The catch
Current Model P+
Before clearances, the body stands 3.61 inches taller.
Side by side
Current Model P+ vs Breville Pizzaiolo: Breville fits a lower indoor opening, Current works outdoors too
Quick verdict
Current Model P+ is right for indoor-and-outdoor use and genuine remote oven control. Pizzaiolo is right for its explicit manual deck and top heat controls, lower body height and the pizza pan and peel it includes.

In practice
Differences you will notice
A recipe app and a control app do different jobs
Breville+ gives you recipes and instructions, whereas Current's app can change how the oven operates.
How we worked this out
Breville describes guided recipes and classes for Pizzaiolo. It does not describe connected operation. Current explicitly lists remote temperature control.
A lower body may count for more than a hotter ceiling
By body height, Pizzaiolo is about twenty-five percent lower, which helps when you check a kitchen location.
How we worked this out
(14.21 - 10.6) / 14.21 = 25%, rounded. The required overhead clearance is not part of body height.
Shaping heat by hand is a workflow particular to Pizzaiolo
An experienced cook can work on base heat and topping heat individually thanks to separate deck and top settings.
How we worked this out
Manual deck and top temperature control, along with Crust Only or Even Heat selection, are explicitly listed by Breville.
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
Breville, BPZ820BSS, Brushed Stainless Steel
Smart Oven Pizzaiolo
Element IQ in this refined indoor oven balances floor, radiant and top heat for a number of classic pizza presets.
- Best for
- Indoor consistency without fuss, with real manual control on tap
Facts we checked
- Pizza up to 12 inches fits in the indoor chamber, which reaches 750°F.
- A separate manual mode sits alongside presets for Wood Fired, New York, Pan, Thin and Crispy, and Frozen pizza.
- A pizza peel and pan come with the BPZ820BSS from Breville.
Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Current Model P+ | Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approved use described by manufacturer | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Current suits an outdoor setup that has suitable electrical supply. |
| App role | Remote oven control and monitoring | Breville+ recipes and guidance | In this pairing, controlling the appliance from a phone is offered by Current alone. |
| Published maximum temperature | 850 F | 750 F | A higher ceiling is listed for Current, but no crust-quality advantage is proven here. |
| Body height | 14.21 inches | 10.6 inches | Before required clearances, Pizzaiolo's body is 3.61 inches lower. |
| Included loading and pan tools | Stone and stainless rack | Pizza peel and pizza pan | Breville comes with a different starter tool kit. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Current Model P+
- Neither a peel nor a pizza pan is listed in the standard kit.
With Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo
- Breville+ gives you guidance. It does not control the oven remotely.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
You firmly require an electric oven for outdoor use
Go with Current Model P+. Pizzaiolo's indoor restriction fails that requirement, and Current's indoor-and-outdoor design meets it.
Shaping heat by hand indoors comes first for you, and you will not use remote control
Go with Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo. That hands-on workflow is addressed by Pizzaiolo's separate deck and top settings.
Decision guide
How to decide
Pick Current Model P+ for indoor-and-outdoor use and real remote oven control. Pick Pizzaiolo for explicit manual deck and top heat controls, a lower body height and an included pizza pan and peel.
Outdoor approval is not the same as weatherproof storage
Being able to use Current outdoors is handy, but that does not cover every wet-weather installation or leaving it permanently exposed. For your actual patio spot, follow its electrical, weather and clearance instructions.
Get the details of connectivity right
An app is mentioned by both brands, but only Current's claim here extends to controlling the appliance. Breville+ gives cooking help and does not make Pizzaiolo a remotely controlled oven.
Look at controls before chasing the top temperature
Current publishes a maximum that is one hundred degrees higher, while Pizzaiolo offers detailed manual control over how heat reaches the pizza. Neither fact alone tells you which will bake your dough better.
What this page can’t tell you
- A published temperature ceiling is not a stone temperature measured in a matched test.
- Remote control on Current does not take away the need to supervise a high-temperature oven.

How we calculatedFigures are the top chamber or stone temperature the maker publishes. How fast it recovers heat and how steady it holds it are separate questions. For context, 21 of 25 models publish comparable figures.
