Pizza has become a favorite convenience food for busy individuals and families. Countless others rely on pre-made frozen pizzas or compile their own using components, such as packaged crusts and canned sauces. No matter how you put together a pizza, there are limitations to how quickly your home oven can cook it. While a pizza shop can heat their ovens to 700 to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, most conventional home ovens max out at around 500 degrees. At that heat, it takes between 20 and 30 minutes to preheat the oven, plus eight to 15 minutes to bake a pizza. With a wood fired pizza oven, you can attain higher temperatures—approximately 500 to 700 degrees. This sharply cuts pizza cooking time. As a result, you can expect your pizza to cook in just two to five minutes in a wood-fired oven.
