First time poster. Seems pretty cheap, shows on sale for $799.95 on the AU Breville site.
CamelCamelCamel.
While I appreciate Amazon exists, it's not the only store on earth ☠️
Im sure you’ve done your research. Why this over a gas powered pizza oven like an ooni?
@No Child Support: Well I'm not a fan of Gas or Wood solutions.
This reaches sufficient temperatures to offer a similar, if not identical results to traditional solutions - and this is usable indoors.
I'd say for me, convinience and Warranty is key
I'l seeing the coupon below on Amazon, reducing the price to $729 delivered..

Unfortunately, that's not even theoretically true. Standard ovens simply don't produce heat high enough for decent pizza
This is not true. An oven tops out at around 240c. These are designed to go up to 500c.
You need these temperatures to do proper crust.
An oven can make a good pizza, and a stone base to help with radient temps is nice too. but it cant imitate an wood fired pizza.
Pizza is all about heat. Your oven can't get hot enough to cook a pizza in 2 mins let alone get leopard spots on it even when using stone/aluminum plates.
If you're not heavily into making proper Italian pizza then yes your oven is fine.
I agree. You can get decent gas oven for this price and make pizza that tastes like real pizza.
Sounds like you've never made pizza before.
Ummmmm, yeah…..
I've used a homemade 1cm thick baking steel in my regular oven for most of the last 10 years. Cost me about $20. If used correctly you can get good leopard spotting and cook times of about 3 Mins (doesn't work with a stone, but does with a steel). Doing pizzas on average every fortnight with a 70% hydration 72hr sourdough base.
I have the pizzaiolo currently, bought second hand but new in box for about $500. Its awesome and gets a better result than the steel. I cook with it inside under my range hood. But for most people I'd say it's not $500+ better. And while it is still way more convenient than a wood fired oven, it is pretty bulky.
I've also owned a wood fired pellet oven (more trouble than it's worth IMHO).
Thanks for your input. Nice to hear that there other people out there like me who can actually do a decent pizza in a standard oven.
I never said it was easy, or "perfect", but it can be pretty bloody good when you dial it in.
I think people often spend a lot of money on these things which will deliver you a slightly better pizza with minimal effort and then write off everything else being used as inferior.
Why yall not using the racv discount this
pls more info
Same instructions found here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/911877, should work out to be a touch over $575
I've had this oven for maybe 3-4 years or so. It's really fantastic for making wood fired-style pizzas, you can crank it up to around 375-400 degrees celsius and it'll cook your pizza in 2-4 minutes. Absolutely more of a specialty tool and works best with your own neapolitan style dough rather than premade bases from the shop. Comes with an actual pizza stone as well (read the instructions to avoid possible cracking too). I paid around $1099 or something and wouldn't hesitate at this price.
Genuinely surprised this will do 400degrees but I guess maybe it works better than I thought!
Outrageously overpriced for what it is. Maybe at half that price.
If you want a budget option, consider one of these or the many clones

You will need to preheat it for a long time and i find a few minutes heating between pizzas necessary but you will get quite good results for 1/5th the price.
I'd happily trade mine for a Breville, but my technique needs more polishing before i get to the point where the oven is holding me back
Bought mine from Coles as a "Saba" brand, discounted down to $39!
I had one of those style ones, a Breville version of it, i really didn't rate it, gave it to a mate who loves it.
I bought what looks like a mini commercial electric one, does well, gets stupidly hot, but the whole unit gets stupid hot and is massive.
Was thinking of one of these https://www.betta.com.au/cuisinart-the-pizzeria-pro-832813 which is cheap on here.
If you want more heat, you can take the temp knob off, scrape out the glue and adjust the small screw in the tube clockwise.
You could buy a Weber BBQ with pizza stone for this price
And put it on your kitchen bench?
and make terrible pizzas with it. Even worse than a standard oven.
FYI - I have all the Weber pizza gear and plenty of experience cooking on it and it was a really bad experience unfortunately.
Wow an electric pizza oven for the same price as a Gozney
Would this work better than a microwave oven?
nuh uh
I’ve thought about buying one of these but after recent experiences I’ll never buy another Breville product again.
Shelled out close to $800 for a Breville Combi wave 3in1, 15 months later the microwave won’t spin. Spoke to Breville customer support, they stated they have a strict 12 month warranty and if I wanted it repaired I’d have to take it to a 3rd party repairer (they they would organise) but I would need to pay for an inspection, then the repair.
Bring it up with the retailer about your ACL rights.
An $800 microwave should last 4x longer than a $200 mid range one.
I bought one from Aldi (Stirling) which looks very similar and gets to 400C for around $140.
Works well and cooks a pizza in 3 minutes. No need to spin around and use bottle gas plus can use it indoors.
Outside of unit does get pretty hot though.
This has been the price for as long as I can remember it. (I am tracking this one hard)
It fluctuates, sure. But it is just about is always available for $750 -
Not a bargain, unfortunately.
