Cuisinart’s indoor pizza oven is $190 off and could bring restaurant-quality pizza to your kitchen

Pizza night is getting serious and you do not need a backyard, wood-fired oven or a restaurant-sized kitchen to pull it off.

The Cuisinart Pizzeria Pro Indoor Pizza Oven is currently $239, down from $429 , giving shoppers a 44 per cent saving for a limited time.

Designed to sit on the kitchen bench, the compact appliance can reach temperatures of up to 380°C and cook Neapolitan-style pizza in under five minutes.

For anyone who has ever attempted to recreate that blistered, charred pizza base at home only to end up with something closer to flatbread, the high heat is the big draw.

The oven is designed to deliver the kind of intense cooking temperature associated with traditional pizza ovens, while keeping everything indoors and within easy reach of the kitchen.

While Neapolitan pizza is clearly the star, the Cuisinart Pizzeria Pro is not limited to one style.

The oven can be used to make thin and crispy pizzas, deep-pan pizzas, calzones and focaccia, making it a useful addition for anyone who likes to turn a weekend meal into a small cooking project.

It comes with a ceramic pizza stone designed to conduct heat evenly , helping create a properly cooked base with that sought-after char.

There is also an enamel deep dish for thicker styles and a stainless steel pizza peel for moving pizzas in and out of the oven without attempting the increasingly stressful balancing act that can come with a standard baking tray.

The 30cm capacity also means there is enough room for a generously sized individual pizza or one that can be cut up and shared.

One of the biggest advantages is the adjustable temperature control , which ranges from 170°C to 380°C. There is also a built-in timer, allowing users to set the oven according to the recipe or pizza style rather than relying entirely on guesswork.

The stainless steel construction gives the appliance a polished look, while the ceramic stone is designed to distribute heat across the base for more even results.

And according to shoppers, the results are a major reason to consider snapping it up while it is discounted.

One reviewer said the oven produced their “best pizzas ever” , adding that it was easy to use and made wood-fired-style pizzas on the first attempt.
