The Betty Crocker Pizza Maker Plus is my best overall pick among these breakfast pizza makers, with a 12-inch cooking surface suited to a full-size morning pie. The Chefman Everything Maker is a flexible alternative for cooks who want nonstick plates for more than pizza, while the 2-in-1 Breakfast Maker pairs a pizza oven with a toaster for a more breakfast-focused setup. The main tradeoffs are cooking space, countertop footprint, and whether you want one dedicated appliance or a multi-use machine. Smaller models suit solo portions, while larger makers offer more room for eggs and toppings. Read on for the full comparison and help matching a maker to your kitchen.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Betty Crocker Pizza Maker Plus, 12-Inch Indoor Grill, 1440W, Red
The Betty Crocker Pizza Maker Plus earns its place for households that want one appliance to handle breakfast and pizza without heating a full oven. Its 12-inch cooking surface and top-and-bottom nonstick plates suit personal pizzas, pancakes, quesadillas, and panini, while the ready light takes some guesswork out of preheating. Compared with the single-setting Chefman Everything Maker, it offers a similarly broad cooking role but has less product information here about heat level and storage. The self-regulating thermostat keeps operation simple, though it also leaves cooks with limited control over browning. Cleanup is straightforward on the nonstick plates, but they require hand washing. I’d skip this model if dishwasher-safe parts or delivery to certain states are a must.
Pros:- 12-inch surface accommodates a personal pizza and a range of breakfast foods
- Top-and-bottom nonstick plates cook food without requiring an oven
- Power and temperature-ready lights make preheating easier to judge
Cons:- Nonstick plates require hand washing
- Self-regulating thermostat offers no stated temperature adjustment
- Shipping is unavailable to several listed states
Best for: Households that want a straightforward 12-inch appliance for breakfast foods, quesadillas, and homemade pizza
Not ideal for: Buyers who need dishwasher-safe cleanup, adjustable heat, or shipping to Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, or Vermont
- Brand:Betty Crocker
- Model:BC-2958CR
- Cooking surface:12 inches
- Power:1440W
- Cooking plates:Nonstick, top and bottom
- Thermostat:Self-regulating
- Indicators:Power and temperature-ready lights
- Warranty:1 year
Our verdict“Choose this Betty Crocker if you want a simple, versatile 12-inch cooker and can manage hand washing and its shipping limits.”
Chefman Everything Maker & Pizza Oven – 1440W Countertop Electric Pizza Maker with 12″ Nonstick Cooking Plates
The Chefman Everything Maker stands out for cooks who need a full-size pizza surface but limited counter storage. Its 12-inch nonstick plates reach up to 428°F, and the unit stores vertically with integrated cord storage; that combination gives it a practical advantage over the Baker’s Friend Countertop Pizza Maker, which lists hidden cord storage but no vertical-storage feature. The Chefman also handles omelettes, pancakes, and quesadillas, making it useful for breakfast beyond pizza. Its main compromise is control: there is just one temperature setting, so cooks can’t tailor heat for different toppings or browning preferences. At 15 inches deep, it still occupies meaningful space when in use, and its broad cooking range doesn’t make it a small appliance on the counter.
Pros:- 12-inch nonstick plates reach up to 428°F
- Vertical storage and integrated cord storage help reclaim space after use
- Versatile surface handles pizza, omelettes, pancakes, and quesadillas
- Five-year warranty
Cons:- Single temperature setting limits control over cooking and browning
- Its 15-inch depth takes up substantial counter space during use
Best for: Apartment cooks who want a 12-inch pizza maker that can be stored upright between breakfast and dinner use
Not ideal for: Cooks who want adjustable temperature control or have too little counter space for a 15-inch-deep appliance while it is in use
- Wattage:1440W
- Voltage:120V
- Cooking area:12 inches
- Maximum temperature:428°F
- Dimensions:15 × 13 × 4 inches
- Weight:6 pounds
- Settings:1
- Warranty:5 years
Our verdict“Pick the Chefman if vertical storage and high heat matter more to you than fine temperature control.”
Baker’s Friend Countertop Pizza Maker, 12-Inch, 1400W, Graphite
The Baker’s Friend Countertop Pizza Maker is a good fit for cooks who want a 12-inch surface and a slightly lighter appliance than the Chefman Everything Maker. At 5.5 pounds, it is easier to move for storage, while its 1400W dual heating plates support pizza, crepes, sandwiches, and omelettes. Preheat lights reduce guesswork, and hidden cord storage tidies the counter. Compared with the Betty Crocker Pizza Maker Plus, the Baker’s Friend supplies explicit dual-plate heating and a listed weight, but both have nonstick surfaces and a broad breakfast-friendly role. The tradeoff is a firm size ceiling: this maker is limited to pizzas up to 12 inches, so it won’t suit larger pies or batch cooking. Its 1400W rating also sits just below the 1440W models in this lineup.
Pros:- Dual heating plates support cooking from both sides
- Preheat indicator lights show when the unit is ready
- Hidden cord storage helps keep counters tidy
Cons:- Cooking surface limits pizzas to 12 inches
- At 5.5 pounds, it may be cumbersome to move frequently
- 1400W is lower than the listed 1440W on the Betty Crocker Pizza Maker Plus and Chefman
Best for: Cooks who want a movable 12-inch pizza maker for personal pies and occasional breakfast dishes
Not ideal for: Households that regularly make pizzas larger than 12 inches or need to cook several portions at once
- Brand:Baker’s Friend
- Model:BF2-12PM01G
- Wattage:1400W
- Power source:Electric
- Dimensions:13 × 15 × 3.9 inches
- Weight:5.5 pounds
- Color:Graphite
- Material:Metal and plastic
Our verdict“Choose the Baker’s Friend if you want a movable 12-inch cooker with dual heating and can work within its size limit.”
2-in-1 Breakfast Maker with Non-Stick Frying Pan, 6-Slice Toaster & Electric Pizza Oven, 1200W with Timer
This 2-in-1 Breakfast Maker takes a different approach from the countertop pizza makers: it combines a toaster, frying pan, and small oven in one unit. Its 0.5-cubic-foot interior fits an 11-inch pizza or six slices of bread, making it the lineup’s clearest choice for cooks who want toast and pizza baking from the same appliance. Nine functions, including toast, broil, bake, and warm, cover more meal types than the Betty Crocker Pizza Maker Plus, but the oven format is less suited to the quick, two-sided cooking of a clamshell pizza maker. Knob controls and a timer keep operation simple; they don’t provide a digital display or stated precise temperature adjustment. The capacity also sets a limit on larger dishes and pizzas.
Pros:- Combines a toaster, frying pan, and electric pizza oven
- Nine cooking functions cover toast, bake, broil, pizza, and more
- Interior fits an 11-inch pizza or six slices of bread
- Removable crumb tray supports routine cleanup
Cons:- 0.5-cubic-foot capacity limits the size of dishes and pizzas
- Knob controls lack a digital display and stated precise temperature settings
- At 16 inches wide and 15 inches deep, it requires dedicated counter space
Best for: Small households that want one countertop unit for toast, breakfast cooking, and pizzas up to 11 inches
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a larger pizza capacity, precise temperature settings, or the compact storage of a flat clamshell cooker
- Wattage:1200W
- Power source:Electric
- Capacity:0.5 cubic feet
- Pizza capacity:Up to 11 inches
- Dimensions:15 × 16 × 7 inches
- Control type:Knob control
- Cooking functions:9
- Included components:Baking pan, broiling rack, crumb tray, grill, and oven mitt
Our verdict“Choose this unit if replacing separate toaster and pizza appliances matters more than pizza capacity or precise controls.”
Betty Crocker 7.5″ Mini Pizza & Meal Maker, 1000W Indoor Electric Grill, Nonstick Pan for Pizzas, Quesadillas, Nachos, Red (BC-5962RC)
The Betty Crocker Mini Pizza & Meal Maker is the space-saving choice for single portions, not a smaller substitute for a family pizza oven. Its 7.5-inch cooking area suits personal pizzas, nachos, quesadillas, and pancakes, and the 2.8-pound body is easier to tuck away than the 12-inch Chefman Everything Maker. The 1000W rating is lower than the full-size models, but it serves the quick-snack role this compact cooker is designed for. A nonstick pan simplifies cleanup, although the supplied details don’t specify dishwasher safety or a ready light. The small surface quickly becomes a limitation if you want to cook multiple portions or make a larger pizza. Plastic construction may also feel less substantial than the metal-and-plastic full-size alternatives.
Pros:- Compact 7.5-inch size suits personal portions
- At 2.8 pounds, it is easy to move and store
- Nonstick pan handles pizza, quesadillas, nachos, and pancakes
Cons:- Small cooking area rules out larger pizzas and multiple portions
- Plastic construction may feel less sturdy than the full-size metal-and-plastic models
- No precise temperature control is listed
Best for: Students, solo cooks, and small-kitchen owners making personal pizzas and quick snacks
Not ideal for: Families or anyone who regularly cooks pizzas larger than 7.5 inches or several servings at once
- Brand:Betty Crocker
- Model:BC-5962RC
- Cooking surface:7.5 inches
- Wattage:1000W
- Control type:Knob control
- Power source:AC
- Dimensions:9.75 × 7.5 × 4.5 inches
- Weight:2.8 pounds
Our verdict“Choose this mini maker for personal snacks in a tight kitchen, but pick a 12-inch model for shared meals.”
NutriChef 12.5″ Countertop Pizza & Everything Maker – Red
The NutriChef earns its place for breakfast pizzas that benefit from adjustable heat: its 260°F–430°F range gives more control across dough styles and toppings than the listed Zenith Versa Grill, whose description does not specify a temperature range. Dual heating plates warm from above and below, which can help cook toppings while browning the base without turning the pizza. Its 12.5-inch surface offers a little more room than the Zenith’s 12-inch cooking surface, though both suit personal-size meals rather than a family-sized pie. The tradeoff is a straightforward appliance without a convection fan or other advanced cooking functions. I’d choose it for flexible countertop cooking and temperature adjustment, but skip it if you need large portions or a more feature-rich oven.
Pros:- Adjustable 260°F–430°F temperature range supports a variety of breakfast pizza styles
- Upper and lower heating plates cook the crust and toppings from both sides
- 12.5-inch cooking surface accommodates personal-size pizzas
- Cool-touch housing and anti-slip feet support countertop use
Cons:- Cooking surface is too small for large pizzas or family-size portions
- No convection fan or rotisserie function
Best for: Home cooks who make personal breakfast pizzas and want adjustable heat for different doughs and toppings
Not ideal for: Families cooking full-size pizzas or buyers who want an appliance with convection or rotisserie functions
- Brand:NutriChef
- Model:NCPIZM12RD
- Power:1500 W
- Temperature range:260°F–430°F
- Cooking surface:12.5 inches
- Non-stick surface:Yes
- Cool-touch housing:Yes
- Warranty:1 year
Our verdict“Choose the NutriChef if you want temperature control and a slightly roomier personal-size surface for breakfast pizza.”
Zenith Versa Grill Non-Stick Pizza Maker – Indoor Electric Grill, Red
The Zenith Versa Grill is a compact pick for cooks who want breakfast pizza alongside quick countertop meals such as omelets and quesadillas. Its 1440W heating element is close in output to the NutriChef’s 1500W, while the removable non-stick surface makes cleanup more convenient after melted cheese or egg-heavy toppings. The listed 12-inch cooking area is slightly smaller than NutriChef’s 12.5-inch surface, and Zenith’s product details do not give an adjustable temperature range, so buyers who want more explicit heat control may prefer the NutriChef. The Zenith is also limited to indoor cooking, and its 14.76-by-12.59-inch footprint may take noticeable counter space for a single-serve appliance. It makes sense for quick personal meals, but less so for larger pizzas or kitchens short on room.
Pros:- 1440W heating element is designed for quick countertop cooking
- Removable non-stick surface simplifies cleanup
- Versatile format handles pizza, calzones, omelets, and quesadillas
- Compact height allows countertop storage in many kitchens
Cons:- 12-inch cooking area limits it to personal-size pizzas
- Product details do not specify an adjustable temperature range
- Indoor-only appliance with a sizable footprint for single-serve cooking
Best for: Apartment cooks who want a countertop appliance for personal breakfast pizzas, omelets, and quesadillas
Not ideal for: Households that need large pizzas or cooks seeking detailed temperature settings or outdoor use
- Brand:Zenith
- Model name:Versa Grill
- Model number:77373
- Power:1440 W
- Cooking surface:12 inches
- Dimensions:14.76 × 12.59 × 3.93 inches
- Non-stick surface:Yes; removable
- Use:Indoor
Our verdict“Pick the Zenith for fast indoor personal meals and removable non-stick cleanup; choose the NutriChef if adjustable heat matters more.”
How We Picked
I compared the seven listed appliances on the details that affect breakfast pizza decisions: cooking surface size, stated wattage, nonstick cooking surfaces, multifunction features, and how much counter space their format is likely to claim. A larger surface can handle a family-style pie, while a mini maker is easier to match to a single serving. Combined toaster or multi-use features can reduce appliance clutter, but they add functions that may matter less to someone focused on pizza.
The Betty Crocker Pizza Maker Plus ranks first as a straightforward 12-inch, 1440W choice. The Chefman follows for its nonstick plates and broad use, and the dedicated 12-inch makers offer alternatives for shoppers who prefer a simpler pizza format. The 2-in-1 appliance ranks for breakfast station convenience, while the mini model serves a distinct portion-size need. I treat missing specifications—such as temperature adjustment, plate depth, and cleanup details—as unknown rather than assuming an advantage.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Breakfast Pizza Makers
For breakfast pizza, the right appliance depends on the size of your usual meal and what else you want it to cook. These choices span individual makers, full-size countertop models, and appliances that combine pizza cooking with other breakfast tasks.
Match the cooking surface to your usual serving size
A listed diameter tells you the broad footprint of a pizza, but it does not tell you how much usable room remains once the crust and toppings are in place. Think about whether you make one personal pie, feed several people, or cook multiple portions in sequence. A smaller maker may save storage space, though repeated batches can slow a shared breakfast. Before buying, compare the cooking plate dimensions with the plates or boards you use to serve breakfast. If you often cook for a group, prioritize surface area over a compact body. For one-person meals, a large appliance may take counter space without improving the routine.
Check temperature control and cooking guidance
Eggs, cheese, and pre-cooked breakfast toppings can finish at different rates, so predictable heat matters more than a headline wattage alone. Look for a manual that explains preheating, cooking times, and whether the appliance offers adjustable temperature settings. Do not assume that two 1440W machines cook identically; plate design and heat distribution also affect results. If you plan to use fresh dough, confirm that the maker can accommodate its thickness and that the instructions address uncooked toppings. A timer can help with routine, but it does not replace temperature control. When specifications are unclear, favor a retailer listing or manual that answers these points before purchase.
Decide whether extra functions earn their space
Multi-use appliances can be helpful when they replace equipment you already lack, such as a toaster or a second small cooker. Their value drops if those added functions duplicate appliances you use every day. Consider where the appliance will live and whether you can access it without moving several other items. Hinged cooking plates and multi-function designs can change storage needs, so check the full dimensions, not just the cooking diameter. A dedicated pizza maker may be simpler to store and operate if breakfast pizza is its main job. Choose extra features to solve a real kitchen constraint, not just because the appliance lists more uses.
Treat wattage as one clue, not a speed promise
Wattage describes electrical power draw, but it does not by itself establish preheat time, browning, or how evenly food cooks. Compare wattage alongside the appliance’s cooking surface, instructions, and any published temperature range. Also check your kitchen’s outlet and circuit guidance if you expect to run several high-draw appliances during a busy morning. A more powerful maker may suit frequent cooking, yet it could be less convenient if its size and cord placement complicate setup. Avoid choosing solely by the largest number on the product page. The useful question is whether the appliance’s heating design suits your meal size and routine.
Plan for cleanup and storage before buying
Breakfast toppings can leave oil and cheese around plate edges, so cleanup affects whether a machine gets used regularly. Confirm whether the cooking plates are removable, whether the manufacturer allows water near the hinge or controls, and what cleaning tools are recommended. Nonstick surfaces can ease food release, but they still call for care that avoids scratching the coating. Check how the appliance stores, including whether its lid locks upright or it needs a full shelf. A compact maker may be easier to put away yet still need room for its cord. These practical details can matter more over time than a small difference in stated wattage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cook raw eggs directly in a breakfast pizza maker?
That depends on the appliance’s cooking surface, temperature behavior, and instructions. Check whether the maker’s manual gives guidance for eggs or wet toppings, since runny ingredients can cook unevenly or escape the crust. Some cooks prefer to partially cook eggs before adding them to a pizza, which gives more control over doneness. Avoid assuming that nonstick plates alone make every recipe suitable. Follow the maker’s guidance and use a recipe sized for its cooking area.
Is a 12-inch model meaningfully better than the 7.5-inch mini maker?
It is better for larger pies and shared servings, but the smaller model may be more practical for one person or a tight kitchen. The listed diameter is only one part of the choice; the larger appliance also needs more counter and storage room. If you cook several individual pizzas back to back, compare that time with making one larger pie. A mini format can help with portion control, while a full-size maker gives toppings more room. Pick based on servings you make most often rather than occasional entertaining.
Should I choose the toaster-and-pizza combo over a dedicated pizza maker?
Choose the combo if a built-in toaster fits your morning routine and replaces counter appliances you would otherwise keep. It may be less compelling when you already have a toaster or prefer to cook breakfast components separately. Check how much counter space the combined unit needs and whether the toaster and pizza functions can be used as your household expects. Dedicated makers keep attention on pizza cooking and may be simpler to store. The extra function is useful only if you will regularly use it.
Does higher wattage mean breakfast pizza cooks faster?
Not by itself. Wattage is one clue about power draw, while preheating and cooking also depend on plate design, temperature control, and how much food is loaded. Product listings here do not provide a consistent set of cook-time or temperature data for all seven models. Compare the manufacturer instructions and look for recipes that match your crust and toppings. If speed is a priority, verify published preheat and cook guidance rather than inferring it from wattage.
What should I check before using store-bought or homemade dough?
Check the cooking plate diameter and depth, then confirm that the manual supports the dough type and thickness you plan to use. Dough can expand as it cooks, so adding too much may press against the lid or spill toward the edges. Homemade dough may need a different cook time from a prepared crust, and toppings can affect moisture. Start with the maker’s recommended recipe or a conservative portion. Confirm that the appliance’s surface and cleanup instructions suit your dough before relying on it for regular batches.
Conclusion
For most households choosing a full-size countertop machine, I recommend the Betty Crocker Pizza Maker Plus as the best overall, thanks to its 12-inch surface and 1440W rating. The best value-style choice is the Baker’s Friend if you want a straightforward 12-inch pizza maker without a long list of extra functions; confirm its included controls and instructions before deciding. For a premium-style multifunction pick, the Chefman Everything Maker is the option to consider when nonstick cooking plates and broader uses matter. Beginners who want another breakfast appliance in the same unit may prefer the 2-in-1 Breakfast Maker, while solo cooks or space-limited kitchens have a clear fit in the Betty Crocker Mini. Choose the NutriChef or Zenith Versa Grill when their listed format and size better suit your kitchen, and compare their full specifications before purchase.
