Best Metal Countertop Pizza Ovens in 2026

A microwave with no turntable sounds like a step backward — until you actually cook in one. Toshiba's flatbed design opens up the entire interior, so a rectangular casserole dish, two plates side by side, or an oversized platter all fit without spinning, scraping the walls, or that rhythmic stutter you hear from traditional models. Inverter technology is the real story: rather than pulsing full power on and off, it holds a steady, adjustable output, so leftovers reheat evenly and delicate sauces don't split around the edges. The smart sensor reads moisture and picks the right setting across 11 auto menus, while 11 manual power levels cover everything from warming a mug of coffee to cooking a full entree. The smooth floor wipes clean in seconds, and it runs noticeably quieter than the turntable microwave it replaced. It's a genuinely thoughtful redesign of a countertop staple.

Chefman packs 1,000 watts and a full 1.1 cubic feet of capacity into a compact black box that earns its counter space. Ten power levels give you genuine range — a gentle setting for melting butter, full blast for reheating last night's leftovers. Six one-touch presets handle popcorn, pizza, beverages, veggies, potatoes, and leftovers, tapping a number key cooks for that many minutes, and the +30 seconds button adds a nudge without rethinking anything. The mute option silences beeps for early mornings, Eco Mode shuts off the display when idle, and a child safety lock keeps small hands from pulling the door open. The glass turntable is top-rack dishwasher safe, and the exterior wipes down with a damp towel. A practical everyday pick for busy kitchens.

Get the heavy lifting done in the kitchen with no fuss with the 1.1 cu. ft. countertop microwave from BLACK+DECKER. With six one-touch cooking presets that cover what you actually eat (popcorn, baked potato, pizza, frozen vegetables, beverage, dinner plate), never leave reheating to guesswork. For more control, you've got 10 power levels to work with, or for instant hot food use the express cooking buttons to skip all the hassle. Power through a full plate with ease at 1000W. The 1.1 cu. ft. interior is large enough to fit standard size dinner plates, but doesn't dominate your countertop. Easily clean the black fingerprint resistant finish and for added peace of mind if you've got a curious little one, lock the control panel with a simple 5-second cancel button hold.

BLACK+DECKER packs serious microwave convenience into a footprint that won't swallow your counter. The 0.9 cubic foot interior handles a 10-inch pizza on the removable turntable, yet the unit stays compact enough for dorm rooms and cramped kitchens. What I like most is how little thinking it demands: six auto menus cover popcorn, potatoes, pizza, frozen vegetables, beverages, and dinner plates, while one-touch start gets leftovers reheating with a single press. Ten power levels give you real control for defrosting versus cooking, and the memory function recalls your go-to setting. Parents will appreciate the two-step child lock, and it deactivates easily if you don't need it.

Toshiba's 0.7-cu. ft. countertop microwave proves that small can be big in more ways than one. The microwave (about 17 in. x 12 in. x 9.5 in.) fits into the narrow confines of your dorm desk or apartment counter. But the 700-watt microwave's 6 auto menus can still help you reheat leftovers, warm drinks, and even make popcorn. You'll especially love the ChefDefrost feature. Not only does it thaw frozen meat much quicker than defrost mode, but the quality of the meat is also maintained, keeping the texture and taste. Plus, you get to play (or not) with the 11 power levels. No more wild guess game. The 9.6-in. glass turntable can handle a normal plate for dinner. But for large casserole dishes, you may need something bigger. Other features include one touch start buttons, child lock, sound on/off, and eco mode. Easy to use and figure out in no time.

Chefman’s 0.7 Cubic Foot Countertop Microwave makes a strong case for petite appliances not feeling bare bones. The 700w motor isn't beastly but with 10 power levels you can choose to get buttery low and slow or hot ‘n nasty for left overs in mere minutes. Six one-touch cook presets for popcorn, pizza, beverages, veggies, potatoes and left overs. And hit a number key for the number of minutes to cook. Plus child lock on the handle actually works. We like the mute button as a blessing for mornings. Dishwasher safe glass turntable and easy-clean black outside with a damp towel. Micro compact and economical for dorm room, office or squeeze on your kitchen counter.

No need to have a large microwave when you're working with a smaller kitchen. Check out this BLACK+DECKER 0.7 Cu Ft Countertop Microwave. It has 10 power levels and 700 watts of power, it's perfect for reheating leftovers, popcorn or frozen meals, and it won't take up too much counter space. There are six one-touch programs for common microwave foods like popcorn, potato, pizza, frozen vegetables, beverage, and dinner plate reheat. For rapid heating, just use the express cook buttons to avoid the button pushing. There's even multi-stage cooking so you can have the microwave go from defrost to reheat automatically. The black color is fingerprint resistant and keeps it looking clean. Plus it has a child safety lock feature that's great if you have curious little ones. This microwave won't brown or crisp up your food. But it's great for quick heating for your dorm, apartment or office.

Four appliances squeezed into one 1.0 cu. ft. footprint is the whole pitch here, and GE mostly delivers. The 1,050-watt microwave handles reheating and popcorn duty without drama, but the real draw is that crisper pan — air frying in the same box that heats your leftovers means one less machine crowding the counter. Convection mode circulates heat off the wire rack for decent browning on smaller bakes, and broil throws radiant heat for a proper sear or caramelized finish. It runs quiet enough for a dorm or office, and the child lock is a genuinely thoughtful touch for shared kitchens. Just honor the clearance specs: three inches on the sides and top, one at the rear, and nothing blocking the bottom, or performance suffers.

Emerson's 0.7-cubic-foot countertop microwave proves that a small footprint doesn't have to mean a stripped-down feature set. At 700 watts, it won't sear or brown like a full-size unit, but 10 power levels give you real control for reheating leftovers, softening butter, or gently warming delicate sauces. I especially liked the weight defrost — punch in the pounds and it handles the thawing math for you, no guesswork about power cycling. Six preset buttons cover popcorn, potato, pizza, fresh and frozen vegetables, and beverages, and the express cook function skips the setup entirely. The 99-minute timer is genuinely readable from across the room. It fits neatly on a dorm desk or office break counter.

A full thousand watts in a countertop-friendly footprint is the whole story here. West Bend's 1.1 cu. ft. microwave sits quietly on the counter and handles leftovers, frozen dinners, and a reheated mug of coffee without drama. The electronic control panel keeps things simple — no buried menus, no guesswork — and the six presets for baked potato, popcorn, pizza, beverage, frozen dinner, and reheat cover most of what a real household actually cooks in a week. It's freestanding, so placement is flexible, and the black finish disappears into most kitchen setups. What it does best is routine speed. What it doesn't pretend to do is convection-style cooking. For everyday reheating and quick meals, it simply works.

The Midea Retro Countertop Microwave shows that kitchen appliances can have their place on your counter and look stylish doing it. The sage green exterior gives a mid-century vibe with a gently rounded silhouette and intentional paint job that keeps it from looking like plastic. The 1.1 cubic feet inside can fit full-size dinner plates, but the overall footprint stays manageable for smaller kitchens. 1000 watts means you'll warm up your leftovers much quicker than those cheap microwaves everyone starts out with. 6 preset menu options make popcorn, pizza, veggies and beverages easy. The one-touch express buttons are for reheating all the stuff you actually need to reheat regularly. Oh, and a stealth feature: the child lock can be a lifesaver when you have curious little ones running around.

Counter space is precious, and the Frigidaire 1.1 cu ft countertop microwave earns its spot by staying compact while still delivering 1000 watts of cooking power. The stainless steel finish wipes clean easily and looks sharp beside other appliances, which matters more than you'd expect for a unit that sits out all day. Six pre-programmed buttons cover the snacks people actually make — popcorn, pizza, fries, and wings or nuggets — so there's no guessing at times. Ten power levels plus auto defrost for meat, poultry, and fish give you real control beyond simple reheating. The glass turntable lifts straight out for rinsing, and the child safety lock is a smart addition in a house with curious kids.

Most countertop ovens force a choice between crisping and capacity, but the STEINBRÜCKE combo handles both. Its 26-quart interior swallows a 4.5 lb whole chicken, a 12-inch pizza, or six slices of toast, and two adjustable rack positions let you run a main and a side in the same batch. The 1800W system pairs six stainless steel elements with a 360° convection fan, so heat moves around food instead of pooling, which is why air-fried results come out crisp without much oil. Ten presets cover the usual suspects, and dual knobs keep the 100°F to 450°F range easy to dial in. The 12-hour timer with auto shutoff and a removable crumb tray round out a genuinely practical package.

If you're in a small kitchen and need a countertop appliance to microwave, air fry, bake, roast and grill, this is a lifesaver! The BLACK+DECKER combines all those functions into a 0.9 cu. ft. capacity. It will fit on cramped counters or galley space in an RV. The microwave function provides 900 watts of power for reheating and defrosting. There are 10 power levels and 7 auto menus for popcorn, oatmeal, potatoes, beverages, vegetables and frozen pizza. Air fry menu presets are available for frozen fries, nuggets, wings, fish sticks, cheese sticks, vegetables and spring rolls. The combi mode is a combination of grill and convection cooking for browning. The 30 second quick start button is going to be your go-to! There is also a child lock for those busy households.

Six preset buttons do most of the thinking here, and that's the real charm of this Kenmore countertop microwave. Popcorn, potato, pizza, frozen dinner, beverage, reheat — one tap and you're done, which is exactly what you want when you're standing in a dorm kitchen at midnight. The one-touch start handles 30 seconds up to six minutes, and defrost works by time or weight, so frozen chicken doesn't require a math degree. At 700 watts and 0.7 cubic feet, it's built for small spaces rather than big-batch cooking, and the 9.65-inch removable glass turntable spins a dinner plate without complaint. Add a child lock and kitchen timer, and it's a genuinely practical little machine.

BLACK+DECKER packed a ton of practical use into this petite countertop microwave. Despite being only 0.9 cubic feet, it fits on tight apartment counters and dorm room desks. But it's also large enough to handle a full-size dinner plate, which many mini-microwaves can't do. Six one-touch presets target common meals like popcorn, potato, pizza, frozen veggies, beverages and reheat a dinner plate so you don't have to second guess cooking times after a long day. And with 900 watts of power, 10 power levels and express cooking buttons, it's easy to reheat in a jiffy when you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or a midnight snack attack. The black color hides fingerprints well. And the 5-second cancel button lock is an overlooked gem if you've got curious toddlers in the house.

Frigidaire's 2.2 cu. ft countertop microwave solved the biggest shortcoming of most mini models—this one can fit a family meal. The 1,200W of power cuts through a plate of a full meal, giving you that "will it have a cold spot?" piece of mind with lower power models. The spacious glass turntable pulls out for easy cleaning, the white interior makes messes a lot easier to find, the curved handle and black/stainless finish looks way better than most boxy models. Preset 6 buttons for popcorn, pizza, fries, wings. Digital touch controls, so you can program the clock and timers without fumbling for instructions. And the child safety lock? Yup. For dorms, apartments, and crowded kitchen counters—this low-profile workhorse has you covered.

The BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven earns its counter space by doing the job of two appliances. Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Toast, and Keep Warm cover everything from weeknight crispy fries to a 9-inch pizza, and the air frying setting turns out food with little to no oil without sacrificing that crunch. EvenToast technology is the quiet hero here — toast and bagels come out evenly browned instead of streaky, with no scorched corners. The interior is genuinely compact but still swallows four slices of bread, which is more than most small ovens manage. Controls are straightforward, the 30-minute timer keeps you from guessing, and the included bake pan, air fry mesh tray, and wire rack mean you can start cooking right out of the box.

Emerson's countertop microwave does something most of its rivals can't: it grills. The built-in grill function is the headline here, and it genuinely earns the space it takes up on your counter — pizzas come out crisp, casseroles get that browned top, and sandwiches pick up a toasted finish without dragging out a separate appliance. Under the hood, 1100 watts and 11 power levels give you real control, whether you're gently reheating leftovers or running a full-power cook. Nine presets cover the usual suspects like popcorn, pizza, and vegetables, plus time and weight defrost modes for thawing meat safely. The stainless steel body wipes down easily, the retro chrome handle and vintage-style buttons lend a classic look, and the removable glass turntable and child lock round out a genuinely practical package.
