• Everybody loves pizza. Thats why theres so many
  restaurants and pizza joints around the world
  that serve it. But not all pizza is created
  equal. It turns out the oven your pizza is cooked
  in can make a big difference in how it turns out.

3

• There are 3 types of pizza ovens wood burning,
  gas, and electric. Each of these ovens have their
  own advantages and disadvantages, and each type
  gives the pizzas it cooks a distinctive taste and
  texture.

4

• Capable of handling high volumes of pizza,
  usually up to six 12 pizzas at once.
• Uses radiant heat to evenly cook the top and
  bottom of the pizza, making sure the crust is
  crispy and the toppings fully cooked.
• Front-mounted doors make loading and unloading
  easy.

5

• Pizzas have to be rotated constantly at least
  once every 2-3 minutes or else theyll burn!
• Using gas ovens is very labor intensive and
  requires constant vigilance.
• Cooking pizzas in a gas oven is a very, very slow
  process.

6

• Electric pizza ovens are more user-friendly than
  gas ovens.
• Many are equipped with a deck, an extra heating
  element that cooks the pizza from the top as well
  as the bottom.
• Some use brick, stone, or ceramic tiles to
  replicate the effect of a wood-burning oven.

7

• Electric ovens often make dry pizzas with crusts
  that are too thin.
• Try as they might, decks cant fully replicate
  the effect of cooking in a wood-burning oven.
• Cold spots may appear between pizzas, requiring
  extra work to keep heat from escaping the oven.

8

• Wood-burning pizza ovens are the original pizza
  ovens, and theyre still the best way to cook a
  pizza. Able to reach much higher temperatures
  than either a gas or electric oven, wood-burning
  pizza ovens cook faster and more thoroughly,
  producing tasty, authentic pies.

9

• Wood-burning ovens harness the power of
  convection, which allows the hot air to circulate
  and cook the pizza just right. Crispy on the
  outside, warm in the center, and with all the
  toppings cooked just right!
