I was skeptical at first but after the first use, this oven is exactly what I needed for a perfect pizza. After trying to get my gas oven hot enough but getting a sloppy/wet crust, I sprung for the Salton Professional Pizza Oven. After warmup, it only took 8 minutes to turn out the tastiest, crispest crust I've ever had at home. Yes, it was definitely professional. Same pizza that failed before was perfect this time. Same toppings, same crust but the Salton is head and shoulders above my gas oven. Get it!
