Pizza lovers best friend.

Even after reading all the reviews I was still skeptical The price was a factor but not a huge one so I bought the Presto Pizzazz as a middle of the road choice. Lucky me. This thing is everything it says it is. They all do pizza, probably very well or at least ok. This one does pizza like you get at the pizzaria. Easy operation, rotating pan, chiming timer it will bake or heat any snack you desire. Very pleased with the purchase. This is perfect for frozen pizzas, pizza rolls, nachos, wings, potato skins or whatever you need to bake or heat. I love pizza, this will bake or reheat to perfection. Money well spent.

Amazing what you can cook and reheat with it

This is a replacement for the one I bought 12 years ago. Almost daily use. Amazing what you can cook and reheat with it, all without oil or heating up the oven on my stove or hauling out and cleaning the deep fryer. Huge Tip: Use a standard round thin cookie sheet that fits on top of the rotating carrossel like a glove. It will become seasoned much like a cast iron skillet and easily removed and cleaned with each use. The carrossel that comes with the unit will get ruined if you wash it in a dishwasher a couple of times or become impossible to clean after many uses. The cookie sheet will keep the carrossel like new with no noticeable loss of heating properties.

Almost perfect homemade pizza cooker

I love this thing and can't believe I waited for so long to ever buy one. I love making my own homemade veggie pizzas. I buy the ultra thin crusts at Dollar Tree (Amazon sells them also but at a ridiculous price). It does a great job of cooking the pizza evenly. I've got a few gripes with it (but not enough to dock off any stars): - No on/off switch. You literally have to unplug it in order to stop it from rotating (the heat will turn off by timer though). My solution is to plug it in with an outlet adapter with an on/off switch. - Despite the manufacturers claims, it does not cook pizza any faster than an in oven. It seems to be about the same amount of time. - I wish the upper heating element could be tilted up in order to more easily remove the pizza when it's finished since it should not make contact with the heating element. - The pan can be difficult to mount on the spindle, can be kinda frustrating. - The pan has a connecting mount on the bottom in the center of it that sticks out farther than the edges of the pan. So it does not lay flat and tilts a little to the sides. This can be a little annoying when trying to make your own pizza. Other than those frustrations, I love the thing and will use it a lot. I haven't tried cooking anything else besides pizza on it like others have, but I will update my review when I do if there's anything relevant to add.

The Best and Convenient Pizza Oven I Had Since 2007...and Most Underrated

I bought this oven in 2007 and it is still working great. I bought another one just in case this one broke and before Presto discontinued this item. I like a crispy bottom crust (almost burnt like the brick fired oven types) so I run my Pizzazz for 10 minutes with just the bottom element heating the pizza. Then I run it normally with top and bottom elements on for the usual amount of time...maybe a few minutes less than what the pizza box recommendation. Self rising crust pizzas are a little tricky with this machine but by cooking it longer with just the bottom element, it seems to also do the trick. Even though I bought a Ninja Foodi that can do all my other air frying needs which could be done with this machine, the Pizzazz is still a keeper because nothing else portable can do pizzas. If you like to bake and eat frozen pizzas at home, this is a must buy.

Reheats food & preserves crispiness

I saw a friend with this widget so I purchased one too. It heats up food that's been cooked previously like french fries & pizza, & preserves their crispiness. It comes already assembled, all that's needed is to clean the food holder & it's ready. I thought the food holder was wobbly but food has to be positioned in a balanced way. Since we don't eat french fries or pizza, I use it to crisp my previously baked salmon, thus adding to the flavor while eating a healthy low carb meal. It has an alarm so I can watch TV while cooking. Just be careful not to touch the hot, rotating stage. It works & I recommend it. Is it durable? My friend has had hers for decades. I will update if my widget malfunctions. If there's no update, it means it's A-ok. Update 5/6/19 My Pizzazz rotating oven fell and suffered a Humpty Dumpty fate. I immediately purchased a second one. I can't be without this kitchen must have. It heats up crisp food & preserves its crispiness. Recommended for households with no little kids.

This is a wonderful item to have in your appliance arsenal!

I always looked at these and thought, "I would never buy that." I thought it was a stupid idea actually, and how on Earth could this machine really cook a pizza? Well, I was so wrong!!! My family absolutely hates it when I buy another appliance. They say I don't need whatever it is I want to buy, or that there is no room in the "Inn" to place another unit of any kind, no matter what it is. Just so you know, I like rings, earrings, and appliances -- not shoes, like most women. Well, I ordered this on a whim and boy did my family give me what for! Now, they all say they absolutely love this Presto Pizza Rotating Oven. We use it all the time and not just for pizza. If you like crisp crust, here is how we do it to get it really nice and crisp. Throw a tablespoon of butter on the rotating pan and take a pastry brush and spread the butter around to cover the entire pan. Place your thin crust (store bought) on the top of the buttered pan. Butter the top of the crust. Now run the machine with the top and bottom heat, until the crust gets golden and crisp. Now put your pizza stuff on the crust, turn on the timer and cook your pizza. The crust is just lovely. If your crust gets too brown, turn off the bottom heating element. If you eat pizza at all in your family, this is better than the regular oven. Boy, I wish they had this when I was in college. That would have been a great item to have. This is a wonderful product and you will love it if you like pizza baked at home. It works well with other food items too.

Sorry I waited so long!

Ok this is what we chose to replace our toaster with instead of a new toaster or a toaster oven. And I just gotta say this is the best! I have used it for a week, multiple times a day, testing different stuff that can and cant cook in it. It can cook a lot pie in 20 minutes, a pizza in 15, and even does toast but if you like your toast brown on both sides just keep an eye out and flip it after a minute or so. I dont mind mine like this though. My son HATES so much food but I am telling you this IMPROVES the taste of some. He actually ate fish sticks made on it and I have to say they were better than I have ever tasted! He hates fish sticks. Now he asks for them. We love out little Pizzazz! Note: Things that dont turn out well on it. French fries, biscuits, homemade bread. Things that turned out well. Pizza, fish sticks, frozen fish patties, pot pies, mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets. That's all we tried so far as I normally cook healthier meals.

Presto Pizzazz Plus Rotating Oven

OMG, this has changed my 17 year old son's life. He is totally obsessed with the Pizzazz. He uses it every single day. He actually rummages through both freezers trying to find something he can cook with it. It also has changed my life as well and I don't even use it that much. However, prior to buying this, I was constantly having to cook for a 17 year old boy who's hunger was never in sync with myself or my husbands. So I was constantly being bugged to fix this or fix that for him. Now he cooks for himself and actually has fun doing it!! This is an awesome little "gadget" and be used for many things. My son has cooked just about everything you can imagine...even cookies. I highly recommend this for any family. It's fun to use and does an amazing job. I haven't found any negatives about it. The only negative in my household is that I don't have an abundance of counter space and because it is used so often, I can't really put it away so it sits on my counter and does take up space. I do put the pizza pan part in a cabinet directly below the main heating part so that does help. So it's not really the fault of the Pizzazz. I just need more counter space!! LOL If in doubt, just buy it!! It totally changed the dynamic in my household.

S'mores lovers beware---this is ADDICTING!

I absolutely LOVE my Pizzazz Plus. I live between two houses (during the school year I live in a different city) and since I started school I've missed having a Pizzazz Plus (it's technically my roommates) so just ordered one for my school house and received it in the mail, and within an hour of receiving it have already cooked an amazing gluten-free pizza on it. Instead of waiting 25 minutes for my oven to heat up to 425 degrees, I waited a mere 12 minutes for my pizza to go from frozen to bubbly-cheese-amazingness. My absolute favorite thing to make on it is gluten-free s'mores which are ALMOST as good as the kind cooked over a campfire. I am a s'mores fanatic and the microwave and oven s'mores are NOTHING compared to Pizzazz s'mores. No joke. You can cook almost anything on your pizzazz you would cook in the oven. I might as well throw my oven away now that I have a Pizzazz. Just kidding.... but seriously.... get a Pizzazz.

Coming upon 8 year anniversary and still going strong

I guess I was being a little nostalgic today. Looking through my Amazon order history I had to both chuckle and cry at some of the completely useless items I've purchased over the years. Then I ran across the Pizzazz I bought way back on June 28, 2008 (Today is Feb 14, 2016.) I rarely write reviews but I like and use this oven so much that I'll make an exception. Usage: I've probably used the oven an average of 1 to 1 1/2 times a week. Sometimes 2 - 3 times a week and then I might go 2 - 3 weeks before using it again. It's been used almost exclusively for pizza. I used it maybe 5 times for other things and it worked well but it just doesn't come to mind when I can finally drag myself into the kitchen and cook something. Durability: Like the title says I've got almost 8 years out of it so far so A+ there. The pan itself could have a better non-stick coating on it and the newer ones may have but the '08 model leaves a little to be desired. When I first got it I made sure to wash it after every use. Now that I'm older and lazier I generally just hold it over the sink and wipe it off with a paper towel. Big deal if it's not completely clean and has a few crumbs or burnt cheese stuck to it. That will just add texture and flavor to the next pizza. Who doesn’t like those crunchy crispies at the bottom of the french fries box? And besides, it hasn't killed me ... yet. My Frozen Pizza Prep Method: I have done “from scratch” pizzas that turned out quite well but remember in the paragraph above I mentioned that I’m older and lazier now? Anymore I usually just stick with the frozen variety that can usually turn out very good if you doctor them up a bit. I do my pizza prep on an Oneida Commercial 16 Inch Pizza Pan I purchased just for this purpose. (It was on sale at 2 for $6 when I got it.) It’s larger than the Pizzazz pan so it will catch most of the enthusiastically thrown toppings that are coming. 1) Remove frozen pizza from packaging and place the 16” pizza pan making sure there is no cardboard stuck to the bottom (special attention needed if it’s a Tombstone pizza). 2) Apply a liberal dose of pizza sauce such as Muir Glen Organic Pizza Sauce, 15-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) or Contadina Pizza Sauce, 15 Oz. I like using the Contadina squirt bottle so I rinse them out and save them for use with the Muir Glen. I’ll also water either sauce down slightly because they are both rather thick after being refrigerated. With a squirt bottle I put the sauce on in a spiral pattern and just leave it that way. It seems to spread out okay while cooking later. Otherwise, like with a freshly open can of Glen Muir, I’ll smudge it on with a tablespoon. 3) Dust lightly with Garlic Salt. 4) Place a pepperoni slice in every open space that did not have a pepperoni to begin with. Overlapping slices is perfectly acceptable. Any pepperoni should be okay except for maybe that Turkey or some other fake pepperoni. If you have a Publix Supermarket nearby you should really consider trying the Publix Brand pepperoni … good stuff. 5) Cover entire pizza with mozzarella or your other favorite cheese. Quoting from The Huffington Post that was reporting about a pizza cheese study … “the researchers concluded in their study that mozzarella can be combined with any of the other six cheeses (cheddar, Colby, Edam, Emmental, Gruyere, and provolone) to create just the right amount of browning and blistering you prefer on a gourmet pizza -- for instance, try cheddar for less blisters or provolone for less browning.” 6) Transfer the pizza from the 16” prep pan to the Pizzazz pan. Pour any excess, enthusiastically thrown toppings caught by prep pan to pizza. 7) Set Pizzazz pan onto Pizzazz oven spindle and if the oven is plugged in you should hear the motor start and the pan will start rotating. This can get a little tricky. I usually have to kneel down and watch the underside of the pan to make sure it sits on the spindle properly. There’s gotta be a better way of designing the oven to make this easier and foolproof. 8) Make sure the heating elements switch is in the correct position. Since all I do anymore is frozen, I just leave the switch in “Dual” which heats the top and the bottom of the pizza. 9) Turn the timer switch to the appropriate time. For normal crust pizzas like Tombstone I’ll use around 13 or 14 minutes. For thick, self rising crust like DiGiorno I set it for the full 20 minutes. (Side note: I used to never like the thick, rising crust pizzas because the only one I’d tried was DiGiorno. One day I was getting pizzas and Pepsi’s at Walgreens and a nice lady in the checkout line turned me on ... ... ... (where was I? ... oh yeah) to the Walgreens brand called Good & Delish Frozen Rising-Crust Pizza. I was impressed with it. I can’t say it’s my favorite but it is definitely a regular now. Also, Jack’s pizza available there and other places is quite good if doctored up properly.) 10) Set some other audible timer for 4 to 6 minutes longer than you set the Pizzazz timer for. 11) Go watch TV or if you like, just sit there and anticipate the yummy goodness that is coming your way. 12) When the 4 to 6 minute delayed audible timer goes off the Pizzazz pizza pan may be cool enough to handle with your bare hands. With the Pizzazz in place and still rotating, push the pizza around just a little to make sure it’s not stuck to the pan. Holding the 16” prep pan next to the oven in one hand, slide the cooked pizza off the Pizzazz pan onto the prep pan with the other hand. 13) Set the prep pan on a sturdy surface and slice the pizza to your liking. I’ve tried various pizza cutters and the style I like best is the Bialetti Taste of Italy Pizza Chopper, 14-Inch. (Yes, I know you should not use a cutter on a non-stick pizza pan but that was my entire purpose for my getting the pan. I bought it July ’13 and while it does have a few crease marks on it, there is no peeling yet. The only heat it sees is from a hot pizza sitting on it. The second pan of the set hasn’t even been used yet.) 14) If you must, fix up a salad so you can claim you ate healthy. Plop yourself back in front of the TV. Set your dinner on a Table-Mate II Woodgrain Folding Table and enjoy.
