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.
