Thinking about buying the Piezano pizza oven? In this post I share a video of unboxing and review what this indoor pizza oven comes with, as well as testing a frozen pizza to see how well it cooks.

If you’ve been looking for an easy way to make crispy pizza at home, you’ve probably come across the Piezano Pizza Oven. Unlike a traditional oven, the Piezano uses a heated pizza stone with upper and lower heating elements to cook pizza at high temperatures on your countertop.
In this first look, I’m unboxing the Piezano Pizza Oven, showing everything that’s included in the box, and putting it to the test with a frozen pizza to see how it performs right out of the box.
What’s Included in the Box?
The Piezano Pizza Oven comes with the basic accessories needed to get started.
Inside the box you’ll typically find:
- Piezano Pizza Oven
- Removable pizza stone
- Pizza peels
- User manual
- Quick start instructions
Setup only takes a few minutes before you’re ready to preheat the oven.
First Impressions
The first thing I noticed is how compact the Piezano is. It doesn’t take up much counter space compared to a full-sized pizza oven, making it a practical option for smaller kitchens.
The oven feels simple to operate with easy-to-use controls and a straightforward design. The removable pizza stone is also easy to access for cleaning after cooking.
How the Piezano Pizza Oven Works
Unlike a conventional kitchen oven, the Piezano is designed specifically for pizza.
It uses heated cooking surfaces above and below the pizza to help cook the crust and toppings more quickly than a standard oven. The pizza stone also helps create a crispier crust by transferring heat directly into the dough.
Because it heats to much higher temperatures than most conventional ovens, pizzas can cook much faster.
Testing a Frozen Pizza
For my first test, I wanted to keep things simple by cooking a frozen pizza.
Frozen pizza is something almost everyone has at home, making it a good way to see how the Piezano performs without making homemade dough.
I followed the cooking process, monitored how evenly the pizza browned, and watched how the crust, cheese, and toppings cooked.
During the test I paid attention to:
- How quickly the pizza cooked
- Whether the crust became crispy
- How evenly the cheese melted
- Overall browning
- Ease of use
Cooking Performance
One of the biggest advantages of a countertop pizza oven is the ability to produce a crispier crust than many conventional ovens.
The high cooking temperatures can help create better texture while reducing overall cooking time.
For frozen pizza, the goal is a crispy bottom, evenly cooked toppings, and melted cheese without overcooking the crust.
Ease of Use
The controls are simple enough for beginners, and the compact design makes it easy to store when not in use.
Once preheated, using the pizza peels to place and remove the pizza becomes straightforward with a little practice.
Cleaning
After the oven cools completely, cleaning is relatively simple.
The pizza stone can be removed for maintenance, and the exterior can be wiped clean as needed. Allow the stone to cool fully before handling it.
Who Is the Piezano Pizza Oven For?
The Piezano may be a good choice for:
- Pizza lovers who want crispier homemade pizza
- Families who regularly cook frozen pizzas
- Apartment or condo owners with limited kitchen space
- Anyone looking for a dedicated countertop pizza oven
- Home cooks who enjoy experimenting with different pizza styles
My First Thoughts
After unboxing and testing the Piezano Pizza Oven for the first time, my initial impression is that it’s a simple, compact appliance designed to make homemade and frozen pizza more enjoyable.
This first test focused on setup, ease of use, and cooking a frozen pizza. In future tests, I’ll be experimenting with homemade pizza dough, different crust styles, and other foods to see how versatile the Piezano really is.
If you’re considering buying the Piezano Pizza Oven, this first look should give you a good idea of what comes in the box and what you can expect during your first cooking experience. Stay tuned for additional recipes, comparisons, and long-term testing as I continue putting this countertop pizza oven through its paces.
