Although this appliance does require some counter space. But we use it for much more than pizza.  Now we only use the oven in the stove for big jobs & actual baking.  The pizza cooker is used for fries & tater tots just spray with olive oil once they are placed directly on the pizza pan. Hot dogs taste great. Perfect for cheese or garlic bread. We also do slice & bake cookies & biscuits on this but you need to watch closely.  This has replaced the toaster for regular toast & poptarts.  No toaster fires from epic pop tart failure like the one than claimed our toaster. Turkey bacon perfect. Regular bacon can make too much grease.  I love this unit!  Way more versatile than a toaster oven.
