Getting Acquainted
®
Your Pizzazz pizza oven will cook 7- to 12-inch pizzas fast and
easy without preheating. Use it to make frozen, take-and-bake,
deli, or homemade pizza. The selectable heating elements (LOW-
ER–DUAL–UPPER) let you make pizza the way you like best.
Begin by using the recommended settings in the cooking chart
on page 2. For your convenience, the chart is also on the back of
the pizza oven. At the end of the recommended cooking time if
you want your toppings more done, select UPPER. If you want
a crispier crust, select LOWER. Then reset the timer by turning
it past “6” and then back to 1 or 2 minutes and cook until pizza is
done to your satisfaction. To avoid overcooking, do not leave unit
unattended.

The unit is equipped with a sensor which will detect an overheated
condition. Possible causes of overheating include preheating an
empty baking pan or leaving an empty baking pan on the unit
while the unit is still hot. Should the unit become overheated, the
unit will not operate until reset. Allow the unit to cool and then
press the Reset Button located at the lower front of the unit.

How To Use
®
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Pizzazz
pizza oven (see Fig. A above). Wash the baking pan in warm,
soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
1. Set pizza oven on a flat, dry countertop away from countertop
edge.

hot, it may have caused the unit to overheat. Allow the unit to cool,
if it is hot, and then press the reset button on the front of the unit.
The baking pan rotates, but my pizza does not cook. Why?
You have failed to turn on the timer. The timer has a dual function.
Once the timer is set, the heating elements will turn on and begin
cooking the pizza. When the time has expired, the timer will ring
and the heating elements will shut off.
the baking pan, in water or other liquid. Do not wash in the
dishwasher.
5. If necessary, the outer rim of the element trays may be cleaned
with a nylon mesh pad to remove any food residue. Do not use
steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleansers on any
part of the pizza oven.
My pizza does not cook evenly. What am I doing wrong?
Try this quick and easy recipe with your favorite toppings
for a pizza with great homemade taste.
1. If the bottom is done and the top isn’t or if the top is done and the
bottom isn’t, you probably have not selected the correct setting
for the type of pizza you are cooking. Refer to the cooking chart
above or on back of pizza oven for recommended guidelines.
Most pizzas should be cooked using the dual setting for part of
the cooking time.
2. The ingredients on your pizza are not distributed evenly. If that
is the case, allow the pizza to cook slightly and then redistribute
the ingredients with a fork. This will allow the pizza to cook
more evenly.
Homemade Pizza
1⁄2 cup of favorite toppings
(see suggestions below)
1 cup shredded part-skim
milk mozzarella cheese
1 loaf of frozen bread
dough, thawed OR 1⁄2
(12 ounces) of Homestyle
Pizza Dough Mix*.
Prepare as directed.
1⁄2 cup commercial pizza
sauce OR 1⁄2 cup tomato
puree mixed with 1⁄2
Homestyle seasoning
packet.
How do I get a crispier crust or make my toppings browner?
Always begin cooking your pizza using the recommended settings
in the cooking chart on page 2 or on back of pizza oven. Then at the
end of the recommended cooking time if you would like a crispier
crust, slide the switch to LOWER; if you would like the toppings
more done, slide the switch to UPPER. Then reset the timer by
turning it past “6” and then back to 1 or 2 minutes and cook until
pizza is done to your satisfaction. To avoid overcooking, do not
leave unit unattended.
When I cook rising crust pizza, sometimes the crust seems doughy
or sometimes the crust doesn’t rise very much. Why?
Your problem is caused by one of two things:
Form bread loaf or Homestyle pizza dough into a ball;
place ball in center of baking pan and roll or stretch dough
to a 10 to 12-inch circle.‡ Lightly prick dough with fork.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough. Place toppings
evenly over sauce; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Place loaded baking pan on pizza oven and bake using
the DUAL setting for 11 to 13 minutes or until cheese is
melted and bubbling. If you prefer a crisp crust and have
a large amount of toppings, it may be desirable to use the
LOWER setting for 4 to 6 minutes before switching to
DUAL for 11 to 13 minutes.
1. You did not follow the recommended cooking settings––cook
9- to 12-inch pizzas 10 to 12 minutes first on LOWER and then
10 to 12 minutes on DUAL. OR
*Makes two 12-inch pizzas. Second piece of dough may be frozen for
future use.
‡To make baking pan more stable for rolling or stretching dough, place a
kitchen towel under baking pan.
2. The yeast in your pizza crust is no longer fully active. The amount
of rising and the consistency of a rising crust is dependent upon
the conditions of the yeast. Freshness, freezer temperatures,
packaging (vacuum packaged is best), and original dough
quality are all important factors. Generally, more consistent
results will be secured by nationally branded pizzas since they
abide by more rigorous packaging and quality standards than
many regional/grocery store pizzas.
Suggestions for Pizza Toppings:
spicy sausage/onions/black olives
spicy chicken/yellow and red pepper
Canadian bacon/pineapple
squash/sun-dried tomatoes
pepperoni/mushrooms
®
Can I use my Pizzazz Pizza Oven to reheat pizza or to cook other
ham/sauerkraut
foods besides pizza?
spinach/onions/garlic
Such use is not recommended. The product was designed for
cooking whole (7- to 12-inch) pizzas. Reheating less than a whole
pizza or cooking other foods will not cover the baking pan the way
a whole pizza does. As a result, the pan’s finish may be damaged and
the product itself may overheat, necessitating a cool down and use
of the reset button.
artichoke hearts/tomatoes
Care and Cleaning
1. Always remove baking pan from unit when baking is
completed.
2. Unplug pizza oven from outlet and allow entire unit to cool
completely before cleaning.
3. Wash the nonstick baking pan in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry.
4. Occasionally, wipe the exterior of the pizza oven with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly. Never immerse the pizza oven, except
