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 often have a stone or ceramic surface that helps create a crispy crust. There are various types of pizza ovens, including traditional wood-fired models, which impart a unique flavor, and modern electric versions that offer convenience. Many pizzerias use commercial-grade ovens, while home cooks can choose smaller, portable options for backyard use or indoor cooking.
