Hey Pizza Lovers! There’s news from my outdoor kitchen again, and yes, it’s about pizza! But not just any pizza, but about the latest oven that has moved in with me: the Witt Piccolo Rotante. If you’ve been following for a while, you might already know my review of the Witt Etna Rotante on GrillStunde.com. A real monster of a pizza oven that has already made quite an impression. But today it’s time for something fresh, more compact. Smaller, but maybe just as impressive? 😏
Let’s find out!
The Specs – What’s inside the Witt Piccolo Rotante? 📊
Before we dive into the juicy details, first the hard facts. What does the Witt Piccolo Rotante actually bring to the table? Spoiler: It can do more than you might think at first glance.
- Maximum temperature: 500°C (yes, this thing gets really hot) 🔥
- Fuel: Gas – so you can start right away 🚀
- Maximum pizza size: 33 cm diameter 🍕
- Rotating function: Fully automatic – No burnt pizza crusts! 🔄
- Material: Solid stainless steel 🛡
- Dimensions: 57.6 x 48 x 38.5 cm – perfect for small balconies or terraces 🏡
- Weight: 19 kg (light enough to transport easily) 💪
- Preheating time: Ready to go in just 15-20 minutes – faster than most delivery services 🚚
So, that already sounds promising, doesn’t it? Especially the automatic rotating function, like its big brother, the Etna Rotante, has once again given me a “wow” effect. Because who among us hasn’t burned a pizza on one side while the other was still pale? This feature literally saves your pizza! 🍕
What makes the Witt Piccolo so special? 🌟
Why the Witt Piccolo Rotante? Simple: it’s smaller, more compact, but without sacrificing performance. One of the biggest criticisms of its big brother, the Etna, was its size – many found it simply too bulky. With a baking surface of 40 cm, it took up a lot of space in the outdoor kitchen. Now the Piccolo comes along and adapts. With a baking surface of 33 cm, it is significantly more space-saving and ideal for smaller terraces or balconies, and can even be taken along conveniently to friends’ places. 🚗
The rotating function is also the absolute highlight here again. You put the pizza in, and the stone rotates it automatically. This distributes the heat evenly, and your pizza becomes crispy on all sides. No more half-raw dough pieces, no more scorched edges – just a perfect pizza. Sounds almost too good to be true, right? 🤩
Small bonus: Gas as fuel is super convenient. No more hours of preheating. Just connect the gas bottle, turn it on, and in 15-20 minutes you’re ready to go. Especially when you need something quickly, this is a real advantage. ⏱
The First Test – A Firework for the Senses? 🎉
But now, let’s get down to business, or rather: pizza in the oven. How does the Witt Piccolo Rotante perform in real use?
It promises a pizza in max. 90 seconds. I’ve tested the oven for you for now, as it’s brand new to me, and the first thing I noticed: this little guy heats up properly! In just a few minutes, it’s at operating temperature and ready to conjure up the perfect pizza. 🍕 The heat distribution is truly impressive – no wonder with around 500°C, which the oven effortlessly reaches. The pizza stone stores the heat and ensures that the pizza gets even heat distribution. And the rotating function? An absolute game changer! As the pizza slowly rotates, the crust gets an even temperature due to the rotating function, giving it the typical, light, airy, and crispy Neapolitan pizza crust – an absolute dream. 😍
However, caution: You still need to keep an eye on the pizza. The oven reaches a considerable temperature, which is why I would advise you to always keep an eye on the good piece during your first attempts and to reduce the temperature if necessary. ❗
And even though it doesn’t have a so-called Booster Burner, that was no problem at all. Because in my test, it turned out that it’s definitely not necessary. We baked 6 pizzas one after another for you in the test, and the oven handled it easily, with continued consistent heat distribution. Every pizza, just as good as the last! 💯
What I found particularly cool with the first bite was the consistency of the pizza. Thin crust, juicy toppings, and the crust perfectly done – exactly what you want. No “Oh darn, the crust is already black” or “The middle is still raw“. That’s really a huge plus point. 🙌
Conclusion – Is the Witt Piccolo Rotante worth the money? 💸
In short: Yes! The Witt Piccolo Rotante is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a powerful, compact pizza oven that requires little space and still conjures up perfect pizzas. The rotating function, the fast preheating time, and the space-saving size make it an ideal companion when visiting friends, for the balcony or terrace. And even without a Booster Burner, you get a modern and comfortable pizza oven that impresses!
