Nemco (6215) 20" Countertop Pizza Oven

Bought this Pizza Oven for my Husband's birthday. He had been looking for something that would sit on the counter and go up to 700 degrees. The 550 of our oven just wasn't cutting it for Pizza! It makes terrific pizza. We do the Pie from scratch so can't say what it would do with the frozen kind. (Better not to eat processed food anyway!) Cleanup is easy and small enough that storage is not a problem. Only drawback, my husband wants to make pizza every night. Check back in a year and we might have gained 200 pounds!

If you are wanting the Nemco model that goes up to 700 degrees this is not the model. The model number for the one pictured here is 6215,,,,you will want model 6210 if you want to bake pizza at 700 degrees. Amazon does have both models, but the 6210 sells $457.45 which is about twice as expensive as the 6215.

A warning to anyone using this Nemco pizza oven for the first time: for the first hour or two of operation, it will emit a stinky white smoke from the inside that smells strongly of nasty chemicals. You do not want to cook anything while it is doing this, or your food will taste and smell like these chemicals.It either is not burn-in tested at the factory, or this is an oil coating to prevent rust and corrosion while it is in storage. You cannot immerse it and taking it apart is not recommended, so the only choice is to burn the chemicals out of it the first time you use it..I made sure I very carefully removed the plastic scratch protection film, and removed all styrofoam pellets, but it does this smoking anyway.Either put it under a hood vented outside or take it outside on your driveway or a wood picnic table, and run it through about six heating cycles, turning the timer all the way to the maximum. It will first stop smoking from the main chamber, and then smoke for a while from the side electrical wiring compartment. May want to finish with one or two more timer cycles after it stops smoking to finish pushing out the odor.I haven't even gotten to the point of actually using it yet, but this startup experience sucks.

The first unit I received did not work at all. I made a call to Tundra Restaurant Supply to get a replacement. Not only did Tundra take care of my issue. They call the manufacture and within a day Nemco sent a new replacement. This unit works fantastic and the unit heats frozen pizza's up evenly as well as a in a short period of time. Fantastic customer service from both the restaurant supply company and the manufacture.

I love this pizza oven. There was a minor problem when I first got it but cust svc was terrific, took care of it right away. It makes a much better pie than my big oven or my breville smart oven. What I never liked about the old methods was that either the top or the crust came out great but never both. With this oven, they both come out great so I'm very happy. I would definitely buy from this company again.
