PC0601 Pizzeria Pronto Stovetop Pizza Oven

Making pizza at home has never gone all that well in my house. The crust always turned out spongy and not even slightly crunchy and it never looked all that appetizing, so we almost never did it.Enter: Pizzacraft Pizzeria ProntoI got this thing on a deal, but now that I have it I would've happily paid what it goes for normally. Set up is fairly easy (assemble it on top of your stove and lock it in place with the small included cable so that it can't slide). Turn on the flame (you have to have a "real" stove, no electric here), let it heat up and in goes your pizza! My stove isn't all THAT powerful so it "only" gets up to about 580 for me which is low on the "pizza making zone" on the included thermometer but that does plenty to get a nice crispy crust.That said, a few notes/suggestions:1. Be careful not to let cheese/toppings fall off on to the pizza stone (it will burn and crust itself on to the pizza stone, you can scrape it and get it off but it becomes a bit of a hassle.).2. Be sure to use corn meal on the bottom of your crust. It REALLY helps the crust be able to move around on the pizza peel and the pizza stone. Be careful not to use TOO much though, it will start to burn and smoke if you use too much. I've found a happy medium now and it works quite well.3. I recommend grabbing the pizzacraft pizza peel, its the perfect size to be able to slide right under any pizza in this oven and folds nicely forstorage).4. Make your own dough. You don't realize the difference it makes until you have a piece of your homemade dough next to the store bought stuff and see the difference.Either way: BUY THIS THING! It's wonderful and produce some great pizza. I can't wait to experiment with various different recipe ideas in this thing.

Great product makes great pizza (okay I made great pizza the oven only bakes it.) The high temp it reaches and stones make a crispy pizza crust. I have first tried reheating pizza from our favorite pizza place and it was great like it just came out of his oven. We then bought store crust and my kids made their own pizza. The only thing I dislike is the stone sticks and when cheese gets on it burns and can't get it off. It gets very hot so watch what is next to it. The heat browned the silicone mats that go between counter and stove on mine. I was ordered never to use the end burners with this again.

This did not come with the screws or wire it was supposed to have to put the handle on. I emailed the company and they said I could call them. I can't call the 800 number because I live in Japan. I wrote back about that and haven't heard from them. I have tried using it on my gas stove and it NEVER gets to the 500 degrees! The stone is hard to clean. I wish I never bought this.Also, it doesn't come with an instruction manual we had to go on YouTube to figure it out.

When this thing is on sale at Amazon the price is downright silly. For less than the price of a Pizza Steel and not much more than a pizza stone you get a whole pizza oven that includes a pizza stone. If you have a gas stove, read no further and buy this. Some comment that is is unforgiving. Go Try an Ooni if you want to know unforgiving. On an Ooni is you don't keep the wood pellets flowing at the right pace or properly manage your chimmney your pizza will taste like soot. Yes you have to watch your pizza and like just about every pizza oven you need to turn the pizza once during the cook but unless you are comparing this to a toaster oven, this is easier to use than most alternatives. If you cook at high temperature your margin of error in terms of time is smaller. The rules of physics apply to this oven and every other oven. THis oven is well put together, smartly engineered, not overly bulky, gives you very good pizza and unlike making pizza in an oven does not require 30 minutes of prehearing to get the stone hot. This would 4 star product if it was priced at full retail of $180.00 at current prices its a five star value. Bravo PiazzaCraft and Amazon.
