How to choose an electric oven if you love pizza

When your passion is pizza, choosing the right oven isn't a casual affair. Here are the most important criteria:

1. Maximum temperature
   Pizza requires intense heat: it's best to choose an oven that reaches at least 250-280°C . Some pizza-specific models reach 300°C.

2. Dimensions and available space

   • If you have limited space in your kitchen, a 45 cm deep electric oven is the ideal solution.

   • If you often cook for family or friends, a large electric oven is better, which allows you to cook multiple pizzas or multiple trays at the same time.

3. Pizza-specific functions
   Many models have a “Pizza” function that activates heating elements and ventilation to simulate cooking in a wood-fired oven.

4. Budget and offers
