FAQ

Questions, answered straight

Do indoor pizza ovens need special wiring?

No, all four indoor ovens here plug into a standard kitchen outlet. They draw high power while heating, so avoid sharing the outlet with another high draw appliance on the same circuit during preheat, and follow the manual for clearance around the oven.

Can indoor pizza ovens bake frozen pizza?

Yes, and they do it far better than a normal oven. Use the frozen preset where one exists, as on the Breville, or a moderate temperature with a longer bake on ovens without a frozen setting. Frozen pizzas still need the stone preheated for a crisp base.

How much counter space does an indoor pizza oven need?

More than the oven footprint suggests, because the manual requires clearance on the sides and above for heat. Measure your counter depth and the height to any cabinet above, and leave the clearance the manual states, especially for the Breville and Piezano at high heat.
