![The Elements of Pizza: Unlocking the Secrets to World-Class Pies at Home [A Cookbook]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61iBv4BrQTL._AC_UL116_SR116,116_.jpg)
Making pizza at home has never gone all that well in my house. The crust always turned out spongy and not even slightly crunchy and it never looked all that appetizing, so we almost never did it.
Enter: Pizzacraft Pizzeria Pronto
I got this thing on a deal, but now that I have it I would've happily paid what it goes for normally. Set up is fairly easy (assemble it on top of your stove and lock it in place with the small included cable so that it can't slide). Turn on the flame (you have to have a "real" stove, no electric here), let it heat up and in goes your pizza! My stove isn't all THAT powerful so it "only" gets up to about 580 for me which is low on the "pizza making zone" on the included thermometer but that does plenty to get a nice crispy crust.
That said, a few notes/suggestions:
1. Be careful not to let cheese/toppings fall off on to the pizza stone (it will burn and crust itself on to the pizza stone, you can scrape it and get it off but it becomes a bit of a hassle.).
2. Be sure to use corn meal on the bottom of your crust. It REALLY helps the crust be able to move around on the pizza peel and the pizza stone. Be careful not to use TOO much though, it will start to burn and smoke if you use too much. I've found a happy medium now and it works quite well.
3. I recommend grabbing the pizzacraft pizza peel, its the perfect size to be able to slide right under any pizza in this oven and folds nicely for
storage).
4. Make your own dough. You don't realize the difference it makes until you have a piece of your homemade dough next to the store bought stuff and see the difference.
Either way: BUY THIS THING! It's wonderful and produce some great pizza. I can't wait to experiment with various different recipe ideas in this thing.

But the Pizzeria Pronto harnesses the power of your gas stovetop, channels it thru the hollow-core Cordierite pizza stones to reach optimal baking temperature of 600F and cooks a perfect, gourmet pizza in as little as 6 minutes.

OPTIMAL PERFORMANCEThe easily movable door keeps heat in while cooking, and silicone handle slides it safely open and closed. |
How To Use Your Stovetop Pizza Oven
Allow 10-15 minutes for your pizza oven to preheat, centering the sturdy steel base over your gas burner on high, with the sliding access door. The built in thermometer indicates when ready to start using. Slide the access door open and slip your pizza on to the pizza stone inside, closing the door to maintain cooking temp. The dual baking stones distribute heat evenly for a uniform, crispy crust; the heat-efficient design reflects heat to insure a melty cheesy top. The moisture vent in the hood allows any steam to escape, and prevents soggy results. Using a pizza peel or spatula, rotate the pizza once during cooking. When finished, slide pizza off pizza stone with a peel and remove from oven. The Pizzeria Pronto Stovetop Pizza Oven is designed for use with most gas burners – it will not work with an electric stovetop. Recommended for 9500-15000 BTU natural gas or LPG indoor gas ranges, lower BTU burners can be used but will take longer to pre-heat and may not provide the best results

It works! ....u need to tweak it a bit :)
My first attempt was an utter failure. Preheated the oven in 15mins to about 400 degrees C. Bottom crust was burnt, particularly centre of pie. In was inedible, bottom centre pie had this perfect black sooted centric burnt mark. Top crust was undercooked.I figured that the second stone, the one nearer to the roof of oven was way tooo hotttt and that the holes in oven roof is letting off too much heat off the oven. So for the oven to work I need to cool down the second stone plus retain heat at upper part of oven.And so I did some enhancement, i wrapped the second stone with aluminium foil. (2 folds).And I cover the holes on the roof of oven using disposable bbq aluminium pan and secure it with stainless steel cable.You may want to look at the Pics I uploaded for reference.For my second attempt, I blasted my stove burner and it reaches 400 degree C in like 10mins.If u are worried about ventilation of the oven, i say dont worry cos all around the oven sides are perforated with ventilation holes.Do it at your own risk though :)All is good now, except that sliding in the pizza into the oven is still a pain in the a*se.

I wanted to like this product. I was so excited for its arrival and bought a pizza peel to go with it. After following the prep and cooking instruction i managed to burn the pizzas in the center whilst leaving them Raw on the edge, I thought this was an error on my part but turns out it’s a design flaw i tried a number of times and the result was both sides of the stone being left with heavy burn residue and the bottom stone meant for taking the heat being cracked sadly missed my return window for the item but it’s a shame as I had family anticipating successful usage of this item as well. What a shame this item could’ve been a real game changer.

Great product makes great pizza (okay I made great pizza the oven only bakes it.) The high temp it reaches and stones make a crispy pizza crust. I have first tried reheating pizza from our favorite pizza place and it was great like it just came out of his oven. We then bought store crust and my kids made their own pizza. The only thing I dislike is the stone sticks and when cheese gets on it burns and can't get it off. It gets very hot so watch what is next to it. The heat browned the silicone mats that go between counter and stove on mine. I was ordered never to use the end burners with this again.

It actually works! You'll likely have to *learn* how to use it and it might take several attempts!
