A pizza oven is a specialized cooking appliance designed to bake pizzas at high temperatures, typically between 700°F and 900°F (370°C to 480°C). These ovens can be fueled by wood, gas, or electricity, and they create a unique environment that helps achieve a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese. There are various types of pizza ovens, including traditional wood-fired models, modern gas ovens, and electric countertop versions. Each type offers different benefits, such as portability or ease of use, making it possible for both professional chefs and home cooks to enjoy delicious, homemade pizza.
