What matters in practice
The differences that matter
A recipe app and a control app solve different tasks
Current's app can change oven operation. Breville+ helps with recipes and instructions.
How we reached this conclusion
Current explicitly lists remote temperature control. Breville describes guided recipes and classes rather than connected Pizzaiolo operation.
The shorter body may matter more than the hotter ceiling
Pizzaiolo is about twenty-five percent lower by body height, useful when checking a kitchen location.
How we reached this conclusion
(14.21 - 10.6) / 14.21 = 25%, rounded. Body height does not include the required overhead clearance.
Manual heat shaping is a distinct Pizzaiolo workflow
Separate deck and top settings let an experienced cook work on base and topping heat individually.
How we reached this conclusion
Breville explicitly lists manual deck and top temperature control plus Crust Only or Even Heat selection.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Current Model P+ | Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approved use described by manufacturer | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Current can serve a suitable outdoor electrical setup. |
| App role | Remote oven control and monitoring | Breville+ recipes and guidance | Only Current offers appliance control from the phone in this pairing. |
| Published maximum temperature | 850 F | 750 F | Current lists a higher ceiling, without a proven crust-quality advantage here. |
| Body height | 14.21 inches | 10.6 inches | Pizzaiolo's body is 3.61 inches lower before required clearances. |
| Included loading and pan tools | Stone and stainless rack | Pizza peel and pizza pan | Breville provides a different starter tool kit. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Current Model P+
- The standard kit does not list a peel or pizza pan.
If you choose Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo
- Breville+ supplies guidance rather than remote oven control.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
Outdoor electric use is a firm requirement
Choose Current Model P+. Current's indoor-and-outdoor design meets that requirement. Pizzaiolo's indoor restriction does not.
You prioritize manual heat shaping indoors and will not use remote control
Choose Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo. Pizzaiolo's separate deck and top settings address that hands-on workflow.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
Separate outdoor permission from weatherproof storage
Current's outdoor capability is useful, but it does not permit every wet-weather installation or permanent exposed storage. Follow its electrical, weather and clearance instructions for the actual patio location.
Be precise about connectivity
Both brands mention an app. Only Current's claim here includes controlling the appliance. Breville+ adds cooking help without turning Pizzaiolo into a remotely controlled oven.
Choose controls before chasing the peak number
Current's published maximum is one hundred degrees higher. Pizzaiolo gives detailed manual control over how heat reaches the pizza. Neither fact alone establishes which will bake your dough better.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Published temperature ceilings are not measured stone temperatures from a matched test.
- Current remote control does not remove the need to supervise a high-temperature oven.
