Know before you buy
Yes, it reaches a maximum temperature of 750°F. This high heat, combined with the Element IQ system, allows it to replicate the intense conductive, radiant, and convective heat necessary to cook a pizza in about two minutes.
You can cook a variety of styles. The oven features seven presets for specific types like New York, thin and crispy, or pan pizza, and includes a manual mode if you want to dial in your own heat settings.
The unit measures 18.1" wide by 18.5" deep and 10.6" high. Because it generates significant heat, you should ensure you have adequate clearance around the sides and top for proper ventilation.
The oven features a double-pane heat-resistant window and high-quality insulation to keep the exterior temperature manageable. However, it is still a high-heat appliance, so the outer surfaces will get warm during operation.
The Pizzaiolo comes with a dedicated pizza peel for sliding pizzas in and out, as well as a pizza pan for styles that require a container, such as deep-dish or pan pizzas.
The oven operates at 1800 watts. While it runs on a standard household outlet, it is a high-draw appliance, so it is best to plug it directly into a wall outlet rather than using an extension cord or power strip.
