Hands-On Review & Editor's Verdict
Overview: Traditional outdoor pizza ovens rely on bulky propane tanks, wood pellets, or chimney flues that produce smoke, making them impossible to use indoors or on apartment balconies. The Current Model P+ Smart Electric Pizza Oven changes the game by delivering genuine 850°F high-heat baking from a standard 120-volt household wall outlet.
Whether you prefer a 90-second blistered Neapolitan crust, a crispy foldable New York slice, or a caramelized Detroit deep-dish, the intelligent cooking modes calculate the ideal balance of top radiant heat and bottom conductive heat. The triple-pane insulated glass window keeps heat locked inside while allowing you to monitor the bake in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I truly use this pizza oven safely indoors?
▾
Yes, 100%. The Current Model P+ is engineered and UL-certified specifically for indoor kitchen countertop use as well as outdoor covered patios. Because it runs on electricity with zero gas combustion or open flames, there are no toxic carbon monoxide fumes or soot.
How long does it take to preheat to 850°F?
▾
Preheating to maximum Neapolitan temperature (850°F) takes approximately 20 to 22 minutes on the cordierite stone, significantly faster than outdoor wood-fired ovens.
Can it cook foods other than pizza?
▾
Absolutely. With dedicated Sear, Broil, and Bake modes, you can roast cast-iron ribeye steaks, blister shishito peppers, bake artisan sourdough focaccia, and roast vegetables with exceptional high-heat caramelization.
