Record-breaking comedian meets record-fast pizza with the first range to deliver pizza in as little as two minutes*.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Frigidaire, a leading home appliance brand under Electrolux Group, (OTCMKTS: ELUXY) today announced a partnership with record-breaking comedian Sebastian Maniscalco to introduce the Frigidaire Gallery Range with Stone-Baked Pizza Mode - the first home oven in North America capable of safely reaching 750°F to deliver Neapolitan-style pizza in as little as two minutes*.

Maniscalco, one of the nation's biggest comedians with the #1 Comedy Tour in America, brings his trademark storytelling, sharp observational humor, and passion for food—rooted in his love of family gatherings—to the partnership.

Amid his record-shattering It Ain't Right Tour, Maniscalco is stepping off the stage and into the kitchen to show how Frigidaire's breakthrough oven is redefining pizza night and making restaurant-quality pies possible right at home.

"I'm from Chicago, grew up in an Italian household…so pizza wasn't just food, it was tradition," said Maniscalco. "Deep-dish Fridays, my grandma's Sicilian pies on Sundays…we basically had a pizza calendar. Making it's like a little dance with the dough—the stretch, the char, the whole craft. And now this oven? Brings that restaurant magic home in minutes. Pizza night's fast, easy… and I actually get to enjoy it instead of stressing over the oven."

Alongside digital activations and a live event appearance with Maniscalco, Frigidaire is hitting the road with the Taste The Difference Mobile Tour, serving up stone-baked pizza at food festivals and sporting events nationwide. Fans can step into an immersive experience to taste the difference of a 750°F oven - a full 200 degrees hotter than conventional ovens. The launch is further fueled by a national ad campaign, retailer pop-ups, media partnerships, and more.

"Sebastian brings the same spirit of family, fun, and authenticity that defines Frigidaire, making him the perfect partner for this launch," said Amie Guy, SVP of Marketing and Consumer Direct Interaction, Electrolux Group North America. "At Frigidaire, we believe the best memories are made around food and with the Stone-Baked Pizza Oven, we're not just launching a new feature – we're Daire-ing families to gather, cook, and celebrate together in a whole new, delicious way."

The Frigidaire oven with Stone-Baked Pizza mode comes fully equipped with a custom-designed heat shield, a 15" x 15" pizza stone, temperature probe, and pizza peel - so home chefs can master their pie game right out of the box. Plus, it's more than pizza: with 15+ additional cooking modes from Air Fry to Steam Bake, this oven covers everything from weeknight chicken to sourdough Sundays.

The Frigidaire oven with Stone-Baked Pizza mode is available now nationwide at major retailers including The Home Depot and Lowe's, as well as online at Frigidaire.com, starting at $2,599** MSRP.
