    Breville Pizzaiolo Pizza Oven

    he Smart Oven Pizzaiolo by Breville (model BPZ800) is an attention-getter. It promises to reach up to 750 degrees—about 30 percent hotter than most home ovens. This means that just 30 minutes after you plug in the Pizzaiolo, you can be sitting down to homemade pizza that rivals the pizzas served at top thin-crust and Neapolitan pizza joints. To test this oven, we made five kinds of pizza (frozen, pan, thin-crust, thin-crust loaded with toppings, and Neapolitan) using the various settings intended for each style. We also used it to roast vegetables.
