We have tried many times to do in our normal good pizza oven: it is not possible! Even with a pizza stone fails. With this oven, it is no problem to make "real" pizza. With a thin crust it is in 4 1/2 minutes and finished tastes great. The same applies to Flammkuchen or just pizza bread. Little work and great result. For me the best cuisine invention since the dishwasher.
