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, which impart a smoky flavor, and modern electric versions that offer convenience and precise temperature control. Many pizzerias and home cooks use these ovens to replicate the authentic taste of pizzas found in Italian restaurants.
