Oh, how you make my frozen pizza dinner so melty and hot.
Put the pizza on the roating pan and then it's one quick turn
Of the dial to 12 or 16 minutes depending on what you've got.
The crust gets crunchy and the cheese gets bubbly and doesn't burn.
Fvck Digiorno, this baby makes everthing taste like delivery!


How I love thee, Presto Pizzazz Pizza maker!

Using the oven you probably already have for pizza cooking: free and done in 15-20 minutes.
Using the stovetop you probably already have for pizza cooking: free and done in 25 minutes.
Buying a toaster oven for pizza cooking: $30 and done in 15 minutes.
Buying a Pizza Pizzazz: $40 and lots of storage/countertop space wasted.

MrChad said it better than I could (his post is below):

Not to mention the cost of gas/electricity to heat up the entire oven to 400 degrees for 20 mins, then all that heat bleeds into your house and you have to pay for the AC to cool it down.

The Pizzazz is only $30, and the biggest advantage beside the cooking quality is you don't have to preheat your oven.

It started out at $100, and dropped to $80 for several years. I was unaware it dropped to $30 (However a quick online search still shows $40 as the price). Even then, at $30 it is expensive for a one-purpose, bulky space-taking gadget. You don't have to preheat the oven for many frozen pizzas either. Plus, crunchy crust sucks donkey balls. Soft crust is where it is.

Right there in your kitchen. At least it is true for 99% of people in the US.
Man, I got scammed!

Dunno...I got mine for $20 from Macys.com about 3 years ago. I say it in today's Kohls ad for $30, thats what made me post.

You can disagree all you want, but if you've ever used one, you'd love it.

$50 on Amazon, and 4 1/2 stars out of 5 on over 100 reviews.

Third post. Note: in that link, I said it takes 1 hour on low because I was attempting to get soft crust. Since MikeyIs4Dcats wants crunchy crust, ~25 minutes on higher heat works too.

I used my toaster oven to cook pizzas. It's small enough that it heats up fast, but it has a "bulge" in it that makes a 12" pizza fit perfectly. I've only used my oven once in 9 months. (to cook garlic bread that was too long to fit)

So, because I have something, that makes it free? Damn, I guess I've never spent any money in my life.

Yes, it is free to use something that you ALREADY HAVE.

well then the pizza thing is free then after the 1st use eh? so that makes your argument useless.
