Anyone else into backyard pizza cooking…

Other than cigars, I do enjoy attempting to perfect my neo style pizza (that’s an entirely other rabbit hole)

I've never been a big pizza guy but i have recently ordered a wolstead pro rapido pizza oven - it was on a ridiculously cheap special. thought it would work for the annual fishing trip and down at the beach house for the nephews. okay, a long way from a serious pizza oven like yours. i'm keen to see how it goes.

I've got a similar pizza oven. It works fine for an electric cooker, just don't go too high on the temp settings. Tends to burn the dough if you're not careful.

Definitely post an update…I’m always interested to see others experiences with pizza making

For those wondering….the pizza oven is a Gozney Dome dual fuel (gas/wood).

The Gozney is really cool.  I am so on the fence whether to buy one.  Not sure if I want to get up in make dough all the time.  Making the cheese is easy and quick.

If you need to do some more research I highly recommend the pizzamakingforum for details on dough recipes and ingredients. I’ve been using the same dough recipe now for the better part of a decade

My buddy is really into making pizza's has the Gozney like yours.  He's the one convincing me to buy one.  I want to see his dough process before I buy it.

I'm really into pizza and would love to have one for a bit higher temp as my oven goes up to 500, but I can't justify the room it would take on my deck since I already have a Traeger Timberline 1300. Plus I'm hesitant about the size of the outdoor ovens vs the size of pizza I cook. I use the max size steel plate I can fit in my indoor oven currently with the largest peel to do a big NY style pizza, NY Grandma Style, South Shore Style, Roman, Detroit, Milwaukee Thin Crust, Chicago Deep Dish etc.  With each of them I have found ways to compensate for not having an oven that will approach the 550-650 temp range.
