- What pizza styles can it bake?
- It has presets for Neapolitan, New York, pan and frozen pizza, plus a manual mode. The 750°F top heat is aimed at fast Neapolitan-style bakes.
- How big a pizza fits?
- The cavity takes pizzas up to 12 inches. Larger pies will not fit, so plan on personal and small-share sizes.
- Does it need special wiring?
- No. It runs on standard 120V household power at 1800 watts, so a normal countertop outlet works.
- How is it different from a regular home oven?
- It reaches 750°F, far hotter than a typical oven, and controls top and bottom heat separately. That gives faster bakes and more char than a home oven with a stone.
- Is it hard to clean?
- The stone and interior need scraping and wiping after use, and high-heat bakes can spatter. Expect more upkeep than a standard oven.
- Who is it not for?
- Casual cooks who bake pizza rarely, or anyone short on counter space, may find a stone in a home oven enough.
