How the Five Compare on the Numbers
Start with the figure that decides a party: the bake time each maker states. cozze and Mimiuo both publish 60 second bakes. Breville publishes two minutes. PIEZANO publishes under 6 minutes. Chefman does not publish a bake time in minutes at all, so it cannot be ranked on that scale. Temperature figures run from Breville’s 750 degrees to cozze’s 950 degrees.
Weight decides where an oven can live. PIEZANO publishes 8.3 lb, Chefman 23.32 lb, Breville 32.3 lb, Mimiuo 39.33 lb and cozze 48.0 lb. A host who wants the oven on a counter during the week and on a patio on Saturday is choosing between those five numbers, not between marketing claims.

The table does not tell you how any of these ovens performs. Nobody here has used them. It also does not tell you servings per hour, because no maker publishes that. What it does give is the set of numbers a host can compare before buying: stated bake time, stated temperature, published weight and published footprint.
Throughput: What the Stated Bake Times Mean for a Party
Sixty second bakes and what they require
cozze and Mimiuo both state a 60 second bake. That figure only holds if the oven is already at temperature, and both makers publish a 15 minute preheat. For a party that means the first pie lands about 15 minutes after ignition, and every pie after that is a 60 second operation if the host keeps the door closed between bakes.
Both of those ovens also publish an automatic rotating stone. The maker describes it as removing the need to open the oven and turn a pizza by hand. For a host who is also pouring drinks and cutting pies, that published feature is the difference between standing at the oven and checking on it occasionally.
Two minute and six minute bakes
Breville publishes two minute bakes at up to 750 degrees. PIEZANO publishes under 6 minutes at up to 800 degrees. Over a two hour party the gap between two minutes and six minutes is the difference between roughly 60 pies and roughly 20, if the oven never rests. Neither maker publishes a recovery time between bakes.
Chefman does not publish a bake time in minutes, so it cannot be placed on this scale. What Chefman does publish is that both elements range from 300 to 800 degrees and that the design retains heat for back to back cooking. That is a stated capability, not a measured throughput.
Style Range: Presets, Temperature and Stone Size
Preset lists as published
Breville publishes five preset functions: Wood Fired, New York, Pan, Thin and Crispy, and Frozen. Chefman publishes five touchscreen presets: Neapolitan, New York, Thin Crust, Pan and Frozen, plus a manual setting. Those two cover the broadest published range of styles in one oven, which suits a group where one guest wants Neapolitan and another wants a frozen pie.
PIEZANO, cozze and Mimiuo do not publish a preset list. That does not mean they cannot cook several styles, only that the makers state no preset functions. A host who wants a labeled button for each style is choosing between Breville and Chefman on the published evidence.
Temperature and stone
cozze states up to 950 degrees, Mimiuo 900 degrees, PIEZANO and Chefman 800 degrees, and Breville 750 degrees. Higher stated temperatures are published as the route to a fast bake and a spotted crust. Mimiuo publishes a 13 inch round cordierite stone rated to 2200 degrees, and PIEZANO names a 12 inch ceramic stone in its size.
Breville, Chefman and cozze do not publish a stone diameter. Where that figure is missing this guide says so. A host who needs to know whether a 14 inch dough will fit should treat the missing diameter as a reason to check with the maker before buying.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
Counter host who wants preset buttons. Breville publishes five preset functions and a 32.3 lb weight. It suits a kitchen where the oven stays put and the host wants a labeled setting for each style rather than a dial.
Host cooking many pies in a row. Chefman publishes elements from 300 to 800 degrees and states heat retention for back to back cooking. It suits a party where the oven never gets a rest between pies.
Small kitchen or apartment host. PIEZANO publishes 8.3 lb and a stated under 6 minute bake. It suits a host who needs to lift the oven off a counter and store it between parties.
Patio host who wants hands off cooking. cozze publishes a rotating stone, 950 degrees and a 60 second bake, at 48.0 lb. It suits a fixed outdoor spot where the oven can stay set up.
Host who wants the largest published stone. Mimiuo publishes a 13 inch round cordierite stone, 900 degrees and a 60 second bake, at 39.33 lb. It suits a host cooking 12 to 14 inch pies for a group.
