So good I bought it twice
I was so impressed with the magnificent pizzas I made that I bought another one for my daughter for Christmas. Very pleased with the oven, service and rapid delivery.

Remarkable results!
Wow! What can I say? This does what it says on the box...superb restaurant quality pizza at home. I love pizza and have eaten at all of the usual major chain restaurants and I must say, the results you get from this equal if not better the very best of the chains'/other eateries. I use the Panasonic bread machine to make the dough (which is fab by the way!) and use whatever I can find in the fridge/freezer to make the most delicious pizzas you could every wish to make. All this at home! I will be getting all my family one of these for Christmas this year; they - like me - will wonder how they ever existed on fresh/frozen supermaket pizzas when you can get superb 'restaurant quality' results from this device. 5 stars - a superb product, thanks Amazon!

Another reccomendation...
I would just like to echo the other glowing reviews of this product. It makes superb pizzas, better than I thought it possibly could.
Resist the temptation to use pre bought pizza bases, nice though they are. If you have a bread maker or strong arms it is really worth the effort to make your own dough to use for the base.
Could the device be improved? Well, yes.. Since the supplied non stick deep pan base can be used for frying etc it would be nice if the top and lower elements could be separately controlled this would also prevent the top from cooking before the base - which can happen if you do not pre heat properly (be warned). It would be nice also if the stone and deep pan base could fit together inside the lid for storage purposes, better still if a simple clasp could be employed to allow for upright storage.
But these are just minor quibbles.
If you want a device to make superb pizzas with a minimum of time and effort then look no further.

Good - but be warned
This is a fine little machine and it produces authentic restaurant style pizzas, though a little experimentation with temperature and timing is needed to suit your dough and the thickness of your pizzas.

But be warned! If you are producing fulsome pizzas with a good topping of cheese and maybe a slosh of olive oil, it's inevitable that you will have some spill-over onto the stone. You'll probably notice nothing out of the ordinary the first time you use the machine. But the second (and subsequent) times, no matter how carefully you scrape the stone after cooking, you will discover that you have imported a smoke generator into your kitchen. Our solution is to preheat the oven outside the back door until the last session's soaked-in oil burns off - our neighbours always know when we are cooking pizzas!

Potentially more serious is the fact that the handle which opens the top of the clam-shell is situated on the front of the machine. This machine gets ¬very¬ hot inside - well above the temperature of a conventional oven. If you open it with an unprotected hand while the machine has a pizza inside, the lid directs superheated steam onto your hand. I now use a silicon oven glove, which is instantly covered with water when the lid is opened. I would certainly never leave this oven switched on in any area where unsupervised children might have access - the thought of what might happen to a child with a face at around table height is a little scary.
But for all that, after years of adapting to a conventional oven, this little device cooks the finest pizzas I've ever made. If that matters to you, live with the drawbacks.

Who needs Pizza Hut??!!
My husband bought this for me because I was always whining that we don't have a Pizza Hut near us. Well - who needs one, if you have this instead??
The pizzas that come out of this are every bit as good, or better, than any I've ever bought. There is a choice of a non-stick deep dish, or a stone baker. You can either use frozen pizzas, fresh pizzas, or else you can make your own from scratch. I've tried all methods and they each tasted much better than the equivalent cooked in my oven.
Being a gadget freak, I also have a bread maker, so the best combination seems to be: using the dough recipe from the Pizza Maker (which uses olive oil), and preparing that on the 'dough' programme of my bread maker. Then I just add whatever toppings I want and bake it in the pizza maker - easy!
It cooks at the bottom and the top, so the top is all deliciously browned and grilled, while the base is cooked through.
The pizza is about 10", but you can make smaller ones.
I recommend this unreservedly, but see my warning below.

WARNING: the first time I used it I badly scalded my thumb on the steam when I lifted the lid: use oven gloves and don't let children open it.
