Don't FA's commonly put their own food into those ovens? I remember flying on PHL-ORD on thanksgiving once and the FA told me they had turkey in the oven but it was for them (after I joked about getting the snack basket instead of a turkey dinner). I've also see FA's put in a burger or something that looked like it came from the food court. I've never seen fried chicken in there though

As for the pizza, I figured it would not be crisp. If you put it in the oven with the cover on top, you are basically steaming it. Which is why other "normally crisp hot food" shouldn't be served on an airplane. I'd much rather have a simple dish made well than a fancy dish made poorly. Airlines like many restaurants try to jump before they can crawl. Get the basics right first. (That applies to everything)
