Pizzadome: Portable, Personalized Pies

Looks like the fondue pot has a successor with the introduction of the Pizzadome^TM . Plopped right in the center of the dinner table, this portable tabletop Italian-style brick oven creates pizzeria-quality pies. Each person bakes his or her own personal pie, and other items as well, such as calzones, appetizers and desserts (think indoor s'mores) through six openings around the dome top. What allows at-home brick oven pizza to be a reality, according to the founding company Wimmeley, LLC, based in Greenville, S.C., is the handmade clay dome, which retains and circulates the heat like an old-fashioned brick oven. It heats up without open flames in 15 minutes and the pies take under ten minutes to bake. It comes with a dough cutter that will cut dough to the perfect size to fit in the oven openings, and six stainless steel spatulas for cooking.-Denise Shoukas
