Glenn Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 What size is the pizza, how many toppings, and is it a coal fired oven, wood fired oven, charcoal fired over, gas oven, or electric oven? Lots of questions need answers before we can hazard a guess. Please add your location, and if you deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 We may not be the right people to ask. We're typically trying to reach temperatures between about 1500 and 2300 degrees F. Burners suitable for forging are most likely far less than ideal for making pizza. Maybe someone on here has experience in that area, but I'm hesitant to give any advice since the application is so much different than anything I've done.

JustAnotherViking Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 5 minutes at 250 degrees or 5 seconds at 2500 degrees. Sounds like a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Yes they do cook pizza using coal as a heat source. At 0:55 he says they load up the oven each morning with 100 pounds of clean burning coal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I struggle to keep the weight off over the Holidays, I appreciate your posting of this inspiring video which endorses healthy eating. At least as far as the pizza is concerned, I see a well balanced and nutritious combination of all of the necessary food groups. Interesting how the coal is piled to one side of the oven.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Pizza is the fifth food group IMHO. When I was a puppy working in an Italian restaurant, we cooked the pizza's in a gas fired oven at 500° F oven for 8 minutes. I forgot the time once and set the oven on fire.
