Hi,
Were just thinking about buying a pizza maker, does anyone own one and which brand is best. Have looked at the The Pizza Maker Just pizza red one as they have it out for $129 inc postage. Does anyone own one of these and if so are they good. Would make own base but just thought it would be handy to have the cooker.
Thanks :)
-
I do mine in the oven on a stone, perfect. Also if you have a hooded bbq they do good pizzas too.
H :)
-
I have on of those haybray and we love it.
-
I'm the same as Hally, I do mine in the oven on a stone. I have no room for a pizza cooker (but would love one)
Although the oven and pizza stone does a great job. To feed all us I make 4 large pizzas. I can cook 2 in the oven and 2 in the convection microwave at the same time so they are all ready at once.
-
i've got one of those electric pizza ovens and recommend it as they are fantastic - only takes 5 mins to cook. saw a friend do a pizza on a stone in the bbq (with a lid) and it was wonderful as well. For me, normal ovens are too slow - but if you only ever make it once in a blue moon, why not.

I have the Just Pizza Red and it is fantastic and really quick.
I received mine as a bonus when I bought the TC.
If I was to select one tho I would get the Pizza cooker that is deeper and has a replacement stone I think to make it a bit more useful.
-
Thanks for all of the replies. Very helpful, my oven doesn't work that well and seems to burn so that's why I'm opting for the pizza oven. I have looked on some reviews and it sounds like the Just pizza black would be a good option as you can remove the stone and cook things other than pizza in them. I think it is about an extra $30 for the black one instead of the red one.
-
I think it was in our daily paper I read this week a chef who cooks his pizzas, one at a time, on the floor of the oven on baking paper.
When you think about it, it would be just like a hot stone.
-
I don't understand the pizza maker idea over oven, I always seem to get really good results with the oven, but it takes I'd say 20-25 minutes to cook a pizza, how long do the pizza ovens take on a large pizza? ;D
-
Yep 20 to 25 in my oven and Convection microwave. But 4 pizzas cooked at once. I think the pizza ovens cook a lot quicker for one pizza. They do look pretty cool but are quiet big from what I have seen. A great idea though.
-
I have the red pizza maker, I thought the stones were good untill I got it, it cooks the base so well, same as TM if it broke tomorrow I would buy another one, we have alot of topping and it takes 6 - 7 minutes to cook. Have made up to six in a row and you can cook them pretty must as fast as they can eat them.
-
in a wood fired pizza oven it takes between 60 to 90 sec :o a margarita pizza is cooked in under 1 min
-
Gee fundj if I had one of those I would be pulling out a pile of ash ;D
That is quick.
-
Deeau they do sound good. But I'm not listening (covering ears). No room for one anyway.
Although if I cleaned out the cupboards?
NO I'm not listening. ;D
-
I have the black one and it is brilliant! I have replaced the stone once as it did crack, but mine is about 7 years old.
-
Still not listening ;D
-
dede you will have plenty of room in your new pantry LOL.
I too am covering ears and eyes as I really don't have room to store it.

My red pizza making is living on the table on the back porch.
Impressed one frIend so much, she is getting one for her birthday.
We are all pretty addicted to leb bread base with toppings. So thin and crispy. So quick.
Also use it for toasted sandwiches, heating croissants with ham cheese & mustard, and other experiments involving Melted cheese
And using thermo dough. How simple is that?
-
We usually have SAturday night pizza. I make the dough, DD cuts up and puts the toppings on and DH cooks the pizzas.
-
Last weekend for the first Time since TM we brought pizza (lazy day for me), we always swore by these pizzas being the best pizzas around. But not anymore, I think my pizzas are heaps better and not so greasy (cheese oil).
I won't be craving takeaway pizzas ever again.
-
DOing the same Dede *I don't need it* LOL
Oh yes, I got back in to making pizza in the last month, and now take away pizza doesn't taste so good lol
-
I have "the pizza maker" in black. It has a removable stone, and a deep dish insert for fritatas, quiche, deep dish pizza etc.
(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/58556132.jpg)
I love it, and use it often.
My oven is large, and takes a good 30 mins. To heat up to temp., and grilling is not quick in it either.
I often use Lebanese bread or thick pitas for the pizza bases, so that makes it super quick.....about 3 minutes to cook them. If using pizza dough, it takes around 5-7 minutes......much quicker than the oven ;)
You can grill/toast anything in it really.
-
I have 'Just Pizza' The Pizza Maker. It is a red electric one, with a stone. I purchased it after going to a girls night, where a few girls had one and we all made pizzas on them. We now do this a few times a year, all bring our machines, have all the bases and fillings cut up and make a big pile of them. They are so quick. Yummm. Trouble is, it's another one of those gadjets you have to put away in the cupboard and forget you have it. Thanks you have reminded me I need to use it again. Pizza this weekend.
-
Maddy ur a north girl. I said I didn't need one and after seeing and reading about yours, I want one. Going to have to find room for it.
-
DG >:( YOU didn't need one
-
Quick ladies while I have a coffee! I am at the shops and Coles have a pizza maker for $29. Worth it you think?
-
AmandaN did you buy the pizza maker?
-
yes I did! dh nit too pleased......why didi you get that are here are young to put it? my answer.......$29 and the kids will like it!
-
Lol, well $29 is nothing to pay. You will have to prove its worth now by making some pizza for him. :)
-
Def looking at Coles this week. Is the pizza stone removable? Waiting for your reviews Amanda.

So will I!

I bought the $29 Dome Pizza maker from Coles as my big oven is currently kaput. Used it for pizzas last night.
It has a removable stone that rotates during cooking. It cooked our pizzas in 10 minutes. (We like thickish bases) Easy, clear instructions.
While my FF oven does cook the pizzas better (and I can cook 4 at a time), for $29 this pizza maker is an absolute bargain.
I'm thinking that I could freeze pizza bases rolled to size and then the perpetually starving teens could easily cook their own pizzas whenever they want :) :) :)
-
I didn't see the pizza makers in our Coles ???

Excellent idea djinni.
-
Just bought 2 pizza makers from Coles. 1 for us and 1 for a friends birthday. Can't wait to try it out tonight
-
what section were they in?
-
1st aisle in our Coles. Lots of homewares reduced. I asked at the counter.
-
like where they sell toasters, kettles or more like where they would sell dvd players? I have been looking since it was mentioned here
-
These were in a clearance aisle.
-
Not sure if you guys have Homeart, but they also have Pizza cookers, think they were $39 (but I'm not 100% sure on that)
-
Thanks for everyone's comments. I'm happy to tell you all that I have ordered the black Just Pizza the pizza maker for $149 inc postage from kitchenwaredirect. Can't wait to try it out. I decided on this over the red one beacause you can remove the stone and also cook omeletes etc in it.
-
The coles pizza maker has a removable stone. I do suggest you also invest in a pizza lifter to get the pizza off the hot stone with ease.

These metal ones are fantastic, and cover the stone. http://www.newwavekitchenappliances.com.au/catalogue/products/accessories/metal-paddle
-
Will wait until I get my pizza maker because I think that you get 2 wooden paddles with it. Don't know what they are like but will wait and see.
-
the paddles are just two thin pieces of wood. I never use them as I roll my dough on a piece of baking paper and then lift it onto the pizza stone. Doesn't stick but you still get the heat transfer, and then you can lift it straight off and cut up.
-
I went to my local Coles in Sydney and they had never heard of the pizza makers.. I wonder if it is only available in some states.
-
AmandaN got one at her local coles (somewhere in Sydney).
