How we worked this out
This lines up the current strong and useful fit ratings for the exact products. It does not roll them into one overall score.
These needs do not split the pair
Both meet the same 5 of the 5 needs this comparison is built around, so the choice comes down to “status” and “on-oven modes”.
How we worked this out
Both products are checked against the same needs. The first verified differences still standing are named here.
Models that handle “Cook safely with the oven indoors” and “Check on or adjust a cook from a phone”
2 of the 25 pizza ovens checked handle both “Cook safely with the oven indoors” and “Check on or adjust a cook from a phone”. Both make the cut.
How we worked this out

Option A
Current, 26553205 smart electric pizza oven, Slate
Model P+
Model P's current version holds on to the connected 850°F platform and places eight cook modes right on the oven, so they are easy to reach directly.
- Best for
- A connected electric oven from the current line that has more modes on its panel
Facts we checked
- On the Model P+, the oven reaches 850°F, with a 13 by 13-inch stone sized for 12-inch pizza.
- The Current app handles monitoring and custom cook times, and eight modes can be reached from the oven itself.
- Indoor or outdoor use calls for 120V at 1,750W, the published electrical requirement.
Option B
Current, 25553205 smart electric pizza oven, Slate
Model P
This connected electric oven works indoors or outdoors, with separate top and bottom heat, a 12-inch stone and handy pizza programs.
- Best for
- Electric pizza guided by an app, with top and bottom heat controlled separately
Facts we checked
- Pizza up to 12 inches fits on the 13 by 13-inch stone, and the oven gets to 850°F.
- A 31-pound product weight and a 120V, 1,750W supply are listed by Current.
- Temperature monitoring and custom cook programs on the first Model P run over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Current Model P+ | Current Model P | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Status | Current model | Last-chance model | Setup and everyday use depend on it more than the core physical job does. |
| On-oven modes | Eight | Five core modes plus app recipes | How many steps fall to you and how much happens automatically both come down to this. |
| Published power | 1,750W | 1,750W | Both models show the same result for “Published power”, so this row won't decide between them. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Current Model P+
- Independent testing over the long term is thinner for Current's newer pizza-oven line than for Ooni or Breville.
With Current Model P
- Monitoring and custom cooks come through the app, though getting a stable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection working is an extra setup step.
