Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo: Perfectly Cooked Pizzas Every Time

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: This was the Best money I’ve spent on my pizza hobby. I’ve tried different outdoor ovens in the sun $700 range In both wood and gas , and this puts them both to shame. Pizzas are effortless with this oven. The first pies that came out were better than anything I’d pulled out of my other oven. Cooks perfectly with preset settings. Easy easy easy. Wish I’d bought this oven first.

Linda: Love how the package includes most everything to make a great at=home pizza.
The oven, the pan, stone and peel.
Made my first pan pizza last night and it was a breeze to do. Came out just as I'd hoped.
I'll be making many many pizzas in the future.

Mark AdlerMark Adler: How did I ever live without a pizza oven? This thing is awesome. Accurate, consistent temperature control. Good window with a view to keep an eye on the pizza in few minutes it takes to cook. Nice metal tray with a handle to slide the pizza in, and to get it out. (Make sure you put a lot of flour on that thing, so that the pizza actually slides!) And the pizzas! To die for. It's like straight out of a wood-fired brick oven in Naples.

My only complaint is that it is hard to get in there for cleaning. I would have liked it better if it opened up more, maybe with a big lid on the top somehow, to be able reach all the innards. Though that would have compromised the heat insulation, which is key for the consistent temperature across the inside of the oven. Maybe that was a good engineering trade, but it's difficult to clean. I suppose I could just live with some carbonized food remants in there, since it doesn't really affect the function.

Yes, this thing is pricey. But for me, if it lasts for ten years or more, and I can't see why it wouldn't, it was totally worth it. It will go on sale for $800 from time to time, so I put it on camelcamelcamel, waited for the deal, and...

mike892: Makes exceptional italian style pizzas.

Pizzas in the oven just do not compare, they are slower and lower heat.

I like the wood fired pizza mode best at 750F. Once it gets up to temperature, it makes pizzas pretty quickly. I am not super stingy with dough, sauce and toppings, so the default time need to be increased to cook well.

Only downside is the carbs you want to add to your life.

SvanhildurSvanhildur: I love this oven. I’ve spent years trying to achieve the crust that this oven produces. Having tried several other pizza “ovens”, such as a stovetop oven, the Weber grill oven, a baking steel and numerous pizza stones, I did not think it was possible to get anything close to a VPN type pizza in my kitchen. I live in an apartment so the Ooni and other wood pellet or gas ovens were not an option. I know it is expensive but this is one purchase that I feel was worth the money.

There is a tiny bit of smoke when you first put the pizza in because of the flour/semolina mix that you use on the pizza peel but it didn’t set off my super sensitive smoke detector. I used the recipe for the Neapolitan pizza dough and the Wood Fired setting and it worked great.

I had been looking at this oven for more than a year and finally decided to buy it. My only regret is I didn’t buy it sooner.
