tl;dr: It is easy to control top and bottom temps, can get to higher 800F vs 500F in regular oven, takes less time to pre-heat (20 min to reach 800F vs 30-45 if pre-heating stone or steel to 500-550F in big oven)
************************
It's a very good question. This oven will get the temperature (both the bottom stone and top can be controlled separately and precisely) to a much higher temperature than your kitchen stove's oven (which probably maxes out around 500-550F. That is useful for certain types of pizzas, such as Neapolitan-style pizzas needing such high temperatures (650-800F).
The smaller size of this oven also means it takes less time and electricity to pre-heat, though it will still take about 20 minutes. If you use a pizza stone or baking steel in your conventional oven, it can take half an hour or longer to get the stone or steel pre-heated in order to cook the pizza crust just right. The small pizza ovens have the heating element right under the stone so it heats faster.
At $80, this is at a price point where it may be practical to get if you plan to make or re-heat pizzas often, more so than spending $200-$900 on similar electric pizza ovens, where you may be better off just buying a pizza stone/steel for $20-$30 and using in your regular oven if you just make an occasional pizza. If you make pizzas bigger than 12", you need to do that in your regular oven.
EDIT: Some of the comments from those using this or similar ovens who are experimenting making different pizzas, is that you really have to experiment and adjust the temperatures of the bottom stone and top heating element to get the right combination for the style of pizza you are making, and this is easier to do with a small oven where you can set separate temps for each.
This was our 1st pizza oven so don't have what to compare it to, but the pizza my wife makes in it tastes really good
Also, when we 1st opened it, my wife dropped the pizza stone while unboxing it and it cracked. We reached out to Gourmia and they sent us a new stone free of charge. So really happy with the customer service
The Ooni 12" electric pizza oven is something like 1000% more expensive (so you can buy 11 Gourmia pizza ovens for one Ooni). You can do a search for reviews of the Gourmia and Ooni. I think there are very few people who have both to compare side by side.
Walmart[walmart.com] has Gourmia Countertop Indoor Electric Pizza Oven w/ 6 Pizza Presets & Simple Touch Controls for $80. Shipping is free.

I have the pizza oven + air fryer version. No complaints. Cranked up to 800 degrees F top and bottoms and my napoli style pizzas are done in under 3 minutes with one turn. It also heats up really fast as a regular oven/air fryer. Had to buy my own pizza paddle though.

May be very silly question but if we have large oven included with the cooktop then why people need this explicitly. Does this make pizzas better than that oven? Just wanted to understand. Thanks

The fail rate on the panel/control is high. Already been through one. Buy the Allstate warranty or enjoy this thing for one safe year if you make it past the first few uses. It makes a great pizza. I have the Ooni version as well. They are in different classes but also price categories.

OK, it looks like you're that person who has both the $899 Ooni Volt and this $80 Gourmia. Can you describe when you use one or the other and what the advantages/disadvantages of each area?
Good advice on the Walmart (Allstate) warranty, which adds $10 (2-year) or $13 (3-year) to the price. I got the 3-year, as for just $3 more than the 2-year, I think that's worth the cost for an appliance using such high current.
Thanks.
