This Gourmia indoor pizza oven and air fryer stands out for fast, restaurant style pizza and flexible cooking modes. The dual top and bottom heating elements, with independent adjustment, are the key draw, and the dough mode, custom bake mode, and analog knobs add useful control. It also handles air frying, toasting, bread, potatoes, and even small cast iron pans. The main tradeoff is the long preheat and cook time, which is normal for stone or steel ovens, and the pizza size is small. A versatile countertop pick if you want pizza first and extra functions second.
Home pizza makers who want adjustable top-and-bottom heat, because independent dual heating elements make pizza bake more evenly and improve the crust.
Families cooking pizza and side dishes in one appliance, because it also works as an air fryer and can roast potatoes or reheat meals in small cast-iron pans.
Yes, it also works as an air fryer, toaster, dough maker, and general small oven. It can handle meals like roasted potatoes, small cast-iron dishes, frozen slices, and bread dough, though it may cook slower than some dedicated air fryers.
Plan on about 25-30 minutes of preheat time so the stone or steel can soak up heat. That warm-up is what helps the pizza bottom cook properly, and it's normal for electric indoor pizza ovens with a stone/steel setup.
Yes, it has dual heating elements on top and bottom, and each element can be adjusted independently. That setup is important for getting even pizza browning and better control over the crust and toppings.
Yes, it can make pizza fast and help the crust puff up on the sides like a restaurant pie. Using the top and bottom heat settings well is key, and one workflow mentioned is about 5 minutes total with a turn at 3 minutes for NY-style pizza.
Yes, holding the start button for about 5 seconds reportedly disables the annoying beeping, leaving only the food-ready alerts. That makes silent operation easier if you use it often.
Not sure how it compares, but Ross has the Cuisinart CPZ-120 on sale for $59 right now, half of what they sold it for during Xmas. Was really tempted but saw that it takes 25 minutes to warm before you can cook a pizza, not sure if this one is the same?

Any electric with a stone is going to take that long. Even my gas ooni needs 30 minutes before it is ready.
Not a big deal IMO as you can turn it on before you start your prep.
The thing about these indoor ovens is the really small pizza size.

Yeah the preheat time is pretty standard for all types of pizza ovens. You want the stone (or steel) to "soak" the heat. Otherwise when you add the pizza the bottom wont cook right.
The most important feature I have found on a pizza oven is dual heating elements top and bottom. This model not only has that but also the ability to adjust each heating element independently!

I know this is an apple to oranges comparison, but my air fryer oven/grill has dual adjustable top and bottom heating elements and it really does make a huge difference when I bake a pizza and other things.
Thinking about getting one for the bagel function.
I just use the rack.
Setting 3 when oven is cold is PERFECT.
Setting 2 when oven is hot (from prior bagel).
Soft steamy middle; crispy outside.
I buy the Marketplace Asiago bagels from Walmart.
For NY style pizza, I use 525*F top and 675*F bottom. About 5 minutes with a turn at 3 min.
I use Trader Joe's dough ($1.70), but I heard Safeway is okay, too ($3). Whole Foods has the best dough ($5) per reviews, but I am not paying >2x when TJ is perfectly fine to me. Just split the 16oz in half and make pizza dough balls. Let them sit for 2-3 hours room temp, and the dough will stretch thin to 12" just fine.
For gluten free, Trader Joe's GF dough (rolled thin). I also made some of Red Mill's GF pizza flour mix, and if rolled thin under plastic wrap, and pre-baked (5 min), it is pretty good also as a cracker crust; I made like five or six 8"-10" paper thin crusts with a package of Red Mill's GF pizza flour mix.

love this device, use it daily. i think there are perhaps better air fryers out there (this one takes a while to cook) but none that also double as a pizza oven. also i've taken to using small cast iron pans to heat up meals in this, roast potatoes and pizzas are spectacular in this.
the zojurishi virtuoso plus i picked up over christmas means pizza dough is infinitely renewable.

i like putting a whole potato doused with avacado oil and kosher salt at 400*F on the wire rack for 30 minutes. then its ready to go or you can put in fridge for later and slice it up into wedges and it only needs 10-12 min @ 425F with some olive oil sprayed and salt.

The oven can preheat so the stone or steel soaks heat before cooking, improving bottom doneness.
The device supports both pizza-oven cooking and air-fryer style meals, including roasting potatoes in it.
Dual heating elements let you adjust top and bottom heat independently for better pizza results.
Analog knobs make temperature control easier than tapping through digital controls on comparable models.
Electric pizza ovens with stone or steel can require about 25 to 30 minutes of warm-up before cooking.
Indoor pizza ovens can produce a really small pizza size compared with expectations for larger ovens.
Cooking can take longer than dedicated air fryers, even though the unit also functions as a pizza oven.
