Undercooking and overcooking can be big problems with most pizza ovens because they centralize heat in one small area. The design of the Model P ensures a uniform heat and uses a proprietary algorithm to cycle power among graphite and calrod elements, eliminating the need to open the door or turn the pizza. Its app features a Pizza Build Calculator, allowing users to personalize each 12-inch pizza based on their chosen amounts of sauce, cheese, toppings and even dough thickness, computing a customized time and temperature for perfect cooking. The Model P will be available for purchase in Q2 2025 with an MSRP of $599, bringing commercial-grade durability and striking industrial design to the home, indoors or out.
Attendees of CES Unveiled Las Vegas, located at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in the Shoreline Exhibit Hall, can experience firsthand how the Current Pizza Oven transforms the pizza-making experience.
