Pizza ovens in winter?

Thinking of getting a propane-powered pizza oven for my covered deck and am curious if anyone has experience using one outdoors during a Northern winter ~-20C. My main concerns are the ceramic base cracking and the oven's ability to reach the necessary temperature.

As you can see only one of them came out ok. It looks good but the dough seemed to lack the proper texture, it was kind of gummy on the inside not light and airy. Any tips on how to improve? The second one was an attempt at new york style but I stretched it too thin.

Pizza Oven Revolution is here!

Hey everyone, my team and I are building a new 538°C pizza oven in Switzerland because we were tired of small ovens, thin stones losing heat in the wind. We added a glass door and a Smart LED Pizza Coach. What do you guys think of this design? Are we missing any crucial features?

pizza,genznyROCBOX

Hi everyone, could you help me understand why my Gozney Roccbox cannot reach the temperature claimed by the official preheating time?

In my area, I’m using a 28mbar pressure regulator and a propane-butane mixed gas. However, it does not show the pressure value for the mixed gas.,After preheating on maximum flame for 15 minutes, the stone temperature is only 310°C, while the official one has already reached over 400°C.

When should I put chicken toppings on the pizza? Should I precook the chicken?

I have a chefman pizza oven that can hit 850f and was wondering when to put grilled chicken on the pizza.

my current plan:

  1. Sous vide chicken to 150f
  2. Sear chicken
  3. Cut chicken up into cubes
  4. Put diced chicken on top of the cheese (Might make sense to put under the cheese? not sure)
  5. bake pizza

First bake! Sourdough margherita pizza

The right side got a little messed up with launching but it was delicious!

Homemade sourdough crust, San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil & Parmesan on top.

How’d I do? Tips for spinning the pizza?

If anyone hasn't seen this deal Ace Hardware selling Gozney Arc Bone for $599.99 I think its bc Gozney is stopping the sale of the Bone color since it's unavailable on their website.

Hi everyone!

For the last few months, I’ve been obsessing over hydration percentages and fermentation times, balancing my life as a professional pizza chef and a solo developer.

I realized I wanted a tool that was professional enough for technical doughs, but simple enough for a Sunday pizza at home. After countless friends asked me for recipes or tips on how to bake the perfect pizza, I decided to build this app.

This is my first official project, and it's a huge milestone for me: I’m currently working on transitioning from the kitchen to a developer role, and this app is the first step in that journey.

So, I built Easy Dough. It’s a native Android app designed to take the guesswork out of the process without the clutter.

⚠️ Availability Note: For now, the app is only available in Europe. I'm working on expanding to other regions soon!

What to expect:

  • Native & Modern: Built with Jetpack Compose, fully optimized for Android 15 (Edge-to-Edge).
  • Focus on Direct Doughs: Simple, reliable results for home and pro bakers (Biga/Poolish coming in the future!).
  • Clean UI: I’ve tried to keep it as "flour-hand friendly" as possible.
  • Language Support: Currently available in English and Italian.

Monetization Transparency:

The app is free to use. It includes a small banner and an occasional interstitial (no spam) to help me cover the flour for my tests! 🍕 (No hidden trackers or sketchy permissions).

What's next:

I'm working on a Flour Guide to help users pick the right flour strength. I know that (W) values are mostly an Italian thing, so I’ll be bridging the gap by including protein percentages and international naming conventions to make it useful for bakers everywhere once the app goes global.

I’m a solo dev and I’d love to get your honest feedback on the UX and the calculations. If you're a baker based in Europe, let me know what you think!

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marco.easydough&hl

Thanks for the support! Any advice, feature requests, or feedback is highly appreciated!
