Vera Pizza Napoletana

A quick word on oven temperature. There has been 

a lot of discussion on oven temperature ever since 

Forno Bravo first translated the original Verace Pizza 

Napoletana document a number of years ago. Since 

then we have received many emails and phone calls 

asking our opinion on cooking temperature, and 

whether the 900°F mentioned in the document is 

essential.
First, it is worth noting that there are multiple 

documents and web sites that mention Pizza 

Napoletana, and that there really is not a “correct” 

temperature. The VPN association in the U.S. says 

800°F, and other Italian sites mentions 750°F.
Our thinking is that there is more to temperature than 

a single number. As a pizzaiolo, you have to manage 

dome and cooking floor temperature, as well air 

temperature and the heat of your flame. Focusing on 

one a single number misses the point, and everyone 

we have spoken with in the Pizza Napoletana 

community concurs. It’s sort of like saying “mine goes 

to 11.”
What everyone does agree on is that a high heat, 

wood- fired oven is the best and only way to bake an 

authentic pizza, and that the quality of your finished 

pizza relies on the technique you use when making 

your dough and dough balls, the quality of the 

ingredients you use, and how delicately you shape 

and assemble your pizza – along with how well you 

manage your oven.

13. Pizza Baking

Your oven is fired, the dome is white, and the cooking 

floor is clean. You have assembled your first pizza, 

and you are ready to go. Test to make sure you pizza 

is not stuck on your peel by moving your peel forward 

and backward using short jerks - it should slide easily 

around. If it does stick, lift it up on one side using 

your fingers, and throw a little flour underneath. Slide 

your peel back and forth, and that should loosen it 

up.
If your pizzas consistently stick to the peel, use 

more flour underneath your pizza dough before you 

start decorating. Also, if you have a group of people 

assembling pizzas, and one sits for a while before 

you place it in the oven, there is a large chance it will 

stick.
Next, choose a target roughly centered between the 

fire and dome wall – at least 6" away from the edge 

of the fire. The best way to place your pizza is to push 

your peel toward your spot, then stop it just short 

that spot, allowing the pizza to slide off the peel. Pull 

the peel backward as the pizza slides forward.
You will know that your oven is hot enough to bake 

correctly when the cornicione of the fresh pizza puffs 

up almost immediately.
After about 60 seconds, slide your turning peel under 

the pizza and turn it 180 degrees, so that the side that 

was furthest from the fire is now facing it. The Forno 

Bravo round turning peel has a hand glide that allows 

you to rotate the peel under the pizza in order to 

easily rotate it.
If your pizza is burning on the side facing the fire, you 

should turn it sooner. After another 45-90 seconds, 

your pizza should be done. You can also try turning 

your pizza twice, rotating it in thirds. Experiment, and 

stick with what works best for you.
Optionally, you can lift your pizza up for the last few 

seconds with your peel, holding it closer to the dome. 

The reflecting heat of the dome will quickly finish 

baking your pizza if the top is not quite done.
If you have a larger oven that can hold four or more 

pizzas, not all of the pizzas of the pizzas can be placed 

directly across from the fire. In that case, you should 

start you pizzas in the zone closest to the fire, then 

move them to the outer zone to finish baking. You 

will find a rhythm where you will take one pizza out,
