A take-out has been a staple of my weekends since I was a little girl, and pizza has always been a reliable favorite. Now that I'm mindful of my spending habits and what goes into my food, I’m finding ways to recreate these at home instead.
The best place to start? One of the best pizza ovens, of course. And with the top-rated Chefman indoor pizza oven currently $500 off in the Amazon Big Spring Sale, it feels like too good an opportunity to pass up.
With five preset cooking options and the ability to cook 12" pizzas in just minutes, there’s very little not to love.

This countertop pizza oven is designed for indoor use, reaching 800°F to cook restaurant-quality pizza in minutes in the comfort of your own home. It features five preset cooking functions for Neapolitan, New York, Thin-Crust, Pan, or Frozen, keeping the process simple, too.
I’m aware that spending $200 on a pizza oven is significantly more expensive than simply ordering in. However, when my average pizza order comes to nearly $30 per delivery (being conservative with size and toppings), it only takes about seven weeks to match the cost of a new appliance.
That’s why I’m picking up the oven while it’s on sale. With a substantial $500 discount, it will expand my culinary options while also saving money at home over time on those pricey takeouts.
Delivering 12" artisanal pizzas from your own kitchen is a game-changer. While I can use my standard oven with a well-heated oven pizza stone from Amazon, it will never reach 800°F, meaning I’m inevitably compromising on that blistered crust and crisp, restaurant-style base.
This countertop option, with its double-paned window and high-heat design, keeps the indoor pizza oven hot for making multiple pizzas back-to-back, all while the exterior stays safe to touch, preventing accidental burns.

What Shoppers Say
While we have not had the chance to test the Chefman Indoor Pizza Oven for ourselves, the 500+ five-star shopper reviews speak for themselves.
Giving the oven five stars, verified shopper Jacob dubbed the Chefman as 'the best indoor pizza oven,' adding, 'Pizza on tap is next level. Easy to clean. Easy to use. Fast to make once a recipe is dialed in. The outside of the oven doesn't get hot. Perfect for indoors. Not overly noisy for high-level pizza making. It's worth the counter space. Six months in and it's working great!'
MayaG shared a similar sentiment, having used the pizza oven in her apartment. She wrote, 'This is an incredible machine. I'm writing this after a year of almost daily use. It's still working like new. Makes better pizza than 90% restaurants, and I've been to many. It takes a bit of practice at the beginning to figure out the dough and the cooking time, but after a few tries, you'll have great pizza in 5-6 minutes in the comfort of your own home. Would highly recommend to any pizza enthusiast.'
I didn't need much more convincing, but they have certainly swayed me.
What to Shop
It’s one thing to make pizza at home, but the key to a truly authentic experience lies in the accoutrements.
I’ve rounded up my favorite pizza-making essentials, from sturdy peel boards to high-quality pizza cutters and ovens that are the cherry on the cake for the whole setup, or, rather, the pepperoni on the pie:
This handy 12" pizza peel makes maneuvering your freshly cooked pizza simple, protecting you from accidental burns. The folding handle makes it ideal for storage in your kitchen, too.
Perfect for mixing up your dough, these stunning mixing bowls are embossed with forest motifs, adding a small touch of whimsy to your pizza nights.
With mosaic-inspired motifs and charming Italian phrases, these serving plates offer an extra touch of authenticity to your home pizza nights. It's the Amalfi Coast in your living room.
This stainless steel rocker slices through a pizza quickly and easily without tugging on toppings or ripping the dough. It's the professional way to slice and serve.
A quality dough scraper and cutter is instrumental when making your own pizza dough. This natural wood and stainless steel scraper has an ergonomic handle and is perfect for simplifying prep, even with high-hydration doughs.
The Ooni is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a versatile gem for year-round hosting. It is on the larger side, so it isn't well-suited to smaller kitchens, but during testing for our Ooni Volt 12 review, it heated quickly, cooked pizza in minutes, and is more convenient than a gas model.
The one downside to kicking the take-out habit in favour of homemade is the need to clean a pizza oven after use. Luckily, it's easier than it looks, especially with our expert chef's guide.
