Know before you buy
Yes, the Pizzaiolo is specifically engineered to reach 400°C (752°F), which is the temperature required to achieve the authentic leopard-spotted char of a Neapolitan-style pizza. It uses a high-powered heating element and a ceramic stone deck to replicate the intense environment of a traditional wood-fired oven.
Because it reaches very high temperatures, it is designed for indoor use but should be placed on a heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance. Ensure there is at least 10cm of space on all sides and avoid placing it directly under low-hanging cabinets to allow for proper heat dissipation.
Absolutely. The oven features seven preset functions and a manual mode, allowing you to adjust the heat distribution for different styles, including New York, thin and crispy, or pan pizzas. You can control the intensity of the top and bottom elements to suit your preferred crust and topping finish.
The oven typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes to fully preheat and saturate the ceramic stone deck. This ensures the base of your pizza cooks evenly and achieves the desired crispness as soon as it hits the surface.
The ceramic stone is designed to be a permanent part of the oven's cooking system to ensure consistent heat retention. You should not submerge it in water; instead, simply scrape off any burnt food residue once the stone has completely cooled.
The oven accommodates pizzas up to 30cm (11.8 inches) in diameter. This size is ideal for individual or shared pizzas, fitting perfectly on the included stone deck.
