Yes. If you’re in an apartment and specifically want an indoor electric pizza oven capable of at least 750°F, I’d narrow the field considerably.
🏆 My top pick: Ooni Volt 2
Ooni Volt 2 Electric Pizza Oven
$699.00
Why I’d choose it for an apartment:
- 850°F maximum — comfortably exceeds your 750°F requirement.
- Actually designed for indoor use; Ooni specifically says the Volt 2 is for indoor use only.
- 12-inch pizzas, with a 13.3-inch stone.
- 120V / 1,600W, so it uses a normal North American kitchen outlet rather than requiring a 240V circuit.
- Smoke/grease filtration — particularly valuable in an apartment because it vents smoke and steam through a dishwasher-safe filter.
- 90-second Neapolitan pizzas once fully heated.
- Compact enough for a normal countertop and can be stored in a cabinet when cooled.
- Current price is $699 from Ooni.
The big advantage over simply buying a cheap 750°F countertop oven is that Ooni engineered the Volt 2 specifically for indoor high-temperature cooking. That's a meaningful distinction when you're cooking at 750–850°F inside an apartment.
Runner-up: Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo
Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo
$999.95
This is still an excellent oven and arguably the more proven choice. It reaches 750°F, uses 1,800W/120V, and is designed to reproduce conductive, radiant and convective heat similar to a brick oven.
It also has excellent independent testing behind it: Food & Wine named the Pizzaiolo its best overall indoor pizza oven in its testing.
The problem is price: Breville currently lists it at $999.95.
Ooni vs. Breville
Ooni Volt 2 Breville Pizzaiolo Max temp 850°F 750°F Pizza size 12" 12" Power 1,600W / 120V 1,800W / 120V Indoor use Yes Yes Smoke filtration Yes No dedicated filter Neapolitan ~90 sec ~2 min Current price $699 $999.95 Apartment suitability ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ My pick 🥇 🥈 One important apartment consideration
750–850°F cooking can still create smoke, particularly from flour, semolina, cheese, oil or toppings burning on the stone. Ooni's filtration helps, but it doesn't mean zero smoke.
I'd put it on a heat-resistant, stable countertop with plenty of ventilation, and I'd check your apartment lease/building rules before using any countertop appliance that reaches these temperatures. For comparison, Breville explicitly requires at least 4" of clearance on the sides and 6" above and recommends a well-ventilated area because the oven can emit smoke.
What about the $150–$300 750°F ovens?
There are lots of them now—Kenmore, VEVOR, GIVIMO, SUGIFT, etc.—and some claim 750°F. But I would not choose one over the Ooni/Breville for an apartment unless budget is the overriding concern. The high-temperature rating alone doesn't tell you nearly as much about temperature stability, insulation, smoke management, stone recovery, or long-term reliability.
Bottom line: I'd buy the Ooni Volt 2. At $699, you're getting a purpose-built indoor oven that goes all the way to 850°F, has smoke filtration, uses a standard 120V outlet, and is substantially cheaper than the Breville.

When living in an apartment, getting a true 750°F+ (or even 800°F) bake without setting off your smoke alarms or overloading your kitchen circuit requires a specialized indoor countertop electric pizza oven.
The gold standard and the budget-friendlier alternatives that hit 750°F–800°F safely indoors include:
-
Max Temp: 750° F (399° C)
-
The Vibe: The undisputed luxury gold standard for indoor electric pizza ovens. It replicates the three types of heat generated by a traditional wood-fired brick oven (conductive, radiant, and convective) using an intelligent element system. It features precise deck-temperature control, a cordierite stone base, and multiple presets (including Neapolitan, Pan, New York, and Thin-Crust).
-
Price: ~$1,000
-
Where to look: View it directly on the Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo page.

If your priority is an indoor electric pizza oven that reaches at least 700°F, I’d narrow the field to three:
- Ooni Volt 2 Indoor Electric Pizza Oven - $699.95 (Williams-Sonoma)
- Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo - $999.95 (Best Buy)
- Frigidaire Electric Indoor Pizza Oven - $299.00 (The Home Depot)
🥇 My pick: Ooni Volt 2
The Ooni Volt 2 is the one I’d buy if your main goal is excellent homemade Neapolitan-style pizza. Food Network tested 13 indoor pizza ovens and named the Volt 2 its best overall indoor model.
- Maximum temperature: 850°F
- Pizza size: 12"
- Indoor: Yes
- Electric: Yes
- Price: about $700 currently
- Has temperature presets, live temperature monitoring, interior lighting and a boost function.
- The higher temperature gives you the ability to get much closer to the blistered, leopard-spotted crust associated with true Neapolitan pizza.
The important distinction is that 700°F is enough to make very good pizza, but 800–850°F gives you considerably more headroom for fast Neapolitan-style baking.
🥈 Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo
- Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo - $999.95 (Best Buy)
This is the one I'd consider if you want more control and versatility rather than maximum temperature.
- Maximum temperature: 750°F
- 12" pizzas
- Dedicated settings for Neapolitan, New York, pan, thin & crispy and frozen pizza
- Very sophisticated control of top and bottom heating
- Typically around $1,000
Independent testing/reviews consistently highlight its excellent consistency and versatility.
💰 Best cheaper option: Frigidaire
- Frigidaire Electric Indoor Pizza Oven - $299.00 (The Home Depot)
If you specifically want 700°F without spending $700–$1,000, this is interesting:
- 700°F
- 12" pizzas
- Indoor countertop use
- Around $300
- Also functions as an air-fryer/conventional oven.
What I'd choose
If you want... I'd look at Best pizza / hottest indoor oven Ooni Volt 2 Maximum control & different pizza styles Breville Pizzaiolo 700°F performance for less money Frigidaire For your specific requirement, I'd go with the Ooni Volt 2. It gives you substantially more than the 700°F you're looking for, while remaining a true indoor countertop oven. Current reviews also identify it as the leading indoor electric option.
One thing I'd check before buying: your countertop clearance and electrical circuit. These ovens draw a lot of power, and you don't want the pizza oven sharing a heavily loaded 15A circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
If you tell me your budget (e.g. under $300, $500, or $1,000) and whether you want Neapolitan, New York, or regular homemade pizza, I can narrow it down to the exact model I'd buy.
