Surprise! It’s National Pizza Month. That gives you the perfect excuse for eating pizza every day this month. Thanks to the Cuisinart Alfrescamoré Outdoor Pizza Oven, you can have a freshly baked pizza any time you want. It gives the environment of a real brick oven, without taking up all of the space!
Isn’t it cute? It’s perfect for your backyard BBQ’s. Since all we have in our place is a teeny tiny outside patio (I’m talking like 3 x 7 feet small), we don’t have a lot of room for cooking outside. This outdoor pizza oven solved our problems. It allowed us to enjoy the nice Los Angeles weather while making a delicious meal.
Plus, it’s portable! Take it with you when you’re going over to someone’s house for a tailgating party. It weighs 35 pounds and assembles in less than ten minutes, so I’m not afraid to do it myself since I usually rely on my DH for of the grunt work. The pizza oven retails for $249.99 and you can find it online at BedBathBeyond.com, Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com and Cuisinart.com.
The caramelized onion, prosciutto, and goat cheese pizza came looking perfect. My pizza dough never gets those beautiful air bubbles in it like the ones at the restaurant. In this particular pizza, I had two!
I chose to make a pizza with goat cheese since my DH started working today and I wanted to make him something that he loved… a little surprise to come home to. I knew he was a sucker for goat cheese, so it was the perfect opportunity to combine it with the pizza oven.
It’s definitely a winner in my book. The pizza oven advertises to cooking pizzas in as little as five minutes, but mine took a little longer than that. Just make sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
