Toaster oven is superior. I don't mind the counter top space because it is a superior appliance.

Mine toast both sides, as there is a top and bottom heating element. It's was better for reheating pizza than a microwave (takes longer, but the end result is way better). It's really handy to have a smaller secondary oven when cooking big meals. I roasted a turkey breast in mine last year, while the stuffing cooked at a different temp in the oven.

reheating pizza

Blasphemy!

Cold pizza is the world's greatest food and this is a hill that I am willing to die on!

Well, go die on it without screaming your preference for culinary perversions at the rest of us.

Cold pizza only works for veggie light slices. If you go hard on the green peppers/onions/etc, reheating is key.

I'll concede it's good at pizza reheats. We don't do that often but it's much better than microwave and about the same quality but faster than oven.

Depending on the size, it might not be that useful for secondary dishes but that's mostly cause mines just slightly too small for my standard casserole dish. At some point it's just a mini convection oven, which I have used before for Thanksgiving and it's admittedly a godsend (although I'd only borrow it. I very much do not have the space for one).

Mines also both sides heat, but I think it's a little different still as only one side will have hot metal pressed against the bread. You get a little different taste/texture with both sides pressed against the hot metal. I suspect it's also more energy efficient, too. Suffice to say it'll still be S tier for the standard toast case.
