We’ve harnessed our deal-hunting skills to serve up some hot-and-ready National Pizza Day deals on Wirecutter favorites. These items can help you transform your kitchen into your new favorite pizza joint—with no tipping, takeout menus, or waiting required.

Honey-Can-Do Round Pizza Stone (14-inch) — Pick Variant Woot deal price: $23 with free (delayed) shipping for Prime members; street price: $30

What we like: With this round version of our budget pizza stone pick, making your own pizza (and bread!) at home has never been easier or cheaper. Excellent heat retention improves pizza crust and bread crust formation. Gentler heat works well for croissants.

Other things to know: Safe to use on a grill or under a broiler. Our kitchen team opted against picking round pizza stones because they’re less versatile than larger, rectangular stones, but we still think rounds are a good option if you have a tiny oven (or a tiny budget, in this case). Includes a 90-day Woot warranty. Free shipping for Prime members.

Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo — Also Great Amazon deal price: $800; street price: $1,000

What we like: Our favorite indoor countertop pizza oven is the Ferrari of countertop ovens: sleek, expensive, and fast. Fully preheats in 15 minutes and can cook a pizza in just over 90 seconds. Features include preset cooking functions, precise temperature control, a timer, and additional accessories.

Other things to know: A pricey specific-use appliance. Costs almost twice as much as our top outdoor pizza oven pick when not on sale. Rare deal, matches lowest price we’ve seen.

DEA Harissa Hot Sauce — Staff Favorite Cost Plus World Market deal price: $2 with store pickup, use code STORE10 + World Market membership (free to join); street price: $5

What we like: Beloved by Wirecutter staffers, this versatile hot chili paste can elevate everything from eggs and sandwiches to pizza and pasta. Packed with flavor—including notes of coriander and garlic—but won’t overpower dishes with heat.

Other things to know: Opt for store pickup to avoid shipping fees. Use code STORE10 and World Market membership (free to join) to get deal price.

KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment (3-Blade) — Also Great Amazon deal price: $30 with clipped on-page coupon; street price: $40

What we like: This handy KitchenAid attachment simplifies everyday grating and slicing—including, say, some fresh fromage or pine nuts for the perfect pesto. Minimizes the amount of time it takes to prepare food.

Other things to know: A little messy. Not the best option for heavy use. Unnecessary if you already have a food processor. Clip on-page coupon to get deal price.

Five Two Silicone Oven Mitts (Set of 2, Paprika) — Upgrade Pick Food52 deal price: $27 with code HERES15 and free Food52 membership; street price: $50

What we like: These thick, splurge-worthy oven mitts offer a near-perfect combination of good looks and good coverage. We were able hold hot items for longer, and they provided better forearm protection than our top pick. Magnets in the cuffs allow you to stick them on the fridge and keep them together more easily.

Other things to know: On the pricier side. They lack some of the dexterity of our top pick due to their shorter thumb(s). The Paprika color is down to $27 shipped with code HERES15, must register for an account to use the promo code (free).

Pringles Pizza Potato Crisps (3-Pack) — Staff Favorite Target deal price: $5 when you add 3 to cart and select store pickup (RedCard holders save an extra 5%); street price: $6

What we like: Once you pop (these delightfully crunchy pizza-flavored chips into your mouth), the fun don’t stop. Tangy, tomatoey, and a little cheesy. Also a good budget option for achieving the perfect duck-lip look.

Other things to know: You’ll probably get your hand stuck in the can, but it’ll be worth it. Add three to cart to get deal. Store pickup required. RedCard holders get an additional 5% off.

Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen, 2021) + Echo Show 5 Kids (2nd Gen) Bundle — Top Pick Amazon deal price: $75 with delayed shipping; street price: $125

What we like: This 2-for-1 bundle includes our top smart display pick and the kids version of our smaller screen smart display pick for Alexa users. Echo Show 8 offers a crisp 8-inch touch display screen, smart-home control, and 13-megapixel camera for video calling. Echo Show 5 Kids comes with parental controls and 1-year of Amazon Kids+.

Other things to know: User interface can be frustrating at times, and recipe choices on the Echo are more limited compared with the Google library.

Google Pixel 7 (Unlocked, 128 GB) — Top Pick Best Buy deal price: $500; street price: $600

What we like: Guaranteed security updates through Fall 2027 and an impressive Android software experience are among the bevy of benefits that cemented this phone’s status as our top pick. Best Android smartphone camera we’ve ever tested. Excellent build quality. Costs about half as much as Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Other things to know: Not many negatives, but no optical-zoom camera and fast-charging speeds are underwhelming. Available in multiple colors.
