Never Burn or Undercook a pizza in your home pizza oven again!

Summary: Master your pizza oven with these 5 simple tips to never burn or undercook a pizza again—and make pizza that tastes like it came straight from a world-class pizzeria! Plus, discover how the Prepa Pizza dough kit can help you achieve flawless results every time. 

But lets face the facts pizzas looking like this coming out of your pizza oven are no fun ☹️

1. Make Sure Your Stone Is Properly Heated.

The stone is the foundation of perfect pizza. An improperly heated stone leads to undercooked dough and a burnt top. Most pizza oven thermometers only register the oven temperature, but the stone's temperature is the real key. To avoid undercooked pizza, always make sure your stone is at the right temperature.

 

Pro Tip: Invest in a laser thermometer to measure your stone's temperature. It should be around the temperature you want your pizza to cook at.

2. Stop Trying to Cook Over 905ºF (482ºC)

Your oven may be capable of reaching 1,000ºF or more, but cooking at temperatures above 905ºF is a recipe for disaster. The Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN) recommends 905ºF for the dome and 716ºF–806ºF for the cooking floor. Even for gas ovens, 800ºF is ideal.

 

Why It Matters: Just because your oven can go higher doesn't mean it should. Overheated ovens burn your toppings and leave the dough undercooked, no matter how great your stone is.

Even at the International pizza championships every oven for the Neapolitan competition is set to 800ºF and changed for no one.

3. Turn Down the Flame After Launching Your Pizza

If you're cooking with a wood-fired oven, adding a new log during cooking can cause unwanted heat spikes that burn your pizza. In gas ovens, the flames are too close to the pizza, often causing the top to burn before the bottom has cooked.

 

Pro Tip: Once you launch your pizza, lower the flame for better, even heat distribution. Turn it back up after your first pizza rotation for that perfect crisp.

4. Avoid Overloading with Flour

Flour and semolina are necessary for handling dough, but when you launch your pizza, too much excess flour will burn on the stone and create a bitter taste.

 

Pro Tip: Stretch your dough on a clean, solid surface (wood works best) and shake off excess flour before placing it on your pizza peel. This keeps your pizza crispy and free of burnt flour.

5. Stop Using Cheap, Store-Bought Dough

I get it—convenience is tempting. But here’s the thing: You didn’t invest in a pizza oven just to make subpar pizzas. When you buy cheap dough from the store, you're sacrificing taste, quality, and the entire pizza experience. 

 

These doughs are often loaded with low-quality ingredients like bleached flour, bromated flour, seed oils, and preservatives, which all contribute to a heavy, flavorless pizza.
