Seems like gimmicky garage clutter. If you want to bake great pizza, all you need is a good oven stone, a peel and an preheated oven that can go up to 450°f. That's it.
If you like that slightly smoky flavor of a wood cooked pizza, you can put down an old steel cookie sheet underneath or next to the bottom burner. Then, before you turn on the oven to preheat, wet and put in a few small individual wood smoking chips or smoking pellets on the cookie sheet 3-4 inches away from the burners; close enough to char and give a little bit of smokiness and flavor, but separated and far enough from each other to not make anything more than a match size flame if they do happen to ignite. Might want to turn on your range fan and crack a window the first time and until you get the hang of it, but it works great. Amazing flavor, convenient, cheap to use on natural gas or electric. I've always made my own, but it looks like there are a couple little pre-made smokers designed for use in conventional ovens on Amazon.
A lot of people want you to think you need some expensive toy appliance to cook foods "correctly" or "the right way". (People in marketing and product fanboys that bought into the marketing and get their fulfillment by owning toys.)
Especially foods like pizza, barbecue, turkeys, whatever. But that's just not true.
If you have a good, working oven, you can cook about 98% of anything you would eat in or on it.
It's mostly just technique, knowing HOW to cook something is what makes a good cook a good cook and a chef a chef, not novelty cooking appliances that will spend most of their time sitting on a garage shelf.
If you want more features, like a convection function, multiple cooking compartments, infrared cookers or rotisserie? Probably better to Save the money you would have wasted on this product and put it towards an upgraded oven.
40 some odd bricks and 2 large pavers and you have an easy outdoor wood fired pizza oven. check out youtube for "chef steps pizza oven"
