Betty Crocker 12-in. Pizza Maker vs PIEZANO Electric Pizza Oven

The Piezano is the better pick for anyone chasing real pizza: a ceramic stone, 800°F top and bottom heat, a window and a sub-6-minute bake get you a crisp, blistered crust. The Betty Crocker is a simpler electric griddle-style baker that handles pizza, quesadillas, nachos and cookies with easy nonstick cleanup, but it bakes soft, pan-style results rather than stone-fired ones. Build on both is basic countertop plastic and metal; the Betty Crocker has a large, well-rated owner base, while the Piezano is newer with fewer owner reports.

• Choose the Betty Crocker if you want one forgiving nonstick appliance for pizza, quesadillas, nachos and cookies, and you prefer soft, even bakes over a crisp stone crust.
• Choose the Piezano if crisp crust matters most and you want high heat, a stone, a viewing window and fast bakes close to a real pizza oven.
