Prefer the gas fired ones flames etc
I prefer wood/jarrah fired.
i prefer 5 hours of spare time
@Mokr: đ đ
Well I worked as a chef for 8 years and did 1½ years on pizza section. Woodfired was best followed by gas.
And yeah, at home it does take 2 hours to get my ghetto wood fired pavement slab oven going but it's nice to sit by it with a beer
so whats the difference between this and your oven in the kitchen…?
Gets much hotter, much faster.
The heat in particular is needed for making Neapolitan style pizza for example.
500c is much higher than an oven can reach. This means the pizza can cook, while the crust remains fluffy (Neapolitan style). It should take about 90 seconds to cook
This Breville goes up to 400°C, which is not bad if consistent, but it does make a difference compared to 500 you said.
And a nice step up from the regular 250-270°C oven, like you said.
@pizzaguy: I have the MasterPro that goes on sale for like $80 fairly regularly and that heats the stone to 440C, which I confirmed myself with a dual laser meter set to the correct coefficient.
@umexcuseme: Oh wow. Can it sustain that temperature or, like most of electric ovens, it reaches the temperature, switches off for some time and then heats up again?
That switching off is terrible in electric ovens and makes it not consistent enough for me to make pizzas quickly.
I have no idea if Breville does it too.
@pizzaguy: I also own a MasterPro and honestly for the price, it's great - a noticeable step up from most domestic ovens. That said, it just can't turn out pizzas like the ones the Breville or the Ooni Volt can, partially due to design (the clamshell lets a LOT of heat out every time it's opened) and partially due to the Breville and the Ooni being able to maintain the temperature more consistently.
I'm looking at upgrading at the moment, Breville is certainly on the cards.
@pizzaguy: Yeah, checked it myself with the IR gun.
It does do that thing where it heats up and then stops when it reaches the temp you set. I've only done 2 pizzas in a row with it so not sure if it would be good for you if you're making many pizzas in a row. FYI I use the #4 power setting out of 5 and each pizza takes 4 mins to cook.
ok gotcha
Most home ovens heat up to 250 degrees C. To make a Neapolitan style pizza you need to be at closer to 400 degrees so you can turn out a pizza in 1.5-2 minutes. This oven is capable of that. In addition you can independently control the bottom element, the top inner element and the top outer element, to have full control over how the bottom, topping and crust are baked. Basically if youâre a bit nerdy/particular about how you like your pizza done this oven is very different to your average home oven.
your oven can't make you a proper pizza but this thing can
How does a guy called Mario not know how to cook a pizza
i dont have a problem in the oven cooks well top and bottom in the gas oven. I couldnt justify spending $800 odd dollars for making pizza 1 or 2 a month
smartass…LOL
jb or harvey will beat it by 10% soo would be cheaper
$728.19
Pizzas should be cooked on stone at ~300°C.
Kitchen ovens normally heat from the top/back and only get to around 260 degrees
yeah its a pretty good pizza oven for the price.
Seriously , that's a good price !
More like more money than brains.Not really, it's built to do one job very very well and it does, it's rated highly by professional chefs as a home appliance if you don't want to build a full brick oven outdoors
Lots of engineering, small market = High price.
It's really for a pretty specific market of it's something you're after then it is a good price
This is Ozbargain. More money than brains should be the motto.
Not really any different to $2k coffee machines. If you use it enough it makes sense, and if I had one I'd probably be doing friday night pizzas every week, it's very quick, simple and you get near woodfire pizza at a fraction of the price.
I'm planning a woodfire oven at home sometime in the next couple of years. $900 is a pretty good way of testing out whether I actually want to eat pizza that often to justify it. Granted, I'd use a proper wood oven to bake a lot more stuff too.
have you seen what a good pizza oven costs? 1000s of dollars. We aren't talking about some piece of crap from kmart that is 50 bucks.
i wish it was though
I paid $1300ish at Hardly Normal with an extended replacement pack during COVID times, but this Pizza oven lives up to it, Neapolitan pizza or naan bread are so good on it. I don't prefer to eat takeaway pizzas after these. Hopefully Gozney or Ooni soon for outdoor.
How easy is it to clean?
The only thing that needs to be cleaned is the stone, which can be removed and scrubbed quickly with jif. If youâre a bit unco and drop a topping inside it somewhere it might be hard to retrieve but whatever falls in will be turned into pure carbon after one bake anyway.. this thing heats up to the kind of temps some ovens use as their âpyrolitic cleaningâ cycle.
I wouldn't recommend scrubbing it with Jif, unless you thoroughly rinse it afterwards. The stone is porous, so you may end up having pizzas with some baked Jif residue.
Bbq scrubber (a metal brush) is fine.
@pizzaguy: The bottom is porous but the top is glazed so it doesnât absorb detergent in my experience. Itâs also not very thick so Iâd be careful with how much pressure you apply to it. But yeah generally laying it on a tea towel and a quick scrub with something abrasive is enough to clean off any baked on char.
I'd seen a friends it had seem poorly vented with all smoke flowing from the front and causing stains up the front of the appliance that took he ages to clean.
Plus trying to clean the over glass looked like a nightmare so it had deterred me getting one.
Pizza was good though.
What is the size of the Costco pizza? Can fit in this oven?
costco pizza is massive.
definitely will NOT fit.
even some of woolworths pizzas won't fitAn oven like this is overkill for heating precooked or frozen pizza. Its good value if youâre trying to replicate Neapolitan or New York style pizzas from scratch at home though.
that one is gas.
Though there is the Hizo E12 electric: https://www.kegland.com.au/products/hizo-e12-electric-pizza-âŚ
Both the Breville and the Hizo have only a 12-inch stone. Whilst a 12-inch pizza is a good size, it needs a 13-14-inch stone to be able to get it in and out comfortably.
So it's fine for 10-11" pizzas.
I'm saving my pennies for the Effeuno 509…
with Biscotto stone..
As an alternative, upcoming aldi outdoor gas pizza oven may tempt.

Still think I'll buy the hizo but interestingI had a Masterpro that started shorting. Did some research, decided to go with a similar model from Kegland. It had an issue so I returned it in person. The guy there suggested I try their new Hizo electric 12 inch oven for another $100. I thought why not? Iâd seen the new Ooni electric for $1100 and this was $200. Looked well built. I wanted electric so I didnât have to fiddle with wood or deal with the added extras associated with gas. Itâs been great, very happy to this point. I can recommend.
Nice! This happens to be Choice's #1 rated pizza oven.
