500°C+ is reached using a commercial-grade ceramic pizza oven to get the ideal wood-fired taste. For gourmet outdoor cooking, thick insulation effectively retains heat, resulting in authentic Neapolitan crusts in a matter of minutes.
1. Heat Retention & Distribution
Pizza ovens are built to retain intense heat using materials like ceramic, brick, or stainless steel. The dome shape circulates hot air evenly, cooking the pizza from all sides.
2. High Temperature Cooking
They reach temperatures of 400–500°C (750–900°F), far hotter than regular ovens. This extreme heat cooks pizza in 1–2 minutes, giving you a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
3. Cooking Surface Matters
Pizzas are placed directly on a stone or ceramic base, which absorbs moisture and creates a crisp, blistered bottom — just like in traditional Italian pizzerias.
1. Preheat Your Oven Thoroughly
Let the oven reach at least 450°C (850°F) before baking. A fully heated stone or ceramic base ensures a crisp crust and evenly cooked toppings.
2. Use the Right Dough
Go for high-gluten flour and allow your dough to ferment for 24–48 hours. This builds flavor, chewiness, and better puff in high heat.
3. Keep It Thin and Simple
Don't overload your pizza. A thin layer of sauce, a few toppings, and minimal cheese allow the crust to rise and cook evenly without getting soggy.
4. Rotate While Cooking
Use a pizza peel or tongs to rotate the pizza halfway through. This ensures balanced browning and prevents hot spots from burning the edges.
5. Finish with Residual Heat
After removing your pizza, let it rest for 1–2 minutes. This helps the crust firm up and allows flavors to settle before slicing.
