An electric countertop pizza oven uses top and bottom heating elements, and most add a stone, to bake a pizza far quicker than a standard oven. Some reach 800°F or more, which the makers say gives a crisp crust in a few minutes. Others are simpler rotating or plain heated ovens with a lower temperature range.
The six ovens below cover 12, 14 and 16-inch sizes plus a classic rotating model. Sizes, temperatures and accessories come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these ovens ourselves. Time and crust claims are the makers’ own.
