What we take away
The principle of the pizzarette is simple and wonderfully convivial: everyone spreads their dough on their own spatula, tops it however they like, and slides it under the dome. About fifteen minutes later, according to Boulanger, out comes a mini pizza of roughly 11 cm, and the debate begins on the only question that really matters: pineapple, yes or no. The PO-116124 is the 8-place version, with 1500 W, a handmade terracotta dome that makes quite an impression on the table, and a pre-bake function used to part-cook the dough before topping it, to avoid soggy bases.
Let’s be clear about what it is not: despite the word “raclette” appearing in the name of some retailer listings, none of the sources we checked mentions raclette pans in the box. It is a mini-pizza oven, not a 2-in-1. If you want to alternate pizza and melted cheese, look instead at the brand’s 3-in-1 Pizzarette or a pizza-raclette grill. Another point: no thermostat, as is often the case with these appliances, and 5.3 kg to set on the table. For a pizza night for eight, though, the concept works on paper, and it has the advantage of getting the kids involved.
Strengths
- 8 places: everyone bakes their own mini pizza
- 1500 W and heat-up in 5 minutes according to Boulanger
- Pre-bake function for better-cooked dough
- Handmade terracotta dome, 8 insulated spatulas included
Things to consider
- No raclette pans mentioned: a pizza-focused appliance
- No thermostat
- Non-removable plate
- 5.3 kg and a fragile dome to handle

Who is it for?
For families with kids, for evenings with friends where everyone likes to pick their own toppings, and for anyone looking for an alternative to raclette to vary their winter evenings. On the other hand, if you want a single appliance that also does raclette, move along: look at a 3-in-1 model with raclette pans. And for two people, a 4-place pizzarette will take up less room.
