> Set oven to max temperature
This instruction in the Neapolitan Pizza recipe got me interested. Surely there is an upper limit?
Turns out the Wikipedia article about oven temperatures [1] has a dedicated entry:
> Neapolitan pizza: 905°F (485°C)
Which is way more than I expected. I guess this justifies the “set oven to max“.

- stewx 5y agoNote: this will significantly reduce the life of your oven. The self-cleaning cycle is torture for the oven components. They are not really built to withstand the heat.
- fastball 5y agoBasically the reason there are pizza ovens is because they get way hotter than a normal oven.
