Dedicated pizza ovens are all the rage these days, and the popularity of the wood-fired outdoor variety continues to go from strength to strength. British weather, or for anyone without a garden. Enter then: the indoor pizza oven. Electric powered, largely inexpensive, quick and convenient to use and store, these nifty kitchen gadgets could be the answer to our Neapolitan pizza prayers.

Achieving high temperatures to cook a perfectly puffed and authentically spotted crust, indoor pizza ovens offer a fast and fuss-free way to enjoy proper Italian-style pizza without having to construct a huge brick oven in your back garden. As they heat up so quickly, standalone pizza ovens also offer a more economical way to cook, and are often suitable for many different foods, aside from pizza. There aren’t many on the market, but styles and functions do differ, so it makes sense to do your research before investing your hard-earned cash. 50 to over 10 times that figure for high spec models which offer more functionality, but are more like a full scale appliance rather than an occasional countertop gadget. Though pizza ovens can cook all sorts of pizza, from fresh to readymade and frozen, we used the same fresh dough to make our test pizzas, with a variety of toppings. We preheated the ovens as per the manufacturer’s instructions and cooked the pizza for the suggested time. We were looking for ease of use of the machine, for how quickly the ovens heated up and the end result of the pizza.

OK, first things first: this machine is colossal. You will need a dedicated kitchen area to house the Sage pizzaiolo, as you would any large appliance. Weighing in at around 20kg, this is not something that is easily stored away in a cupboard. If you can accommodate the size, then you are in for a treat as it is by far the best and most functional machine we tried. It comes with a pizza stone or deep dish to cook on and reaches a searing 400C in just a few minutes. Using the pizza stone gives an authentic wood fired flavour and a superior texture thanks to the absorbent nature of the stone, too. Suitable for pizzas up to 12in, this easy-to-store machine is a convenient way to cook up hot, tasty pizzas fuss-free.
