In a restaurant kitchen, flatbreads and tlayudas go onto a surface that has been heating for a long time, so the underside crisps before the top dries out. A home oven usually cannot get that hot, and an outdoor oven means propane, a patio and good weather. An electric pizza oven sits in between: it plugs into the wall, heats a stone from below and an element from above, and several of these models are rated well past what a kitchen range can reach.
This guide covers eight electric pizza ovens, from Breville, Ooni, Chefman, Ninja, BIG HORN, Piezano, Frigidaire and Presto. For each we list the power, the maximum temperature the maker states, the pizza size, controls, stone, whether it is meant for indoor use, and the warranty. Where a maker gives no figure, we say “Not stated” rather than guess. For propane, wood and charcoal ovens, see our best pizza oven guide.

Quick verdict: which electric pizza oven to buy
For most kitchens, the best electric pizza oven is the Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo: rated to 750°F, with a cordierite stone, five pizza presets, a full manual mode and a two-year warranty. If you want the highest stated heat, the Ooni Volt 2 reaches 850°F. The Chefman Indoor Pizza Oven gives 800°F and touchscreen presets at a lower tier, the Ninja Artisan is the electric pick for the patio, and the Presto Pizzazz Plus is the simple choice for frozen pizza.
The table compares the five picks we would steer most cooks toward, one for each kind of buyer. All eight ovens are reviewed in full after it.

Our picks for the best electric pizza oven
These eight ovens run from a rotating tray for frozen pizza to countertop ovens rated at 850°F, plus one electric oven built for outdoors. Each review covers who it suits, the numbers that matter and one honest reason to pass on it.
1. Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo – Brick-Oven Heat on the Counter
The Pizzaiolo is Breville’s dedicated pizza oven, and Breville calls it the first domestic countertop oven to reach 750°F. The listing says it cooks a wood-fired-style pizza in about two minutes, by combining three kinds of heat: conductive heat from elements under a cordierite stone for a charred base, radiant heat from above for a spotted crust, and a reflector shield that keeps the toppings from burning.
Breville’s Element IQ system adjusts the heating elements for each style. There are presets for Wood Fired, New York, Pan, Thin and Crispy, and Frozen, and a manual mode that lets you set the deck and top temperatures and choose which elements run; Breville names two of those modes Crust Only and Even Heat. For a kitchen cook, that manual control is the useful part: you can run a hot deck and a gentler top for a flatbread loaded with beans and cheese.
The listing says a double-pane window and insulation around the heat chamber keep the heat inside and the outside of the oven cooler. Breville gives the size as 18.1 by 18.5 by 10.6 inches, so it needs a clear stretch of counter. A Canadian retailer lists it at 1,800 watts on 120 volts and for 12-inch pizzas; Breville’s own page does not give either figure.
A pizza peel and pan come in the box, and the listing gives a two-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Why we like it
- Rated to 750°F (Breville)
- Five presets plus full manual control (Breville)
- Cordierite stone with elements below (listing)
- Two-year warranty (listing)
Key specifications
| Model | BPZ820BSS |
|---|---|
| Power | 1,800 W, 120 V (retailer) |
| Max temp (stated) | 750°F |
| Pizza size | 12 inches (retailer) |
| Controls | 5 presets; manual deck and top temperature, element selection |
| Stone | Cordierite |
| Indoor use | Yes, countertop oven |
| Warranty | 2 years (listing) |
Why we recommend it
It suits a cook who makes pizza or flatbread often and wants control close to a deck oven without going outside. The manual mode makes it more than a one-trick appliance.
Skip it if counter space is tight or you only bake the occasional frozen pizza; it is large and sits at the top of the price range.
Pros and cons
Pros
- High stated temperature for an indoor oven
- Separate deck and top control
- Peel and pan included
- Longest warranty here
Cons
- Large footprint
- Highest price tier
- Power figure not on Breville’s page
2. Ooni Volt 2 Electric Pizza Oven – Highest Stated Heat Indoors
Ooni built its name on outdoor gas and wood ovens, and the Volt 2 is its electric countertop model. Ooni rates it to 850°F, the highest stated maximum among the indoor ovens here, and it is designed for indoor use only.
The controls are a digital panel with one-touch presets for Neapolitan, Thin and Crispy, and Pan pizza, plus Oven, Broil and Dough-Proofing modes across a range Ooni gives as 70°F to 850°F. A Boost function in Neapolitan mode is meant for a very fast bake, and you can adjust crisping intensity and save two custom presets. Ooni says the oven is ready to cook in 12 minutes.
The floor is a 10 mm (0.4 inch) cordierite stone for 12-inch pizzas, and Ooni gives the oven at 38.8 pounds and 21.5 by 17.4 by 10.4 inches, with a 3.6-inch-high opening. It draws 1,600 watts on 120 volts, according to Ooni.
The warranty is one year as standard, and Ooni extends it to three years if you register within 60 days. When we checked, the Polar White version was in stock on Amazon and another color was not.
Why we like it
- Rated to 850°F (Ooni)
- Pizza presets plus broil and proofing (Ooni)
- Cordierite stone (Ooni)
- Three-year warranty with registration (Ooni)
Key specifications
| Model | UU-P35B00 (Volt 2) |
|---|---|
| Power | 1,600 W, 120 V (Ooni) |
| Max temp (stated) | 850°F |
| Pizza size | 12 inches |
| Controls | Digital presets, oven, broil, proofing, boost, 2 custom presets |
| Stone | Cordierite, 10 mm (0.4 in) |
| Indoor use | Indoor use only (Ooni) |
| Warranty | 1 year; 3 years if registered within 60 days (Ooni) |
Why we recommend it
It suits a cook chasing the soft, blistered crust of a Neapolitan pizza indoors, who wants the most heat a plug-in oven here claims.
Skip it if you need more than a 12-inch floor or plan to use it outside; Ooni says it is for indoor use only.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Highest stated indoor max temperature
- Broil and proofing modes
- Stated 12-minute readiness
- Extended warranty when registered
Cons
- 12-inch limit
- Heavy at 38.8 pounds
- Limited color availability when checked
3. Chefman Indoor Pizza Oven, 12-inch – 800°F With Touchscreen Presets
Chefman’s indoor oven brings the features of the pricier models to a lower tier. The listing says both of its heating elements range from 300°F to 800°F, and the touchscreen offers presets for Neapolitan, New York, Thin-Crust, Pan and Frozen, plus a manual setting.
It cooks 12-inch pizzas on an included stone, and a pizza peel and a digital cookbook come with it. The listing does not state what the stone is made of. Chefman says the double-paned window and high-heat design keep the oven hot for back-to-back pizzas, which matters when you are feeding a family one pie at a time.
The listing gives 1,700 watts on 120 volts, says the oven is cETL approved, and offers a one-year assurance from Chefman, with a PDF user guide on the listing page. This listing is the black (Chefman calls it Stainless Black) finish, the version we found in stock; the stainless steel version was out of stock when we checked.
The listing does not say whether the two elements can be set separately, as they can on the Breville and Piezano, so check the user guide if that matters for the way you cook. The presets handle the balance for the common styles.
Why we like it
- Top and bottom elements, 300°F to 800°F (listing)
- Five touchscreen presets plus manual (listing)
- Stone and peel included (listing)
- cETL approved (listing)
Key specifications
| Model | RJ25-PO12-BLACK |
|---|---|
| Power | 1,700 W, 120 V (listing) |
| Max temp (stated) | 800°F |
| Pizza size | 12 inches |
| Controls | Touchscreen; 5 presets plus manual |
| Stone | Included; material not stated |
| Indoor use | Yes, countertop oven |
| Warranty | 1 year (listing) |
Why we recommend it
It suits a household that wants high heat and presets without spending at the Breville or Ooni level, and bakes one or two pizzas at a time.
Skip it if you want to know exactly what the stone is made of, or need a long warranty; the listing states neither in detail.
Pros and cons
Pros
- High stated heat for its tier
- Five presets plus manual
- Accessories included
- Compact countertop design (listing)
Cons
- Stone material not stated
- One-year coverage
- 12-inch limit
4. Ninja Artisan Electric Outdoor Pizza Oven – Electric Heat for the Patio
The Ninja Artisan is an electric oven built for outdoors: the listing calls it an outdoor appliance and says it is weather resistant, so you can store it outside, though Ninja recommends its cover. It suits a patio where you want pizza without propane or a live flame.
Ninja gives a range of 90°F to 700°F, and the listing says it cooks a 12-inch pizza in about three minutes at 700°F after an 18-minute preheat. It has five pizza settings (Neapolitan, Thin Crust, Pan, New York and Custom) and also bakes, broils, warms and proofs dough at 90°F.
It comes with a 12 by 12-inch pizza stone and a 12 by 12-inch baking pan, and the listing says it fits a 12-inch pizza, six chicken breasts or a large sourdough loaf. That pan makes it useful for sides, such as a tray of roasted chiles while the meat is on the grill.
SharkNinja’s spec list gives 1,760 watts, 120 volts, 15 amps and a 48-inch cord, and the oven weighs 30.83 pounds. Because it draws 15 amps, check which outdoor outlet you plan to use. The warranty is one year limited.
Why we like it
- Electric heat, no flame (listing)
- Weather resistant for outdoor storage (listing)
- Five pizza settings plus bake, broil and proof (listing)
- Stone and baking pan included (listing)
Key specifications
| Model | MO201 |
|---|---|
| Power | 1,760 W, 120 V, 15 A (SharkNinja) |
| Max temp (stated) | 700°F |
| Pizza size | 12 inches |
| Controls | 5 pizza settings; bake, broil, warm, proof |
| Stone | 12 x 12-inch pizza stone; material not stated |
| Indoor use | Sold as an outdoor oven (listing) |
| Warranty | 1 year limited |
Why we recommend it
It suits a cook who wants pizza and baking on the patio without managing gas or a fire, and who has an outdoor outlet to plug into.
Skip it if you want an oven for the kitchen counter; Ninja sells this one as an outdoor appliance.
Pros and cons
Pros
- No flame or fuel to manage
- Stated preheat time
- Many functions beyond pizza
- Can be stored outdoors (listing)
Cons
- Lower max temperature than indoor rivals
- Needs a 15-amp outlet
- Indoor use not covered
5. BIG HORN Indoor Electric Pizza Oven, 14-inch – Room for a 14-inch Pizza
Most electric pizza ovens stop at 12 inches. BIG HORN’s countertop oven takes a 14-inch pizza on an included 14-inch stone, which is the reason to look at it if you bake for a family or want to fit a wide flatbread.
The listing says it preheats in 15 minutes, reaches 850°F at maximum and cooks a 14-inch pizza in about three minutes. It uses what BIG HORN calls PID temperature control, holding a set temperature anywhere from 220°F to 850°F, with upper and lower heating tubes and an 1,800-watt rating.
There are six presets: Manual, Wood Fired, Frozen, New York, Thin Crispy and Deep Dish. BIG HORN says a flip-up design cuts the oven’s footprint by half compared with traditional ovens, which helps on a small counter. A pizza peel comes with it.
The listing does not say what the stone is made of, and it does not state a warranty, so check both before you buy. It is built for 110 to 120 volt outlets.
Why we like it
- 14-inch stone and capacity (listing)
- Stated 850°F maximum (listing)
- PID control from 220°F to 850°F (listing)
- Flip-up design to save space (listing)
Key specifications
| Model | GP9022PRC |
|---|---|
| Power | 1,800 W, 110–120 V (listing) |
| Max temp (stated) | 850°F |
| Pizza size | 14 inches |
| Controls | 6 presets; PID temperature control |
| Stone | 14-inch stone; material not stated |
| Indoor use | Yes, countertop oven |
| Warranty | Not stated |
Why we recommend it
It suits a family that wants a bigger pizza than most countertop ovens allow, at high stated heat.
Skip it if you want a well-documented brand warranty; the listing does not give one.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Largest pizza size here
- High stated temperature
- Stated 15-minute preheat
- Space-saving flip-up design
Cons
- Warranty not stated
- Stone material not stated
- Less-known brand for this category
6. Piezano Electric Pizza Oven, 12-inch – Simple Dials, Ceramic Stone
The Piezano is the simplest true stone oven here. A flat 12-inch stone made of natural ceramic sits under a lid with heating elements, and two knobs set the top and bottom heat separately. A gauge on the lid shows the temperature as it climbs, and a tempered-glass window lets you watch the crust.
The listing says it heats up to 800°F and cooks most pizzas in 4 to 6 minutes, and it reminds you that a standard oven tops out around 450°F. Two wooden pizza peels, a dough scraper and a recipe guide come in the box, and suction-cup feet keep it from sliding on the counter.
The stone lifts out for cleaning. The listing gives 1,200 watts on a standard 120-volt outlet and about 6 pounds, light enough to carry to a patio. It says a manufacturer warranty backs the oven but does not give the term.
For flatbreads, the separate knobs are the useful feature: turn the bottom up to crisp the base of a bean-and-cheese flatbread and keep the top lower so the cheese melts without burning.
Why we like it
- Separate top and bottom heat knobs (listing)
- Natural ceramic 12-inch stone (listing)
- Lid gauge and glass window (listing)
- Two peels and a scraper included (listing)
Key specifications
| Model | 1424 |
|---|---|
| Power | 1,200 W, 120 V |
| Max temp (stated) | 800°F |
| Pizza size | 12 inches |
| Controls | Separate top and bottom knobs; lid gauge |
| Stone | Natural ceramic, removable |
| Indoor use | Yes; listing also mentions a patio |
| Warranty | Manufacturer warranty; term not stated |
Why we recommend it
It suits a cook on a budget who wants a real stone and high stated heat without presets or a screen.
Skip it if you want presets and a timer that do the thinking, or a stated warranty term.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Simple, separate heat control
- Removable stone for cleaning
- Accessories included
- Suction-cup feet (listing)
Cons
- Warranty term not stated
- No presets
- Small 12-inch stone
7. Frigidaire Electric Indoor Pizza Oven – Pizza Oven and Air Fryer in One
Frigidaire’s countertop pizza oven is the pick for someone who wants one appliance to do more than pizza. The listing says it reaches 700°F and bakes a stone-baked 12-inch pizza in less than three minutes, and it adds Air Fry and Oven modes.
There are six preset pizza functions and six air-fry presets, including steak, fries and vegetables. The listing gives a 13-liter capacity that fits pizzas up to 12 inches, and two viewing windows let you check the pizza without opening the door. A peel comes with it.
The listing does not state the wattage, the stone material or the warranty, and a web search did not turn them up on Frigidaire’s site for this model, so those rows say Not stated. Check the listing before you buy.
For a small kitchen that has no room for both a pizza oven and an air fryer, the combination is the selling point.
Why we like it
- Stated 700°F (listing)
- Six pizza presets (listing)
- Air fry and oven modes (listing)
- Two viewing windows (listing)
Key specifications
| Model | FRPO100B |
|---|---|
| Power | Not stated |
| Max temp (stated) | 700°F |
| Pizza size | Up to 12 inches (13 L capacity) |
| Controls | 6 pizza presets; air fry and oven modes |
| Stone | Stone (title); material not stated |
| Indoor use | Yes, countertop oven |
| Warranty | Not stated |
Why we recommend it
It suits a household short on counter space that wants pizza and air frying from one box.
Skip it if you want full specifications before buying; power, stone and warranty are not in the listing.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Two appliances in one
- Many presets
- Two windows to check the bake
- Peel included
Cons
- Wattage not stated
- Warranty not stated
- Lower max temperature than the 800°F ovens
8. Presto Pizzazz Plus Rotating Oven – Turntable for Frozen Pizza
The Presto Pizzazz Plus is a different kind of electric pizza oven. It has no stone and no high-heat claim; instead, a removable nonstick pan sits on a tray that turns continuously between a top and a bottom heating element, so the pizza bakes evenly without any turning by hand.
You choose the top element, the bottom element or both, which lets you crisp the bottom of a frozen crust or brown the cheese. A timer signals when the pizza is done and switches the elements off automatically. Presto says it uses as much as 60% less energy than a conventional oven.
Retailers list it at 1,235 watts and for 7- to 12-inch frozen, homemade or take-and-bake pizzas; Presto’s listing gives the size as 12 inches and a one-year limited warranty.
For a kitchen, the Presto is a reheating and frozen-pizza machine rather than a substitute for a deck oven. It is also handy for quesadillas and nachos, which only need melting and light crisping.
Why we like it
- Rotating tray for even baking (listing)
- Select top, bottom or both elements (listing)
- Timer with automatic shutoff (listing)
- Removable nonstick pan (listing)
Key specifications
| Model | 03430 |
|---|---|
| Power | 1,235 W (retailers) |
| Max temp (stated) | Not stated |
| Pizza size | 12 inches |
| Controls | Element selector; timer with automatic shutoff |
| Stone | None; removable nonstick pan |
| Indoor use | Yes, countertop |
| Warranty | 1 year limited (listing) |
Why we recommend it
It suits anyone who mostly bakes frozen or take-and-bake pizza and wants something simple that does not heat up the kitchen.
Skip it if you want a crisp, blistered crust on fresh dough; with no stone and no stated high temperature, this is not that kind of oven.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Simple to use
- No turning needed
- Timer shuts off the elements
- Easy-clean nonstick pan
Cons
- No stone
- No stated maximum temperature
- Not for high-heat pizza styles
How to choose an electric pizza oven
Electric pizza ovens look alike on the shelf, but a few numbers decide what kind of pizza they can make.
Maximum temperature
The stated maximum among our picks runs from 700°F for the Ninja and Frigidaire to 850°F for the Ooni Volt 2 and BIG HORN; the Presto does not state one. For a thin, blistered crust, look for an oven rated well above a home oven’s range. For frozen pizza or reheating, a high number matters much less.
Separate top and bottom heat
This is the feature a kitchen cook will use most. Being able to set the stone and the top element separately lets you crisp the base of a thick flatbread without burning the cheese, or brown a pan pizza without scorching the bottom. The Breville and Piezano let you do this, and the Presto lets you choose which element runs.
Stone and pizza size
A stone floor gives the crisp, spotted base you get from a deck oven. Cordierite is the material Breville and Ooni name; several other makers include a stone without naming the material. Most electric ovens take a 12-inch pizza; the BIG HORN is the one 14-inch model here.
Power and your outlet
These ovens draw a lot of current. The ratings we found run from 1,235 watts for the Presto to 1,800 watts for the Breville and BIG HORN, and SharkNinja lists the Ninja at 15 amps. Read the manual’s guidance on outlets before you plug in, and keep the oven’s clearances clear.
Indoor or outdoor
Ooni says the Volt 2 is for indoor use only. Ninja sells the Artisan as an outdoor appliance. The others are countertop ovens; the Piezano listing also mentions carrying it to a patio.
Footprint and warranty
The Breville and Ooni are large and heavy; the Piezano and Presto are smaller and simpler. Breville gives two years, Ooni extends to three with registration, and several makers do not state a warranty in their listings.
How we chose these eight ovens
We started from what a restaurant kitchen wants from a hot oven: a surface hot enough to crisp thin dough quickly, heat from above to finish the top, separate control of the two, and room for the size of pizza or flatbread you actually make. We then looked at electric pizza ovens from identifiable brands sold on Amazon in the United States and kept only those showing as in stock when we checked.
Specifications come from the makers where we could read them (Breville and Ooni’s product pages, SharkNinja’s spec list for the Ninja Artisan), from retailers where the maker did not give a figure (the Breville’s wattage and the Presto’s wattage), and otherwise from the Amazon listings. We left out unbranded sellers, near-identical clamshell pizza makers with nonstick plates, and models that were showing low stock or a future availability date, including Cuisinart’s indoor pizza oven and the Ninja Woodfire.
We have not cooked with these ovens for this guide, and we did not draw on outside equipment reviews; everything here comes from the makers, the listings and our kitchen’s view of what an oven needs to do.
What an electric pizza oven can do in a Mexican kitchen
- Tlayuda-style flatbreads: a large tortilla spread with refried beans, quesillo and toppings crisps fast on a hot stone. Tlayudas come from Oaxaca; our regional Mexican cuisines guide explains where they fit.
- Quesadillas and molletes: anything that needs a crisp base and melted cheese suits an oven with separate top and bottom heat.
- Roasted chiles and tomatoes: a small pan under the top element blisters them for salsa, as a broiler would.
- Reheating: a stone revives leftover pizza and tortillas better than a microwave; our guide on how to reheat Mexican leftovers covers the rest.
Electric pizza oven questions, answered
What is the best electric oven for pizza?
For most kitchens, the Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo, for its 750°F rating, cordierite stone and manual control of deck and top heat. If you want the highest stated temperature indoors, the Ooni Volt 2 is rated to 850°F.
Are electric pizza ovens as good as gas or wood ovens?
The best indoor models here are rated between 750°F and 850°F, while the outdoor gas and wood ovens in our best pizza oven guide are mostly rated to 950°F. Electric ovens trade some heat for convenience: no fuel, no weather, and a plug in the kitchen.
Can I just use a pizza stone or steel in my regular oven?
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to improve home pizza. A preheated steel or stone crisps the base far better than a thin pan. See our best oven pizza pan guide for steels, stones and pans.
Do electric pizza ovens use a lot of electricity?
They draw a lot while heating, from about 1,235 to 1,800 watts in the ratings we found, but they heat a much smaller space than a full oven. Presto, for example, says its Pizzazz Plus uses as much as 60% less energy than a conventional oven.
Can I use an electric pizza oven outside?
Only if the maker says so. Ninja sells the Artisan as an outdoor oven and the Piezano listing mentions carrying it to a patio, while Ooni says the Volt 2 is for indoor use only.
What do Wirecutter, Serious Eats and America’s Test Kitchen recommend?
We did not consult their reviews for this guide, so we cannot speak for them. Everything here comes from maker specifications and Amazon listings, read from a restaurant kitchen’s point of view.
Our final pick for the kitchen counter
Buy the Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo if you want the most control indoors and a two-year warranty. Choose the Ooni Volt 2 for the highest stated heat, the Chefman for high heat and presets at a lower tier, the Ninja Artisan for electric pizza on the patio, and the Presto Pizzazz Plus for frozen pizza with no fuss.
