I love your thorough and honest explanation of each pizza tested. I really appreciate these kinds of reviews. Thank you!

Great video, thanks. Hint about pan pizza. Cast iron takes awhile to heat up but then maintains the heat well. Put your pan pizza with dough on your stove burner for 3 mins on medium high. Then put the pan in the oven. This way the bottom crust gets a head start towards crispy.😊 Just purchased my pizza oven & would love to see more videos from you.

This is one of the most informative and instructive reviews of a kitchen gadget I've seen in quite some time, Well done sir. In context, for a sub $300 pizza machine that can make pizzas this good is truly amazing. One thing to add, the Black Stone cast iron pan pizza maker is perfect for this pizza maker and comes with a cast iron handle to easily insert and remove it, and a thrivet to set it on. It's a must have if you like deep dish Chicago or Detroit style. I've made every style pizza with this, and thanks to your video, it cut the learning curve exponentially. Thank you!

I got one of these for Christmas, and it's adorable. lol. Works great, too. My experience has been that the more I use it, the less the crust burns. The very first time I used it, I burned the hell out of my crust. I will say that the Frozen function isn't ideal for all frozen pizzas. Sometimes I'll buy a Red Baron Brick Oven crust when I'm feeling lazy, and rather than use the Frozen preset, I'll set it to 600f on bottom and 650 on top. Dust the bottom of the pizza with a little bit of King Arthur bread flour and it comes out amazing. I just eyeball the doneness and rotate it a couple times.

Nice review. Another channel that reviewed this oven had trouble baking a neopolitan style pizza. The upper element cycled on and off and they didn't think it produced enough heat for that type of pizza, but yours looked pretty good. Did it seem like the upper element stayed on when you were baking your neopolitan? Does using the timer make a difference?

Very true

For pan pizza, the cheese and sauce need to be all the way to the edge, and to get some really nice 'frico' around the edge, you should use a good quantity of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano all around the edge, filling in any empty space. That will give you the crunchy edge you are looking for.

Hey, thanks so much for the video. We've had pretty good luck setting the bottom temperature to 650°, and the top to 800. That said, we're getting a great rise, but we're not getting the same browned and crispy crust that you are. We're cooking for 3 minutes, and would let it go longer, except the cheese (fresh mozzarella) is starting to get a little overdone at 3 minutes. Any thoughts? Are you able to get a consistently crispy crust? Thanks!

It's not going to do a true 60-90 sec neapolitan but it still gets results I'm extremely happy with. Including delivery it cost less than a pizza steel.

Great review. Will consider getting this. Have u tried a cast iron pan for grilling steak? Obviously the high temp sears the steak. Amazon does have the 1 inch cast iron circular pan that's used by restaurants. For pan pizzas, restaurants do par cook the bottom and then flip it so that the top crust doesn't get soggy when u put on the sauce&toppings/cheese. Little Caesars' conveyor electric oven has that nuked look when u melt cheese inside a microwave as the heat isn't contained causing heat loss&leaks as the pizza pan goes thru. Seems like the pizza stone focuses that heat. Their gas oven actually cooks great&u can tell the difference between electric vs gas ovens.
