This pizza maker is AWESOME! I've made pizzas in the oven before, but this pizza oven takes it to a whole new level. I made my own crust for the first time as well to see how the oven did...was not disappointed. The oven takes a bit to heat up (it does have to get quite hot) so you have plenty of time to prep and make the pizza. The pizza peel is great because it is easy to use and folds up for storage. It has a crumb tray so nothing spills on the bottom and sticks. The deep dish pizza tray makes a bigger pizza but we prefer the thin crust, which by the way, cooks in just 5 short minutes (amazing!). I haven't had to wash the stone yet but I'm sure it comes clean easily. We've had pepperoni pizzas, breakfast pizzas, sausage pizzas...and many more to come!
