bella PRO - Blaze Pizza Oven+ - Stainless Steel

The Bella PRO Blaze Pizza Oven+ features a sleek oatmilk finish that doesn’t attract fingerprints. The largest size pizza it can cook is a 12-inch pizza. The build quality is solid and feels premium. You get a pizza peel to help you place and remove the pizza from the oven. The oven can reach up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit. Frankly, I wish that it could have been more as outdoor pizza ovens can reach up to 900 degrees. The controls are very simple. There are two dials. One dial is for temperature; you rotate the dial to your desired temperature and then push the dial to start the oven. The oven will then preheat to the desired temperature. Once preheat is done you rotate the other dial to set the timer, and then push the dial to start the timer. The oven isn’t loud like a typical convection oven. I noticed the back of the pizza gets burnt and cooks more, so you have to rotate the pizza half way through your cooking time. I was disappointed that there wasn’t a recipe book included. I wish there was more guidance on cooking frozen pizzas. Most frozen pizzas require cooking at 400 degrees for around 15 minutes. I would like to know how long to cook a frozen pizza at 750 degrees. I tried a Boboli crust and it did not turn out well. I cooked it for 5 minutes at 750 degrees and the cheese was too browned on the outside, yet the crust still felt doughy and undercooked on the inside. Next, I made my own dough from scratch and made it thin crust. This cooked perfectly at 750 degrees for 4 minutes. I also learned that its best to let the pizza stone pre-heat for an additional 15 minutes after the oven notifies the pre-heat temperature has been achieved. Overall, I am happy with this oven and I look forward to experimenting with many different types of pizza. It is a lot easier to use and maintain than an outdoor pizza oven.

I think its safe to say that just about everyone loves pizza and the Bella Pro Pizza Oven + is great if you want to get a perfect crispy pizza, once you learn to use it that is. The Bella Pro Pizza Over + is a lightweight appliance you can easily move around and includes a pizza stone. The controls are easy to use and the small screen on the right side is plenty bright for any area. The oven heads up quickly to 450 degrees (5-7 mins) and the timer can be set to 30 mins max. The cool touch handle is great and the oven contains most of the heat so you wont burn your self if you touch the side when it’s on. Once you learn how to cook with the Pizza stone your food will come out perfectly crispy. Now using this oven is a bit different than your normal home oven as the heating works through the pizza stone, if you haven’t used one before you will have to do some research or do some trial and error testing. I wish there were some recipes included so I could have an idea of what temperatures to use for certain dishes. Compared to a normal oven the Pizza’s seem to cook in half the time (depending on toppings/thickness) for the bigger pizzas it would take roughly 7 mins once the oven was fully heated. Overall the Bella Pro Pizza Over + is great once you learn how to use it and makes perfectly crisp pizzas, my only complaint is (being a novice with a pizza stone) there wasn’t anything to let me know how different the cooking/time/temperature would be based on a conventional oven. But after a few burned dishes I was able to get perfectly crisp pizzas.

Bella Pro does a really good job with finding a pizza oven that is simple to use but also blends in nicely to keep on display on your kitchen countertop. Not often do I want to sacrifice precious countertop space for something that I won't use that often. But this is not just a pizza oven, you can really blast up the heat to an impressive 750 degrees to take certain dishes to that restaurant level in the comfort of your own home. Of course if you want to step up your pizza game, this oven does a good job of making that simple. It only has 2 knobs, 1 for controlling heat, and 1 for setting up the timer. It fits a standard 12 inch pizza, includes the pizza stone, and pizza peel. I wanted to try a pizza first of course. Of course you can make your own from scratch but the real test was making frozen pizzas from the grocery store taste like they are restaurant quality. After trying a few and playing with different temps and times, I can honestly say that it was such an easy way to bake a take home pizza. I'm thinking next will be some casserole style dishes or baked salmon. The big window built into the door is such a great way to keep an eye on your cook and ensure that you can't screw it up as long as you are attentive. I do wish it had a built in light though. I also wish the door to open and close was a bit smoother. The wide and I unfortunately keep slamming it by accident as we pull and push it back in but that may just take some getting used to. Quality seems decent and even at full blast heat, it doesn't radiate as much as I though it would. This makes it perfect to cook underneath my kitchen cabinets without fear that the heat would effect them much.

TL;DR - The Bella Pro Blaze Pizza Oven+ is a serious contender for the ultimate kitchen appliance. It makes a solid pizza, it's terrific for baking small batches of cookies, biscuits and cakes, and it even does some air fryer things pretty well. The included pizza peel is easy to clean and use, as is the pizza stone. The only real negative is if you don't have the counter space for it, you'll need to put it away when not in use. Super solid value for sure, though. Unboxing and setup - This is definitely packaged well, but the foam insert is tight so you may need help with getting the unit out of the box. Once out, you'll need to remove a little bit of tape that holds the door shut. Put the pizza stone in it, and run it for 15 minutes at 750 degrees to get any residual oils and odors out of the oven and pizza stone. I'll cover the quirks of the controls in a bit. Assembly of the pizza peel is a little weird. I ended up punching the nut through the hole in it on the metal portion of the peel because the hole was a little small for the bolt. once the hole was enlarged, assembly was quick. Usage - while the controls do make sense, the lack of a dedicated stop cooking button is something I was surprised about. The knob on the left is temperature control and the knob on the right is a timer. To start the oven, just twist the knob to set your temperature and press the knob to start the pre-heating. Set the timer, and wait for your food. Once you're done cooking, you'll press the temperature knob twice to power the oven down (nothing on the display). Before you unplug, make sure you allow the unit to cool itself. I did make a few things with this oven - pizza, cookies, brownies, cake, chicken wings, and enchiladas. While there is a small learning curve with using the oven, everything came out perfect with some practice. The only complaint I have, like I said, is the lack of a dedicated stop cooking button. When you use the oven without reading the instruction manual, you'll wonder how to turn it off and possibly cause damage by pulling power while it's still hot. Other than that one thing, however, the Bella Pro Blaze Pizza Oven+ is a solid performer in any kitchen. A great option when you need something that can do it all and with ease.

Very space saving! I'm happy with the low weight, the color and the size. Is good for my garage counter tops!

As the title says we absolutely LOVE our bella Pro Blaze Pizza Oven+! It took me back to my teenage & young adult years when I worked at a franchise location for a nationwide pizza chain. Taking the pizza oven out of the box I found it nice that they included everything you need to get started including the pizza scraper/peel. Setting up the pizza oven was super easy & straight forward. I decided after I got it all unpackaged that I would take it upon myself to make pizza for us one night when my significant other had to work late. I followed the instructions and set the temp on the highest setting and cooked away everything that might have gotten into the oven during packaging & transport. I got the pizza ready & put it in the oven following the directions on the packaging for the pizza. I put it in the oven and cooked it for the recommended time. What I did not think about, or take into account was that just like a lot of ovens I've used in the past, including our current oven, I needed to rotate the pizza probably midway through cooking so as not to burn the back/rear side of the pizza. I did not do this and the pizza came out kind of burnt on that back/rear side that is farthest away from the door. Lesson learned on that one. The pizza still came out tasty & we really enjoyed it. Best of all it appears it takes less energy than our large oven and it seems to heat up our home less. Which is great during the warmer months. I showed it to my adult aged sons & they each said they would love to have one. So I'll be probably getting them one for Christmas this year. In closing, I found that the bella Pro Blaze Pizza Oven+ is a really great appliance in our home. This is our second bella product (along with the 9 qt tri-zone air fryer) and I must say that both of them are really great & we love them both. They have become staples in our home and we are utilizing them both fairly frequently. Of course I would recommend this item to family & friends as I already have for my sons and will be getting them each one for Christmas.

Bella pro pizza oven was a big hit at my house. I had my family over for make your own pizza night. It was a big hit from the grandkids to there parents. The oven was so easy yo operate. Turn it on set temperature, put pizza in the oven, set timer, and pizza was done. Nice and crispy! Love the color! It was a Big Hit!

Way to go Bella Pro! So fun using this with my family! I set out the ingredients and everyone gets to make their pizza exactly how they want it.

I have always wanted a pizza oven, so when I saw this bella PRO Blaze Pizza Oven+ I just had to get it. There is nothing like that pizza oven crust on a fresh pizza! Bonus that it comes with a pizza stone and peel. There are no cutout handles on the box, so I definitely needed assistance carrying this from my car and getting this out of the box and onto the counter. This is a sizable counter-top appliance at around 17.5" x 19" and weighing 30 pounds. There really is no setting-up to do other than to clean the stone and put the handle on the peel. I then ran it at the top temp of 750 degrees for 15 minutes to clear out any "protective substance" that may be left in the oven, per the instructions. During that process, there was no abnormal smells nor was there smoke. I thoroughly read through the included instruction manual. This pizza oven is designed for more than just pizza - it can also cook fish, quesadillas and the like but it is not to be used for dishes that would splatter oil/grease in the oven such as steaks, chicken and bacon. There is a window so that you can watch your food cook, which is nice. There are only 2 nobs on this - one for the temperature and the other for the timer, which goes up to 30 minutes. it must be noted that there is no auto-off on this oven. After you set your temp and the timer and insert your food, the timer will ring when it is at the end but it will not turn off the oven. The oven must be turned off manually. This reminds me of toaster ovens of many years ago, when the timer was just a timer. Personally, I do like this feature at all. This is a powerful and extremely hot oven, and to accidentally leave it on could prove dangerous. In my first attempt at using this pizza oven,I got some fresh pizza crust, let it proof, rolled it out and put on my toppings. I preheated the pizza oven. The pizza stone is 12", so you must be mindful not to make your pizza any larger than that. My dough stuck to the pizza peel when I attempted to slide it into the oven even though it had been floured. Perhaps it needed cornmeal instead. At any rate, I tried to help slide it off the peel with a spatula and when it finally got into the oven, it was somewhat of a mess inside, but the pizza was still a pizza. It cooked and the timer went off, I turned off the oven, and took the pizza out only to find the top had burnt and the crust was raw. In addition, there was a mess of stuck on dough and cheese inside the oven. This was a disappointing first attempt and may be attributed to some user error, but this was not a good experience and, frankly, too much time and trouble for me. I believe that through trial and error, I could possibly get this bella PRO Blaze Pizza Oven+ to work as it is designed, but this one time was just too much for me. I may decide at some point to give it another try. I would definitely like this more if the oven would turn off when the timer does - that is a safety feature I am surprised isn't here. Would I recommend this pizza oven to friends or family? Unfortunately at this point in time, I would not.
