To bake your own pizza, you need all the right equipment, including a pizza oven. A wood-burning pizza oven was a major buy.
The dough and heating method are crucial to pizza production. You must follow all dough parameters when producing your own crust.
A reliable scale confirmed by our test kitchen will ensure accuracy with any ingredients, and a sturdy stand mixer will help relieve arm strain.
You will find many pizza gadgets and ones I have tried in my kitchen. Starting out or experienced, there is something for everyone.

Ooni Koda 16 Gas Pizza Oven

Our research and testing of outdoor pizza ovens found the Ooni Koda Pizza Oven to be the most user-friendly and easiest to install.
The Ooni’s big entryway can withstand rotating pizzas in the oven or moving in and out. An easier way to access pizzas while baking would improve their quality.
At 932 degrees Fahrenheit, the gas oven can bake 16-inch crusts with equally melted mozzarella cheese that are golden and crunchy.
Despite being light, the oven is huge, so check the specifications to make sure it fits. Despite its durability, this outdoor oven is light enough for one person to move.
The simple functioning of this model allows you to order pizza during the week more often, even though ordering pizza may feel like a special occasion.

Dexter-Russell 18023P Outdoors 4-Inch Pizza Cutter
Dexter-Russell 18023P Outdoors 4-Inch Pizza Cutter
- Brand:Â Dexter-Russell
- Item Dimensions LxWxH:Â 9.25 x 4 x 1 inches
- Item Weight:Â 0.28 Pounds

Regular knives cannot cut pizza. A spinning pizza wheel cutter like Dexter-Russell Outdoors’ 4-inch model is vital for cutting even slices. It was our favorite pizza cutter due to its stain-resistant blade, safe finger guard, and textured handles that prevent slipping.
Popular pizza cutters lose their sharpness rapidly, but their blades are easy to fix and available separately. This knife should last a lifetime if you maintain it and buy replacement blades. It cleans readily in soapy water but not in a dishwasher.
ThermoPro TP30 Digital Infrared Thermometer Gun
ThermoPro TP30 Digital Infrared Thermometer Gun

- Special Feature:Â Fast Reading System
- Age Range (Description):Â Adult
- Included Components:Â Batteries included
- Outer Material:Â Plastic
- Specification Met:Â FCC
- Display Type:Â Digital
- Connectivity Technology:Â Laser
The most crucial component in cooking is temperature, hence a thermometer is needed whether the pizza is baked on a pizza stone or in an outdoor oven. Crust will rise less gracefully if the oven is not heated properly between pies.
ThermoPro Digital Infrared Thermometer Gun did best due to its 500-millisecond response time and 1.5-degree Fahrenheit accuracy. I have found that the stone cools after the pizza dough and cold toppings touch it. I check the temperature between pizzas for optimal results.
