A home pizza oven is the perfect way to make a professional tasting pizza and entertain friends at the same time.

My home pizza oven holds six personal pizzas - about 4-1/2 inches wide. This is actually a great party size, because folks don't have to agonize over what to put on 1 big one and that's it. They can have several little ones. If it's a bunch of pizza newbies - you'd be shocked at the number of people who have never made a pizza from scratch -Matt and I demonstrate how to roll out the dough and how much topping to put on. People have a habit of wanting to include too much.

I make the pizza crust and toppings before the guests arrive. Usually for toppings I have a variety of meats including sweet sausage, spicy chicken, ham and some pepperoni. Then there's the red and green peppers, onions, garlic, broccolli, and mushrooms. Top with mozzerella or assiago cheese. I usually figure a 1/2 pound of meat and 3 or 4 cups of vegetables per person. I like to make my own pizza sauce every August when the tomatoes are overflowing and we don't know what to do with them. Don't get hung up on stuff like that, if you're busy, just buy some. It'll taste great!

It takes about 6 to 8 minutes for the pizza oven to cook the little pizzas. I have a big salad bowl so people can much on that, as well as all the pizza trimmings, and lots of red and white wine, and ice-cold water and lemonade. Oh, the wonderful aroma that starts to waft through the dining room! After a couple of rounds of pizzas everyone is a pro and everyone is sharing their pizza.

There's a home pizza oven for every budget and cooking style. Some are precisely designed for pizza baking other's look and act similarly to a toaster oven. But if you're really serious about getting pizza that tastes like a restaurant quality, I'd go with the first option the Wimmely. But there's lots of choices

Make up to 6 small pizzas at once in the The Wimmeley PD601 PizzaDome Italian Brick Porable Pizza Oven. The natural clay dome soaks up the heat and then circulates it for even cooking. This portable pizza oven takes about 15 minutes to get up to cooking temperature and then cooks the pizza in about 6 to 8 minutes. You get a dough cutter and 6 spatulas with the pizza oven.

It measures 16 inches x 16 inches x 10 inches so it's a perfect-sized pizza oven for your counter or table. You can also cook bruschetta and calzones. Clean the dome with a damp sponge. The spatulas, cooking plate, and cutter should be hand-washed with a rough sponge.

The Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven will cook a pizza in about half of the time you would have to cook it in a regular oven. It doesn't require any preheating time at all. The top and bottom cooking elements work iseparately from each other. For a self-rising crust pizza you let the bottom element cook about 10 to 12 minutes and then turn on the top cooking element. If you want your Pizzazz Pizza Oven to turn out crispier crust then you would bake the pizza with both elements and then only the bottom element. You can use the timer with automatic shut-off to cook exactly the way you want it. If the pizza oven overheats it shuts off automatically. You can cook any kind of pizza without any preheating - fresh or frozen pizza with regular or rising crust. This is a very affordable pizza oven.

Turn your outdoor gas grill or your indoor oven into a pizza oven with theVillaWare PizzaGrill BBQ Pizza Maker. There's a rectangular pizza stone that fits securely into the stainless steel frame.
