Why do I need this? 🤔

If you don’t like having to wait for your oven to preheat to get your pizza cooking, this little guy can help you get dinner on the table pretty darn quick.

It’s also slim and compact so when you’re done with dinner, you just tuck it away. If you have a small kitchen, its size makes it more convenient than a toaster oven.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 5,600 enthusiastic pizza lovers have given this device a five-star rating, sharing that they use it day after day.

Pros 👍

“Better than putting a pizza in the oven,” shared a rave reviewer. “You don’t heat up your kitchen and waste a bunch of electricity every time you make a pizza. My favorite small appliance (other than the toaster oven/air fryer) for sure.” They even let us in on other goodies they’ve made with it, like “cinnamon rolls and other baked delights.”

This shopper said it works great: “Suggested cooking time was greater than what we needed, but otherwise works like a charm. Way better than the oven. We put the dough directly on the cooking surface and then added sauce and toppings…”

Curious about more possibilities? Another creative customer shared even more uses for the versatile pizza oven for “omelettes, pancakes and quesadillas.”

If you’re concerned about another kitchen gadget in your cabinets, don’t be. One five-star fan wrote: “This pizza maker is so awesome, I highly recommend it. We’re also truck drivers and have limited space so the fact that it’s not very big makes it easy to store away when it’s not in use.”

“It is not just another kitchen gadget to take residency on the kitchen countertop,” validated another five-star reviewer. “It has earned its place. It is used at least 3-4 times a week or more. Cooks our pizzas quickly and evenly. It is easy to use and keep clean.”

Cons 👎

If you love a crunchy or crispy slice of pizza, however, some shoppers mention that the oven doesn’t get hot enough for their preferred texture. “All in all, it was a good small pizza maker for the price, but it’s unfortunately too cold for a good fresh crispy pizza,” one shopper said, calling out that it doesn’t have a temperature control option.

A second shopper did find a way around it, though: “The top of the pizza comes out well cooked and bubbly, but not brown. You’d have to supplement with a few minutes under the broiler to give a brown top to the pizza,” notes a second shopper.

Want to round out your pizza-making kit? 35,000+ Amazon shoppers rave about the Kitchy Pizza Cutter.

“My new favorite kitchen utensil!” reported a rave reviewer. “Cuts like butter, easy to use and take apart for cleaning. Didn’t get all gunky like my other pizza cutters have in the past. Pizza, quesadillas, grilled cheese… It cuts it all SO easily!”

And if you want to make clean-up a snap, these top-selling parchment paper circles fit just right in the pizza maker.

“These 12-inch round parchment sheets are tremendously useful for lining the pizza pan,” shared one of over 6,000 five-star fans. “It makes cleanup a cinch! I primarily use them when reheating pizza, so it’s perfect for catching any cheese that melts over the crust. They also absorb much of the oil/grease. If you like easy, these precut sheets are great.”
