Microwaves That Fit a 12-Inch Pizza

A 12-inch frozen pizza needs a turntable of at least 13–14 inches to rotate properly. The models below have 14-inch or larger turntables — enough clearance to heat a full-size pizza evenly without the crust catching on the walls. The microwave can also handle plates, casserole lids, and any other large round dish that's been an awkward squeeze.

• ✓ A 12" pizza on a 14" turntable has 1" of clearance each side — enough to spin freely without catching.
• ✓ Crispy pizza crust comes from high wattage (1000W+) and short bursts, not slow low-power heating.
• ✓ If you also want to bake or crisp (not just reheat), look for models with convection or crisper pan accessories.
• ✓ The pizza box dimensions are irrelevant — measure the pizza itself. Most standard frozen pizzas are exactly 12".
