I make my own dough and have been making pizza in my own oven for a while now.
Bought this oven in late december, and it arrived just in time for me to make quite literally almost 50 pizzas for myself and the many relatives and the many parties we hosted over the christmas - new years holiday time.
I think that to truly understand the strengths of this oven, you have to know the different types of pizzas. Or rather, the binary - neapolitan and non neapolitan pizzas.
Neapolitan pizzas need very hot ovens, and need to cook very fast. I'm talking 900F top and bottom, cook in 90 seconds. The goal of a neapolitan is to have the bread be simultaneously soft but crisp - it should not be 'crunchy' like a cracker. It should be charred, but soft inside. The sauce should be fresh, oil good, and the cheese should only just barely be melting by the time the crust is done.
I like neapolitan style pizza a lot. Some do, some don't, but I digress.
This oven can do 800F, and I find that when I try to make neapolitan pizzas in it, they are acceptible. They aren't perfect, the cheese is melting and almost browning and a bit overcooked by the time the crust is ready, but all in all, 800F for 2 minutes does a pretty decent job. The neapolitans out of this won't be winning any awards, they aren't ever going to be perfect unless you're ready to crack this oven open and force it to take even more power or buy a $1000 ooni volt or breville or buy an outdoor oven that uses a fire, but they'll be good enough for the indoor $90 price tag.
That's for neapolitan - summary: not perfect, but good.
Now for everything other than neapolitan? New york style? New haven style? Detroit style? Chicago thin crust? Sicilian (if you have a square pan for it)? Reheating an old slide of pizza from fast food? Cooking a frozen pizza from costco? It is excellent. It can do all of these types of pizzas perfectly.
New york and new haven styles will have the perfect amount of char. Leoparding on the bottom, crisp in the crust, foldable, structure, etc.
The timers and temperatures the oven recommends aren't the best. Better to look up the proper temps, and figure out the right time for the pizza by look, but the hardware this oven provides allows a skilled user to make all types of pizza except neapolitan PERFECTLY.
I've been making pizza at home for a LONG time now, using various hacks (pizza steel, grill, blow torch, etc.) and this thing is by far my favorite way to make pizza. In fact fairly early on I'd actually wondered why nobody made this exact thing. It slaps, as the kids say.

Got this in Dec and have made 50+ really good pizza pies ( parties ). So far so good. Purchased a second one. It does take a while to hit temps but thats expected given the 110v circuit.

Approximately how long does it take to get to temp?

I have a different waffle-maker style pizza maker. Just much easier to load and unload, but also $80 or so. Whether they reach those gloryhole 800F, I doubt it, maybe 700 on a good day... no way to measure it accurately really, who cares.
Outdoor pizza ovens are stupid. For what is essentially is a junk food (pizza) going into so much trouble as real outdoor pizza is laughable to me. I can understand making something that is restaurant-quality food, but pizza is and will always be just a crude junk food no matter if it's "napoleonean junk" or just a regular junk.
These pizza ovens are awesome in a way that they make you believe that they make your pizza somehow better than if you just bake them in your range oven. It's pure placebo effect as whatever you slap together on the countertop from cheap grocery store ingredients will taste exactly the same no matter where you shove it to bake, but baking them in "pizza ovens" just adds that special vibe that makes pizza making exciting. Baking them in the range oven.... urrrgh... no thanks.
I used my maker almost daily for ther first week, it was exciting way to spend $80 and since then, not once and doubt I ever will.
At least I wasn't a moron who bought a $600 outdoor oven and $200 worth of accessories just to operate it to make 3 pizzas in their lifetime. haha
In my experience, your reply tells me you're not doing it right ... At all.

If you are going up to 800, it has taken me 16 minutes. If you are going to 550, it has taken me 12.
Have made dozens of pizzas in this as well and it has functioned flawlessly and putting out great pizzas. I bought it with the warranty just in case, but it has proven to be a bargain.
