Make a Gourmet Pie With a Toaster Oven Pizza Pan

If you have a toaster oven but haven't yet used it to make a pizza, you're really missing out. These countertop ovens are perfect for making 11- to 13-inch pizzas. Toaster ovens come to temperature quickly without overheating your kitchen, making a freshly-baked pizza a possibility, even on short notice or in the heat of summer. Whether you are whipping up a gourmet pizza from scratch or heating up a frozen pie, you'll want a toaster oven pizza pan to ensure you get the perfectly crisp crust that you're craving.

The Options

There are a number of toaster oven pizza pan options in the Williams Sonoma collection. Some are designed to work with specific toaster ovens, so check the dimensions of your own toaster oven before selecting one of the following options.

• Breville Smart Oven Pizza Crisper - This 13-inch pan features dozens of holes in the bottom to allow circulation of hot air that will perfectly crisp your pizza's crust. The pan is dishwasher-safe and can be used in a traditional oven as well.
• Breville Pizza Pan for Smart Ovens - This carbon-steel pan is your go-to if you prefer deep dish pizzas. With a 13-inch diameter and 1 3/4-inch sides, it can also be used to roast vegetables or sear meat.
• Breville Smart Oven Pizza Stone - The porous surface of this pizza stone is designed to evenly distribute heat while absorbing moisture to ensure a perfectly crispy crust. Pre-heat the stone to 450° in your toaster or traditional oven for best results.

Wrap it Up

A toaster oven pizza pan would obviously be a thoughtful addition to a gift of a toaster oven, but it would also make a great present in its own right. Pair it with some pizza sauce and a pizza peel or wheel for a gift that's equal parts fun and practical.
