Performance

What impressed us the most was how well the Presto 03430 cooked pizza evenly. It uses top and bottom heating elements to bake the pizza from both sides. Its even baking pan then rotates to ensure everything side has been baked to perfection. And it even worked on frozen pizzas. Cooking times do vary, depending on the pizza, but overall it is slower than conventional ovens. We would recommend you start ahead of time if you’re preparing pizza for dinner. At the same time, it uses 60% less energy than your typical oven.

Design

At first glance, the Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven might seem bulky, and it surely is when it’s in use. You might even be thinking it’s difficult to store—but that’s not the case at all. In fact, the base and the tray can be taken apart. The rotating baking pan can also be washed, which is a wonderful feature to have given pizza can get rather messy at times. We just recommended that you keep it in a safe location when cooking, the same goes for the Dash DEC005BK.

Value

Given the size of the pizza you can make, its performance, and overall design, the Presto 03430 Pizzazz Plus Rotating Oven is a godsend for people who love pizza. It’s a nice kitchen appliance to have if you and your family avoid greasy pizza from nearby pizza places (even though it’s so delicious). This is especially true if you like baking your own pizza. With that said, we give the Presto 03430 our seal of great value for pizza lovers. If you want more versatility, consider the Ninja FD401 Foodi 8-qt. 9-in-1 Deluxe XL Cooker & Air Fryer or an Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 if you’re on a budget.

Presto 03430 Pizzazz Review Wrap Up

The Presto 03430 is a great appliance to have if you love eating pizza but, more importantly, making your own pizza. Since it rotates, and cooks on both sides, you’ll always get an evenly cooked pizza. While it only cooks a single pizza at a time, and takes longer than normal means, it still uses 60% less energy.
