I got two, with the second one I remembered to also get the optional 3-year warranty for $13 (I never get these, but it seems the right thing to do with this). So far I've made 6 healthy pizzas using store-bought 12" crusts and my own toppings and they've been perfect.
Each time I make a pie it goes faster. I prep and place my own toppings on the crust as the pizza oven pre-heats. Soon I'm going to start making real sourdough crusts, I've gotten as far as watching videos on sourdough starter. Online everyone tests and says this does reach 800°, every style of pizza is doable.
It looks good, is not too loud, it's lightweight, does not make a mess at all (at least for me), it's a well-known brand, it comes with a manual and a one-year warranty. Simply know how much power it draws (1800W) so you don't trip a circuit (as with any appliance), and run it outside before the very first time you use it to burn off factory smells (as you would with any pizza oven). But get that 3-year Walmart extended warranty for $13.
If the first one I bought lasts a couple years, I'll then give the second one away as a wedding or housewarming gift (along with one of the 8 acacia cutting boards that I picked up from Walmart this week!).
Before buying I went way down the rabbit hole and spent hours with video reviews of other pizza ovens which are much more expensive, I went to reddit r/pizzaoven and saw that people really liked it. Not many direct videos on this specific oven on YT, but here's a new one from a picky pizza snob https://youtu.be/641zMpkqiR8?si=ml5uuv19nS1cr2oE — my take on his review is that he's made some persnickety judgments on the quality of this oven's pizza results. I think you have to learn from experience from each pizza and then tweak your temperatures. Also the top of the oven is not hot at all. I can rest my hand on it while baking, at least this is true with the oven that I got. But it still is helpful to watch.
If you're having questions or reservations, type "Gourmia" in the SD search bar and you'll find several long threads with several hundred comments which will inform you in every last detail on anything you want to know about this 🍕 oven. Believe me, if you've been wanting to make your own pizzas, this is a screaming deal 🔥
Beware this uses fiber glass for insulation and it is exposed to the air. I literally opened it to double check and found exposed areas where fiberglass is looking at you. this is not great - it is supposed to be concealed
The pizza in this picture was made using Aldi's pre-made dough. It should be around $1.50 and can be found in a box in the open fridge section. The brand is Mama Cozzi. I believe I let this dough proof in the fridge for three days.
Otherwise, I make the dough from scratch, Double zero flour, ~70% moisture.

That looks great! Can you share your crust recipe/ratios?

I've made 1 pizza with this and it was good. Tried to make a second one but it stuck so badly to the peel that I wadded up the mess and tossed it. Also need to clean the inside of the oven as the toppings just shot off the pie and into the oven. This is with the trader joes dough. Oh, and the excess flour on the first pie made a mess, turning black instantly.
What's your trick for not sticking to the peel?

I didn't notice much if any smoking when I did my burn in. Did you actually season the stone (oil it)?
According to most experts, you do not need to season a pizza stone before using it; most modern pizza stones are designed to be ready to cook on right out of the box, and applying oil can actually hinder its performance by preventing it from absorbing moisture from the dough, which is crucial for a crispy crust.

Does the oven really reach 800 deg? The info says it does but on the same page it says max is 450 F
We have made 5 pizzas with ours and love it. I always set it up outside though as it makes the house smell. Are you supposed to season the stone with oil? The manual didn't state that at all, just to run it high for 20 minutes

earlier prediction is that this would crash and fall to $60 range. It was pushed hard before christmas.
There are two versions (target had the generalized 'air fryer' version, walmart had the simplified 'pizza' version.
$80 isn't bad but if you don't need it, my personal take is to hold out for the "oh crap, what are we going to do with this?" fire sale.
