I cooked up this leftover turkey pizza in the new Solo Pi pizza oven. For a first-iteration design and from a company who historically had nothing to do with pizza, this product severely outperformed my expectations. It heats up so fast allowing true Neapolitan pizza at home. Give my review a quick read-through to see the full scoop!
