Great Oven with Excellent Results - Price Could Improve
As advertised. I love this oven! Homemade pizzas taste better and cost far less than buying them, and the dual‑heating design cooks from both the top and bottom at the same time. You can easily adjust the temperature based on the style of pizza you’re making. Once preheated, it cooks a pizza in about 10 minutes, and it handles 12" pies or flatbreads with no trouble at all. I do think the price point could be a bit lower, but after comparing several ovens, this one offered the best features for what I was willing to spend.

Great Pizza Oven
Great pizza oven, easy to use, makes great pizza. Fun for family nights, girls' nights, or parties. You can adjust the settings for several different types/styles of pizza. Comes with a peel; be sure to generously flour the peel or the bottom of the pizza dough so it doesn't stick.

Great pizza oven!
This pizza oven works great and is hassle free. Having gone thru the misery of Ooni pellets I’m delighted to have this unit that fires well, maintains heat and quick cooks pizza without scorching (burning) the top. I use only the manual setting as I make my pizzas from scratch and just crank it up to high, let it heat for a good 20 minutes and start cooking. The control panel could be a bit brighter but when I am cooking in late afternoon, it’s fine. So far it is performing well. Now to see if it lasts. Having used Ooni as well as large wood fired back yard ovens, this electric unit is next best thing to the real deal. Forget the Ooni and get this at about half the price.

Great kitchen addition
Makes great pizzas, quickly, and easily once you get the pizza in the oven. Hard to get the pizza off the provided perforated paddle - even using flour/cornmeal/oil. I ordered a different solid paddle; hopefully that will help by allowing the cornmeal to stay between the paddle and dough. Good heat transfer so far no burned or undercooked pizzas. A bit challenging to clean since it is deep, shallow with elements top/bottom. We're happy with the oven and we believe it was a good value for the money.

I am so glad that I stumbled upon this Chefman Pizza oven.
Certainly worth the money, especially compared to the Ooni electric ovens.I originally bought the Ooni Volt 2 for $699, planning a whole “pizza week.” When I opened the box (very basic cardboard packaging), the stone—which already felt flimsy—was cracked clean in half. Its placement in the box is questionable. For comparison, this Chefman has slightly better packaging and the stone feels about 50% more solid and less prone to cracking in my opinion, even though it sits in a similar position.Amazon initially wanted to send an entire replacement oven just so I could swap the stone and send the other unit back. That seemed incredibly wasteful to me. Their support team was excellent and we eventually worked it out, and they put me in touch with Ooni—who simply didn’t respond on Sunday.While waiting, I watched more reviews of electric pizza ovens and started to seriously question why the Ooni and Breville ovens cost about three times more than ovens like this Chefman. The Ooni was huge and heavy, while the Chefman is compact and easy to manage.Most online reviews basically say the same thing: as long as the oven can get a favorable pizza result, you still need to tweak the settings because there are so many small variables in making pizza. After watching a detailed review of this Chefman, I concluded that it can produce excellent pizzas and that dialing it in is no more difficult than with the pricier ovens. The dials on the Chefman work really well and are very intuitive.I paid $159 for this about two weeks before Black Friday, so keep an eye out for similar deals heading into the holiday season. I think it's a NO BRAINER, especially as a first pizza oven.Side note: I found it strange that so many reviewers praised Ooni’s customer service. That was not my experience at all. I ultimately sent the Ooni oven back, and I’m now making fantastic pizzas with this $159 Chefman.The only minor complaint I would have is that the ovens fans are a bit on the noisy side. But a good pizza outcome solves for that.Lastly, don’t be fooled into thinking there’s a true “set it and forget it” pizza oven. There isn’t. The cooks in the best pizzerias in the world are constantly minding their pies—and you’ll need to do the same at home, no matter which oven you buy.
