There was a discussion about pizza oven reflow some time ago, look in
the archive.
But it was another type where the pizza rotates through a hot air "wedge".
As you say any type of oven can work if sufficiently hot, which it
really should be to make a pizza.
I also prefer a hotplate for SMD soldering, heat transmission through
the PCB is much more even and consistent than radiant heat. Also
components can be tweaked during reflow. Doesn't work so well for
double-sided boards of course.
That reminds me - I should soon have a look at that plum cake in the oven.......

I guess that, so long as it can get up to about 240 deg C inside it stands a chance but I am not so sure it could get that hot. Certainly, I am not sure enough to try buying one just to see.
