What happens when technology meets tradition in the kitchen? Breville Philippines recently gave media guests and influencers the delicious answer through its Pizza Masterclass, a hands-on culinary session held in collaboration with the Center for Culinary Arts (CCA) Manila.
Guided by Chef Ram Morales of Pomodoro Pizza and Chef Chad Joseph Datu, Breville’s own corporate chef, participants got to experience the thrill of crafting their own pizzas—from kneading the dough to sliding their creations into Breville’s revolutionary Smart Oven™ Pizzaiolo.
Within just a couple of minutes, the pizzas came out perfectly baked—bubbly crusts, beautifully charred edges, and that irresistible cheesy pull—all achieved without a traditional brick oven. From meaty, veggie-packed, to even dessert pizzas topped with fruits, candies, and cream, everyone discovered how easy it is to recreate restaurant-level quality right at home.
Redefining Home Pizza-Making
The star of the show, of course, was the Breville Smart Oven™ Pizzaiolo, the world’s first compact home oven capable of reaching 400°C—the temperature that defines true Neapolitan-style pizza. Despite its countertop size, it mimics the performance of authentic Italian brick ovens by combining conductive, radiant, and convective heat.
This technology ensures the crust gets that satisfying chew and char, the toppings cook evenly, and the flavor retains the smoky depth that pizza lovers crave. With Breville’s Element IQ® System, heat is intelligently distributed exactly where it’s needed—making every bake consistent, whether you prefer New York, Pan, Thin & Crispy, or even frozen pizza styles.
Smart Design Meets Everyday Convenience
Beyond power and precision, the Pizzaiolo was designed for safety and ease. Its double-pane, heat-resistant window and multi-layer insulation keep the exterior cool to the touch, even when it’s blazing inside. The oven’s deck-to-door loading system also makes sliding pizzas in and out seamless and safe.
Meanwhile, Breville’s patented reflectors and heating elements take care of even browning and the sought-after “leopard spots” on the crust—no need to rotate the pizza midway. It’s an oven that truly does the hard work for you, so you can focus on creativity.
Elevating Every Pizza Night
For those who joined the event, the experience was a revelation: that professional-level pizza-making isn’t confined to restaurants anymore.
“The best thing about the Pizzaiolo is its versatility,” shared masterclass participant Sherriebelle de Leon, whose Four Cheese Pizza was a crowd favorite. “You can also use it for dishes like grilled vegetables. It gives you the confidence to host pizza nights with friends or simply enjoy dinner with the family.”
With its precision heat technology, thoughtful design, and unmatched performance, Breville’s Smart Oven™ Pizzaiolo isn’t just about making pizza—it’s about transforming how people experience food at home.
A New Era for Home Chefs
Whether you’re craving a chewy Neapolitan, a hearty deep-dish, or a crisp bar-style slice, the Pizzaiolo delivers every time. It’s proof that Breville continues to innovate, blending cutting-edge engineering with a deep respect for the culinary craft.
For today’s home cooks, it’s not just an oven—it’s a ticket to Italy, right on your kitchen counter.
