Xiaomi will sell you in the kitchen a rice cooker, a hot air fryer, and a multifunctional oven, but it doesn’t have a proper pizza oven in the lineup. The most powerful Mijia Smart Oven with a 40-liter capacity tops out at 230 °C, and the same ceiling applies to the pizza oven Rouny from its ecosystem. Meanwhile, pizza from a pizzeria is baked on a stone preheated to 400 °C and up. That temperature is handled by the Klaif electric pizza oven, which goes all the way to 420 °C, and thanks to the November clearance sale 11.11 it’s just 43 €.
Margherita from the pizzeria via Wolt costs roughly 6,50 to 10 € depending on the city, and that’s still without the delivery fee—so the oven costs about the same as five of those pizzas. The pizza is ready in it in three to four minutes, and over ten people who wrote to us in the comments under our Facebook posts told us how well they bake in it at home.
We’ve been tracking the price of this oven since the end of February. In October, when we wrote about it for the first time, it stayed between 50 and 54 € and, outside of sales, it mostly didn’t drop below 47 €. With code from 11.11, the oven is now €6 to €10 cheaper. The 11.11 sale runs until 18 November.
Pizzeria on the kitchen counter, delivered from Poland
Klaif sells on AliExpress through a verified seller who ships it from a Polish warehouse. The courier usually delivers it in 7 to 10 days; VAT and customs duty are already included in the price and you don’t pay anything else. In the price box you’ll also find a pizza shovel, without which spreading dough onto a blazing-hot stone is pretty tough.

Ooni asks for 599 €, Italians for over 100 €
Electric pizza ovens aren’t new. The British brand Ooni, known mostly by fans of gas ovens for the garden, sells an electric Ooni Volt 2 in its European store for 599 €. It heats to 450 °C, has a 1600 W power rating, and—according to the manufacturer—bakes Neapolitan pizza in 90 seconds. It’s in a different class: it has digital controls and better insulation, but it costs more than ten times as much.
Klaif is closer to the Italian G3 Ferrari Delizia, which Slovak shops on Heureka list for roughly 96 to 112 € depending on the color. It works on the same principle with a stone between two heating elements and has the same 1200 W power rating. However, the manufacturer states a maximum of 390 °C, which is 30 degrees less than with Klaif.
Two years ago, Ladislav bought a near-identical-looking oven from a reputable brand and paid about two and a half times more than what Klaif cost in October. It didn’t have a window, a thermometer, separate controls for the top and bottom heating elements, or a removable stone—features that Klaif does have.
After five pizzas, you get it back
Jozef has had the oven for a month and baked about 20 pizzas in it. If you ordered them from a pizzeria for 8 euros each, you’d leave around 160 €, and that’s without delivery. At home you only pay for ingredients and electricity—the oven doesn’t use much. With a 1200 W power draw, it consumes the most at about 0,4 kWh: a quarter-hour of preheating and four minutes of baking, so for electricity, one pizza costs you roughly ten cents at a typical rate.
You don’t even have to make the dough. Several owners buy a ready-made base at Lidl for a few euros, and according to them it puffs up nicely on the hot stone—even with bubbles inside. But a regular home oven usually stops around 250 °C and bakes the pizza in 10 to 15 minutes, so the dough dries out before the bottom properly browns.
Michal doesn’t want another pizza
In the comments under our posts, people most often praise how quickly the pizza bakes in it. Owners say they take it out even earlier than the manufacturer states. Michal even has an older version without a window and thermometer—and still wouldn’t replace it.
Michal: „We have the older version without a window or a thermometer. The pizza from it is fantastic—I don’t want anything else. 2 – 3 minutes in, and it’s done. We also tried frozen pizza, but the taste is awful, as always.“
In the discussion, people most often worry that the oven might be too small, and Dominik answers them right away. Richard wrote about it from delivery all the way to the final verdict: no miracles expected from it, and he explains why he bought it.
Dominik: „I have it too and it’s really awesome. It makes pizzas about 32 cm on average, but that’s more than enough. I recommend buying this pizza oven.“
Richard: „For that price, it’s great—it depends what you expect from it. Of course, for 50 € you can’t expect miracles, but if you dial in the settings, you can make an awesome pizza. I mainly bought it because of the price and because I don’t have to ruin an expensive oven at home.“
Skeptical comments also popped up in the discussion, like “another piece of junk,” but not a single one was written by someone who actually owns the oven at home.
A Polish test showed 550 °C on the upper heating element
A Polish site czajna.pl tested an oven with a thermometer. The top part reached over 550 °C after ten minutes. The stone that determines the crispy bottom was at about 340 °C at that time and after fifteen minutes it hit 390 °C. So, before the first pizza, let the oven heat up for at least a quarter of an hour; then it goes one after another.
The control is completely analog. Each heating element has its own rotary knob with five levels, so you can set the bottom and the top independently, and the timer lets you turn it up to 10 minutes. The ceramic stone with a diameter of 32 cm is removable—after baking, you let it cool down and clean it outside the oven. Besides pizza, you can bake calzones, quesadillas, or cinnamon rolls in it.
The oven measures 34 × 33 × 16,5 cm and, according to czajna.pl, weighs about 4,8 kg, so after baking you can store it without any trouble in a normal kitchen cupboard.
What to watch out for
The oven has no app, display, or automatic shut-off. When the timer runs out, it just rings and the heating keeps going, so don’t leave it while baking. The cover heats up to about 160 °C according to czajna.pl’s test, and the hot handles are also hot, so you’ll need an oven mitt. The thermometer on the cover shows less than what the heating elements and the stone have. During the first bakes, you may also notice a faint smell of plastic.
The pizza has a diameter of 32 cm, which is a normal portion for two people, so a four-person family will bake it twice. Martin recommends turning the pizza 90° after three minutes, because directly under the top heating element it can brown a little too much. And don’t put baking paper in the oven, because it’s usually intended only for 220 to 250 °C and will char at 420 °C. The dough belongs directly on the stone, and the peel only needs to be dusted with semolina or flour.
In the discussion, Martin also objected that at 420 °C the pizza should be ready in 90 seconds. But that fast is only possible in a wood-fired or gas oven, which has a much hotter stone and costs several times more. With an electric oven from the outlet, two to four minutes are completely fine.
