Current Backyard is introducing the Model P Smart Pizza Oven at CES 2025

Current Backyard made its debut at CES last year with electric smart grill and grillbut for 2025 the company is going in a slightly different direction. Looking to take care of the pizza oven obsessionthe company unveiled a Model P Smart Pizza Oven in Las Vegas. As you might expect, the device is all-electric, but it’s certified for indoor and outdoor use. The “smart” part of the recipe here is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, which provides access to the company’s in-app tools.

The company says the Model P can reach a maximum temperature of 850 degrees Fahrenheit, the level at which a Neapolitan-style pie can be cooked in two minutes. In comparison, this is the same maximum heat output as the more expensive one Aries Volt 12. Current Backyard explains that the internal design of its electric oven uses an algorithm along with graphite and calrod elements to ensure even heating. The company says this construction also eliminates the need to rotate the pizzas during cooking. The cordierite cooking stone helps with even cooking, especially crispiness of the crust.

Model P has five cooking modes for different pizza styles and other applications: Neapolitan, New York, thin crust, frozen pizza and a bake function with high and low settings. In the company’s app, a pizza build calculator offers customized cooking time and temperature based on selected style and ingredients. This tool takes into account the amounts of sauce, cheese and toppings along with the thickness of the dough.

Current Backyard didn’t include an exact arrival date in the Model P announcement, but it does say the pizza oven will cost $599 when it’s available for purchase sometime in Q2.
