Absolutely Fantastic Product
I initially ordered one of these for a relative who entertains a lot, and thought it would come in handy for them. I then later thought about it, and realized this *might* be handy for me/my family too. So…of course, I had to order one.I really had minimal expectations for this product. I knew it obviously cooked pizzas and possibly other little frozen items. I had no idea that I would literally use it all the time. Every day.I have 2 kids who love pizza and enjoy snacks like mozzarella sticks, fish sticks, and other frozen food items that you might typically throw in an oven when you are crunched for time. These are obvious items that can be used easily on this product, and it certainly delivers. It is incredibly simple to use. You plug it in, throw whatever you want to cook on it, and set the timer. You don’t waste time preheating. There is no heat adjustment, but it cooks it perfectly. It rotates while cooking, and my kids get a kick out of watching it cook right in front of them. It cooks pizza (even the cheapie junk ones) into perfection. I have made countless homemade pizzas and it makes them perfect every time. Reheating your pizza on it refreshes it to its former glory. Once the timer is done, it stops heating the product (but simply keeps rotating), so you don’t burn your food if you get distracted for a minute or 2.What I was not counting on is all the other items we would end up cooking on it. I enjoy making homemade cookies and cinnamon rolls from scratch with my kids, and (so long as they are not large or rise too tall) we are able to cook those with ease, too. I am a vegetarian (mostly vegan), and I can cook my veggie patties and other veggie products on it, and they don’t come out soggy like they do sometimes in a microwave. You can add things to your food while it is cooking, and you can see for yourself whether it is done or not (or burnt). Leftovers from a restaurant reheat perfectly on it, too. No more nuking food with a microwave.The cons to this product: You have to watch to make sure you aren’t cooking something too tall or close to the heating element (think dough that rises up too high, etc). When I make cookies, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, or anything doughy on it, I make them small or squash them down a little so they don’t rise too high.Another con is that if you have a super large pizza, this won’t accommodate it. The circular pan thingy it cooks on will cook a standard large pizza (like standard frozen pizza size), but no larger. That said, the product would probably take up too much space if it were any bigger, which leads me to my next con…yes, it is a little bulky if you do not have space for it.While you can certainly burn yourself on it, as with anything, you have to use a little common sense and keep it out of reach from little hands. That said, it is not as drastic of heat and the risk of harming yourself should you touch it is MUCH less than if you were messing with an oven. I have used this product every day (unless we are out of town) for about 15 months straight, and with minimal care, I can’t recall a time that I burned myself, and I rarely have to wear oven mitts since I can just grab a spatula and get it off easily onto a plate straight from the pan. My kids have never burned themselves on it either. I always supervise them if they want to add something on whatever we are cooking (which they love to participate in), and they know to be careful. I always worry with an oven, but with a little caution, I really don’t worry much with this item. I can touch my finger quickly on the pan while it is rotating and not hurt myself (as long as I pull my finger off right away). Could I do that with an oven and not hurt myself? Uh, no.Cleaning it is a breeze, too. Overall, we love it so much that our microwave hardly ever gets used and our oven is reserved for larger items, like casseroles and other larger home-cooked items.I would recommend this for anyone and everyone, and not just for the pizza lover. It is not expensive, and I would imagine this would be a great gift for the average college student.

Great product! Easy to use. Saves energy by avoiding preheating an oven.
Game changer for saving energy and time by no longer needing to preheat the oven. You can put a frozen pizza on as is and it cooks just as fas as if it was a preheated oven. Somehow it heats the food without heating up the kitchen. No more wasting heat having to look in the oven to check if it is done enough because it is right there in front of you. Great for all food that is not too tall to fit under the heating element as it goes around. For example: Kingâs Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls are too tall to fit.

Variable cooking controls
I usually do not write many reviews, but I wanted to with this product. I am so happy with this pizza maker, my pizzas turn out tasty with the perfect crust! I love that you can control the cooking times for the crust and the toppings separately or together! Easy clean up and since it sits right on the counter, you get to watch it cook. Donât pass up this pizza maker, worth every penny I paid for it.

Not much of a cook?
I went a few years without a working oven or stove in my house and it wà s not too big a loss because I am not much of a cook and was perfectly content to using the microwave to heat up my food. However, there are just some foods that can’t be microwaved and my most favorite is frozen pizza. Over the years, the variety and quality of frozen pizza has gone way up and some grocery store pizzas taste better, are cheaper and healthier than restaurant style. However, all of these pizzas have one thing in common. They demand the use of an oven to bake, just not for the benefit of taste, but for food safety reasons as well. Instead of buying a full blown oven and having the hassle of hooking it up, plus the headache of electricity bills, I opted for this Presto oven. For my very first oven baked pizza, I bought the Walmart Philly and cheese. I read the directions and it was simple to use. And easy. The while room started to smell heavenly of a pizza parlor that I used to work at. It worked great, toasting the pizza to my discretion and the size is perfect. I even saved some pizza for breakfast and it still tasted great! If you’re a basic, non hassle type of eater, then this is perfect. It’s easy to clean too. Be careful not to burn yourself though when pulling off the rotating pan! It’s a lifesaver though, I can bake my pizzas again and probably a lot more as well!

WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD AND MORE!
This is a must have in any household that wants a great machine to make pizza, whether it’s homemadefrom scratch or frozen pizza. It made garlic knots and pretzels, (ready to bake) really easy as well.French fries, from fresh frozen works pretty good as well. Lots of possibilities, with minimal time and great results. The clean up is quick and easy and doesn’t heat up the kitchen. This product does what it saysit can do, and more! Highly recommend!

I love this pizza cooking machine easy to use and clean, no need to preheat , and with the top and bottomelements which are controlled individually you can cook your pizza just the way you like it.
by JUDITH
Muy práctico para recalentar comidas, derrite el queso delicioso, calienta por arriba y por abajo, lo que seria bueno es aumentarle temperatura, pero también esta bien asÃ.Se podrÃa aumentar una pequeña reja en la parte de arriba por seguridad ya que lo que calienta esta descubierto.

De uso súper fácil y hornea parejo.

Buy it!!! I looked at the reviews and was happy to see people still using their Presto Pizzazz 8-10 years later! I searched for anyone who made a fresh pizza and not just frozen and couldnât find but the reviews were so great I bought it! Our delicious homemade pizza crust is normally cooked on a 16 inch pan so this bad boy was a very thick crust! We absolutely loved it ! It was fun to watch happening and the taste was incredible ! You can take this thing anywhere too – itâs not heavy at all – camping pizza yes please!!! We are always posting our food on facebook – we had so many comments on this one and of course people asking if better than oven! Not about being better than oven but you donât preheat and it uses less power and cooks in same time frame so you actually save money by using this !! BUY IT!!! ps Put a video up of time lapse to show pizza cook!

This Pizza maker became my favorite kitchen appliance in one day! I did grilled cheese bagel, garlic bread, frozen French fries, also melted chocolate cookies! All turned out perfect. It’s amazing to watch how it rotates your food and everything is getting done how you like it. Especially like the feature of switching heating elements from dual to top or bottom only. Total control of doneness as you watch it. It’s not going to leave our counter top!
