pizzas for a group

recently got the gozney arc and have been loving it. that said, i'm still not fully confident in my launching skills. it *usually* works, but every once in a while, it doesn't.

we are having about 10 people over on sunday and i would love to make new york style pizzas in the arc for them. what can i do to make the whole process more stress-free? par bake them in our oven so that the dough is more easily launchable? if so, how should I do it?

ArcXL stone swap - NY style pizza

I’m waiting on a new bottle of propane so convinced the other half that what we really need is a pizza steel for the oven midweek.

Blown away by the results from a 250c oven.

Have any of you tried changing out the XL stone for something with greater thermal conductivity?

I really like the top down heat for charring and toppings but I’ve never had this good of a base from the arc.

I find that the temps needed for a longer bake don’t translate well into crust spring and base browning.

Usually launch at 400c on low heat and then turn heat off once sides are browned to let the base finish - Pulling around 370c.

Cleaning

Hello All!

I have the arc lite and I put my flame on high after every use for a half hour to clean the stone per gozney. The inside does get clean however I am having trouble getting the outer most part of the stone clean. I even ran it once for an hour on high flame and no luck with getting the outer most part cleaned. Anyone have any tips/tricks? Does a soft bristle brush work? Open to all suggestions.

Edit: thanks all for the suggestions/comments. It seems the consensus here is that this is to be expected as with any pizza oven. If I really wanted to get this off I would most likely need a baffle to get the temp hotter on the outer part of the stone.

A bit more canotto style. Pesto cream, prosciutto, stracciatella, cherry tomatoes, and hot honey

Gozney tread/lite turning pizza with peel

Learning this oven and how to bake right now, I see all the videos of people using the turning peel to turn the pizza while cooking

But the 12.2 clearance makes it feel impossible to do, does anyone have tips or methods to rotating a 12 inch pizza with ease?

Any Arc owners regret not getting the XL

Hi all,
I’m looking to buy either the Arc or Arc XL and I’m leaning toward the smaller version. Will I regret it? Is there any other benefit in the XL other than 16 inch pizza instead of 14?

First go on the Gozney Arc, gotta say I love it.

Using a dough recipe from the peddler and cooking in the rain made it a challenge we had a few flops and some more overwhelming success. Gonna be a great summer 😎🤙

Stand

So I will be getting an XL soon and was wondering what people are using for a stand, and if the gozney stand is actually worth the money, I do not have a massive amount of space in my garden so I don't think I would be needing to move/roll it around, so I'm thinking of possibly building something, as I have plenty of wood available, Also added bonus points if anyone has any kind of plans I could follow 😂 or if anyone knows of any alternatives

Thanks

Feedback / advice

New owner of an arc lite, my first time cooking with my own dough today. Was very happy with the flavour and texture but just wondering how to get better leoparding and a bigger cornicione? Is it an issue with my stretching, cooking or my dough?

I used Molina naldoni Lucia dough

60% hydration with 1g dry yeast and cold fermented for 36 hours.

Is someone using an aftermarket heat shield?

Sometimes I face issues with burnt crusts, thinking about getting a heat shield. Looking forward to tips and recommendations. In the picture you can see a contemporary dough, 72% hydration. Toppings: yellow tomato sauce, spianata piccante and fior di Latte Mozzarella

Launching

I recently just got the Arc XL. Did a few pizzas I picked up from Papa Murphy’s and launched them with some pizza flour. First one was a terrible mess up and all folded up ( too hard to get off peel ). Second one was better, just all my toppings were on one side. I’m planning on making my own dough this time, but would love tips on what you prep the peel with or any other launching tips.

Started to downpour right after launching the first pizza tonight

Luckily i have it on wheels and the overhang keeps it out of the rain except for when it comes in sideways.

Biscotto stones

I have a couple of ArcXL ovens I am strongly considering upgrading to biscotto. Can someone that has already done this comment on pros/cons? I cook 40-60 pizzas in the span of a couple hours so I am mainly interested in stone temperature recovery and heat transfer to bottom of pizza. I would love if the biscotto was just a little more forgiving than the stock stone.

Reputable online store? US based.

TIA

White Pie

Made one of Frank Pinello’s recipes this evening. He’s calls this a “white pie”. The recipe is on Gozney’s website. Super good if you’re looking to make a pie without sauce.

I launched this one in at around 700F and turned the flame off for a couple minutes like people suggested, then turned it back on for a total of 6 min total cooking time.

Oven safe cooking devices

What should I be looking for if I want a sheet tray/larger pan/ roasting device that can go into a gozney arc xl and withstand the high heat. Something large enough to roast several vegetables etc.

Picked up a Arc Tread, and would like to make Detroit. What size pan?

Hi I’ve been making pizza In my oven for a couple years now and finally decided to pull the trigger on a pizza oven.

The Arc Tread/lite have a clearance of 12.2 width. Would a 12x12x1.5 square Lloyd pan be ok for this oven? Or is that too little clearance for it?

I’m debating between 12x12 or 10x10. Preferably I’d like to get the 12x12 if possible. Want to get some thoughts on this from experience. Thanks!
