VillaWare PizzaGrill BBQ Pizza Maker

I bought this product for Father's Day this year as we like to make our own pizzas or cook frozen almost every Friday night. My husband also likes to use the grill whether it's summer or winter. What a perfect gift! He loved it and the kids enjoyed making the pizzas to put on the Pizzagrill. It fit perfectly, heated perfectly and they cooked perfectly and had such a great taste. We made 6 different pizzas in one night.......yum!

Inexplicably cracked in half, and apparently you can't replace the stone. So now I have a nice metal frame.

Do you need this product? Probably not, as it is quite expensive for what it really is, a slab of quarry stone elevated on a stainless steel stand. You could easily make your own contraption for much less, but as a gadget person I had to have it. After endless pricing research, the "universal price" seemed to be set at $95-$99, which was too rich for my blood. Then I checked out Amazon and found it for much less then the "universal price". It was still expensive but now at a much more reasonable and palatable price for me to justify it's purchase. The Pizza grill works fine and you can use it on a grill or in an oven but just remember it is only a pizza stone on an elevated stand. It looks great and will impress your friends at presentation time but in the end it is not going improve the taste of your pizza any more than if you used a stone elevated on a couple of bricks wrapped in aluminum foil. I recommend that if you must have it, then look no further than Amazon to make your purchase.

I have a girlfriend who invited us over for dinner and served pizza from her own pizza stone. The pizza was divine! With small children and two working parents, we eat pizza once a week. After ordering my own, we have experimented with pizza 3 times in the last week and a half. The crusts come out nice, brown, crispy. Really happy that I ordered the stone and highly recommend it to others. The stone also works in the oven so don't just think BBQ grill.NEW ADDITION (Jan 5 09). Ok, so months on we are still using and loving the stone. With winter setting in, we have been using it in our oven. Crank the oven up to 500F and let the stone warm up while rolling out the dough and prepping. It is our Friday night ritual. Don't know when the last time was that I ate pizza delivery!

This grill makes the most incredible pizzas without heating up your kitchen, a big plus in Florida. You won't eat delivery ever again. We made the dough in our bread maker, stretched out the dough, topped it and it cooks quick! I also purchased one for our adult son- he says it is going to be a big hit for tailgating. Go Gators!

Ordered this grill on May 14, 2009 from Amazon at the bargain price of $79.99. It's now May 28, 2009 and still no delivery. Mysteriously, the UPS tracking number provided shows no activity other than billing information and Amazon customer service states a refund or replacement can't be processed until the magic date of June 1st. Now, seeing the $20.00 price increase for this item, one might begin to suspect Amazon's engaging in some shipping *monkey business* to avoid completing the transaction at the original $79.99 price.It appears Williams & Sonoma will now be getting my business on this item.

This pizza grill takes a very long time to heat to the proper degree. It does not clean up since you cannot put wqter it. Also, it is very heavy to be llfting in and out of the oven.

I really like being able to make pizza on the grill. It gives it that extra something. The stone is not the easiest to clean still, because it hasn't been used enough to season it thoroughly. Once seasoned I'm sure it will be great. Word of warning to anyone who has never owned or used a stone for cooking...DO NOT try to clean it when it's hot!!! It WILL crack. Wait until it is cold and then just use hot water. NO CLEANER OR SOAP, just water.This was a Christmas present and will be used often. Recommend to anyone looking for that extra something that grill gives.
