven Accessories Kit

I bought the Breville Crispy Crust pizza oven and was mostly satisfied with it, but over time wished it achieved higher cooking temperatures and wasn’t limited to very thin crust pizzas. The Piezano is a similar style, although the build quality is lower (it’s about 6 pounds lighter due to the lower quality materials). But the Piezano is feature rich, with duel controls for the top and bottom heating elements, a large viewing window, and a built in temperature gauge. I was most interested in the claim that it reaches temperatures of 800 F. After 10 minutes the oven reaches about 700 F, but then the heating elements shut off. If you let it heat up for 15-20+ minutes the elements cycle on and off and the temperatures will fluctuate between 700-750 F. I’ve confirmed the temperatures with an infrared thermometer and the temperature gauge on the Piezano seems to be reasonably accurate. The fact that it doesn’t consistently reach and maintain the highest temperatures is a little disappointing, but it produces some pretty amazing pies in 4-7 min. Another plus is that the Piezano has greater clearance between the top heating element and the stone (about 1.75 in) compared to the Breville oven, and has a much larger viewing window. It isn’t suitable for deep dish pizza, but is more than adequate for thin to medium crusts. The ceramic stone isn’t one of the better features, as it’s fixed in a metal housing, so residue accumulates in the seam. I also don’t see anywhere on the Granitestone website where you can purchase a replacement stone, so what do you do if it cracks over time? The most surprising thing for me was the dual wooden peels used to transfer pies onto the stone. The most nerve wracking thing I’ve always struggled with is sliding pizzas off of a peel without having the dough stick or transferring too much flour or corn meal used to keep the pizza from sticking. With the dual peels the pizza can be set down with precise placement, and all but eliminates residual flour or corn meal from being transferred to the stone. After years of making pizza I don’t know why I haven’t picked up on this technique until now. So, aside from the inferior build quality, I much prefer this oven over the Breville Crispy Crust for the dual temperature controls, included temperature gauge, higher cooking temperatures, larger window, and increased clearance between the top heating element and ceramic stone. Overall, given the rich features, impressive performance, and low price point, I highly recommend this oven.

I bought this to replace my Breville pizza oven that I had owned for at least 8-9 years. It was great- but when it was worn out (used it all the time!) I couldn't live without a new one.For the price & great features I thought I would try the Piezano. I used it to at a party & made 12 pizzas. It's fantastic! Worked great! The longer I used it the hotter it got & the pizza started cooking even quicker. Next time i use it I will let it heat up a little longer (maybe 20 minutes?)Wonderful product - GREAT PIZZA maker

WHY...Did I wait so darn long to order this? It is absolutely FANTASTIC! I just made the very best pizza I have ever made. From scratch. And, I did this on the very first try. This thing is like a magic pizza fairy wand. While it only makes a pizza up to 11 inches, you can pop another pizza in no time and feed a small party, no problemo. It really does masterfully cook a pizza in about 6 minutes. Or, you could buy two Piezanos if you have the room to store them. It's totally worth it. This is one outstanding kitchen gadget. It's a hefty, rock solid product. When I pulled it out of the box, I was immediately impressed. It really does mimic a large 800 degree pizza oven. Before I bought mine I was looking at some of the lesser reviews posted here on Amazon. Now I can state that I believe some people simply cannot or will not follow basic instructions. For what this unit is, nobody should give this thing any less than 5 stars. Even if you choose to not make your own pizza from scratch (which is so easy to do with the included recipe booklet), this unit will take your store bought pizza game to another level.If you want to make outstanding pizzas at home, I really do hope you pick one up. I know you'll be ecstatic, like me.

I purchased this because the temperature was high, it could be used indoors and the price was reasonable. I've only made a couple pizzas in this so far. The first pizza I made was a flop. It was a far cry from pizzeria pizza. The second one was much much better as I had a better sauce and the dough rested overnight. I could tell I was on my way to making excellent home pizzas. Home pizzas are a bit of a pain to make, though. Unless you use store bought premade dough and sauce it takes a while to prepare everything. Most pizza dough recipes are about the same, though, consisting of flower, olive oil or honey, salt and yeast. Which ever way you make the dough be sure to let it REST IN THE REFIGERATOR OVER NIGHT. That is the difference between a good tasting dough and a blaaaah dough.The Granitstone pizza oven has its quirks. First, if you have the temperature all the way up to 800 degrees after putting the pizza in it the temperature will show a drop to about 500 degrees and stay there. I don't know if the stone is staying hotter or not as the temperature gauge is measuring the air temperature above the pizza. I also found that you may want to turn the upper burner temperature down a little to keep from burning the top. This is because if your pizza is a little thick or the dough rises much, like mine did, you may find the top burning in spots before the crust is done. I wish the upper element was about an inch or so higher so toppings don't touch it resulting in burnt spots. This also mean you can't cook a deep dish (or even a medium thick) pizza in this oven. But this is a good starter oven to see if you really want to get into cooking pizzas at home. I'm thinking they taste so much better made at home than bought from a pizzeria or frozen.

Bit of a learning curve, but I found out that after 2 minutes, turn the pizza around 180 degrees to get even cooking on the pizza.Makes excellent pizza in 4-6 minutes, that is dependent on your covering ingredients!!!! :)

I previously made pizza weekly and used a pizza stone in the oven but this is a game changer. It heats up so fast and holds the heat so you get a nice crisp crust and everything is nice and melted on top in only a few mins.

It works very well. It heats up to 800 degrees and you can make a pizza in 5 minutes.

This appliance is very efficient for baking a single 12 in diameter pizza and has independently controlled upper and lower heating elements for ensuring good results depending on crust thickness and toppings. I like the viewing window on the top to determine the best cooking time and when to turn the appliance off. Although the appliance comes with 2 bamboo laminated leaves for transferring the pizza to and from the cooking surface I prefer to use a separate light metal tray to ensure efficiency and safety. The cooking surface in the appliance is not suitable for cutting the cooked pizza with a metal wheel and the pizza must be transferred to a separate ceramic wheel to cut and serve. Overall, I find the cooking oven very good for making a pizza for two and have had really good results so far (10 pizzas). I have found that the cooking time for a thin crust pizza, made from scratch, is about 4.5 minutes and I do not open the oven during baking. I also have a really good pair of oven mits which I think you need when opening the appliance to transfer the pizza to and from the oven.

The first thing that really impressed me was the window. I can't imagine cooking a pizza this way without one. No need to constantly open the cover (and lose heat) to see the progress.Then, the two separate heating dials, one for the top, and one for the bottom. Again, not all pizza ovens have this, but this is a winner.Next, the very fast preheat time and that it can reach 800oF. It took only 10 minutes to get to full heat. When it's reached the red lights go out and we're ready to go.Baking for me was only 5 minutes and the pizza turned out perfectly. The bottom crust was crisp and nicely browned, the top was perfect.This morning I made a tuna melt on some homemade bread. I set it to 600oF and put it on parchment paper. That wasn't a useful idea as the paper that extended past the bread burned, but no big deal.I have always made my homemade pizzas in my wall oven at 550 on a pizza stone. That required preheating the stone for almost 50 minutes and then baking was around 8-10 minutes. This little oven does it all in 1/4 of the time and does it perfectly.I understand why this pizza oven is a best seller. The features are terrific and the cook has full control. Highly recommended.Oh, and they also offer a free one-year warranty with registration. Bravo to Piezano!
