Portable bench-top pizza "ovens" do amazingly well.

They have a heated stone base and large electrical elements in the lid. You have to be careful not to cook it too fast -- you turn it right down between pizzas.

Downside is they only do one at a time but that's usually fine.

[edit - the one we have is very similar to this: New Wave NWKA 1200W Stone Bake Just Pizza Maker (Red) ]

My parents have one of those, they use it maybe twice a year. It does make good pizza though.

They're a like a bread maker in that regard. They seem super useful, but just never get used.

I use my bread maker almost every day, sometimes twice. I dismantled the table top pizza oven because it was useless and now I just use the stone from it in the oven.

I suspect I am an outlier in the bread maker statistics :-)

That only gets up to 280C it looks like, at that point it's not really any different than an oven with a pizza stone
