PIEZANO Crispy Crust Pizza Oven by Granitestone Review – Honest Thoughts After Using It

I’ve always been obsessed with pizza. Whether it’s the gooey cheese, the crispy crust, or the endless topping combinations, pizza has a special place in my heart (and stomach). When I came across the PIEZANO Crispy Crust Pizza Oven by Granitestone, I knew I had to try it out. After using it for a few weeks, I’ve got plenty to share—both the good and the not-so-good.

The First Impression: Sleek and Compact

The PIEZANO Pizza Oven immediately caught my attention with its modern black finish and compact design. It’s surprisingly lightweight, weighing just 8.3 pounds, and fits perfectly on my kitchen countertop. Unlike bulky kitchen gadgets, this one doesn’t hog counter space. The dropdown stainless steel door gives it a professional look, and the natural ceramic stone inside promises authentic stone-baked pizzas.

Using It for the First Time: A Learning Curve

Let me warn you—there’s a slight learning curve. The oven heats up to a blazing 800°F, which is far hotter than a regular home oven. I placed my first pizza in it without reading the instructions properly (rookie mistake), and the crust cooked faster than expected. Lesson learned: always monitor your pizza and rotate it mid-way to ensure even cooking.

The dual knob controls are a lifesaver. You can adjust the top and bottom heat independently, which gives you full control over how crispy or gooey you want your pizza. I tested this with both frozen pizzas and homemade dough, and the results were consistently impressive.

The Star Feature: That Crispy Crust

The ceramic stone is the secret weapon here. It absorbs and evenly distributes heat, ensuring that your crust is crispy without burning the toppings. My family was blown away by how good the pizzas turned out—we’re talking restaurant-quality pies in under 6 minutes. If you’re a fan of that authentic pizzeria taste, this oven delivers.

Not Just for Pizza

I didn’t stop at pizza. This little oven can handle flatbreads, pastries, and even reheating leftovers like a pro. However, don’t expect it to cook larger dishes or piled-high toppings—it’s optimized for 12-inch pizzas and thinner meals.

Comparing to Competitors: Where It Shines

I’ve tried other countertop pizza ovens before, like the Ooni Koda 12 and Breville Pizzaiolo. While those ovens are excellent, they’re also significantly more expensive. The PIEZANO Pizza Oven is a more affordable option without compromising on performance. That said, the Breville has the advantage of a built-in timer, while the PIEZANO doesn’t.

Cost Analysis and Value for Money

This oven is a steal considering what it offers. For its compact size, blazing heat, and ability to create stone-baked pizzas at home, it’s worth the investment. Plus, you’ll save money by skipping delivery fees and overpriced restaurant pizzas.

What I Didn’t Love

While I’m thrilled with the results, there are a few things to note. First, the cleaning process for the ceramic stone requires care—you can’t use soap or let it soak in water. Second, the exterior gets quite hot, so you’ll need to be cautious, especially if you have kids running around.

In summary, the PIEZANO Crispy Crust Pizza Oven by Granitestone has earned a permanent spot in my kitchen. It’s not perfect, but for pizza lovers like me, the crispy crust and quick cooking time make it a game-changer.
