Any of you own a dedicated pizza oven or do you make do with your regular oven?
Alan Bucknam@farah I use a baking stone and put it on top of my grill outside. It gets a lot hotter than the oven can so I get nice crispy crusts. Before that I would use use my oven set as hot as it would get and let the stone warm up for half an hour or so. Works ok but the grill is even better.

Axomamma, Antifa from birth@farah I have an electric pizza oven that I've never taken out of the box. Does that count?
Comrade Weez@farah We recently replaced our 24 year old ordinary oven with a Bosch Serie 6. It has a pizza setting which heats intensely from the bottom as well as heats the air in the oven with a circ fan. This results in a crispy crust and obviates the need for a special oven... but the thing cost as much as an ordinary oven and a pizza oven. YMMV.

Parmifèr, fraîchement migré@darckcrystale @farah yes but you have to have a pizza stone or do the cooking in two parts (just the dough and tomato sauce at max temp for like 5 minutes or so and then you add the garnish and put it on broil for 2 minutes)
DB SchweinPizza stone in a regular oven.
Our friends have a tabletop unit that makes nice pizza quickly but the price was exorbitant.
Charlie Sheridan@farah regular oven with a slab of steel does a fine job using the broiler.
The Lack Thereof @farah regular oven but with the convection setting
scrottie (he/him/them)@farah Stovetop, with a cast iron pan, for lack of an oven handy, but now that you mention it, there are probably (Japanese style microprocessor controlled) rice cooker recipes... and, yup: https://www.tastemade.com/recipes/pull-apart-pizza-bread-in-a-rice-cooker . Other recipes are for cake, bread, etc.

noplasticshower@farah regular oven with pizza stones preheated. This one goes to 500.
@noplasticshower @farah with the stone you should be able to get to 511
Lee from Colorado@noplasticshower @farah same here. Works great
@colo_lee @noplasticshower I used same setup. But it’s a pain in the tuchus to move the pie to the hot stone
@farah @noplasticshower I build the za on a parchment covered wooden peel and then slide the pizza and the paper onto the stone.
@colo_lee @farah we have a pizza paddle.. also put corn meal on the hot stone before the built pizza. The stone stays put. But no paper. Italians don't do paper.
