Craze 

It could be called a classic if you lived in Italy, here in the U.S. it is more of a fad. Not that many people have a built-in pizza oven and over the many years of doing interior design, I was never asked to design one. Linda K. Kusmer, Interior Design Consultant

I am the first to say having a built-in pizza oven sounds intriguing, since I love pizza, but I would prefer to have that outside if it is in a residential environment. Or I head over to a restaurant that I know prepares their pizza in that way to enjoy the pizza oven taste since it may not be great for resale for a home. Wendy Noory, Chromatix Hue

Classic

I don’t think built-in pizza ovens are a passing craze at all. People have realized they can achieve restaurant-quality pizza at home, and it’s a lot of fun. It’s a great activity for parties, or just to let everyone customize their own pizza for dinner. While it might not be an everyday appliance, it’s a blast when you do use it.
