Gimme pizza. It’s not just the title of the iconic singalong from the straight-to-VHS 1995 film You’re Invited to Mary Kate and Ashley’s Sleepover Party, but probably what your pizza-obsessed buddy is thinking whenever you ask them what they want for their birthday/holiday/special occasion. 

You could obviously just send them a pie from their favorite pizzeria — or you could gift them something a tad more thoughtful and long-lasting. Something that’ll elevate their pizza game for many dinners, date nights and backyard BBQs to come.

Balmuda Toaster
Balmuda Toaster

It may look like your run-of-the-mill toaster oven, but what sets this Japanese appliance apart is the steam. Before starting, you must pour a small amount of water into a funnel in the top, which will be turned into steam to facilitate a toasting process that provides a crisp exterior without burning and while retaining the interior fluffiness. Toast, pizza, pastries, it’s all fair game. Oh, and it can act as a regular oven as well with temperature settings from 350 to 450 degrees.

Boska Ceramic Pizza Stone

A pizza stone should, honestly, be a staple in everyone’s kitchen, but especially the pizza-obsessed’s kitchen. The stone mimics the effects of cooking pizza in a brick oven, reaching levels of high heat your regular stove can’t and absorbing moisture due to the porous nature of ceramic, resulting in a pizza with a much crispier crust.
