I do not find cooking pizza at home to be more inconvenient than calling from my local pizzeria. It used to be that way, but Pizza places have seemingly made it much more difficult to order. I get charged a delivery fee, yet the delivery fee does not go to the driver. It is a scam and I won’t do it anymore. Been cooking pizza at home regularly for 6 months now and the quality is so much better than buying it.

When you are looking at a compact pizza oven and are on a budget, you will get much better results with the outdoor pizza ovens. I own the Roccbox and really enjoy using it, but there are many great ones for sale. I have read a lot of good things about the Napoli pizza oven too.

Sounds great except for the onions. I am not a picky eater and I love onions, but I despise onions on Pizza. I even like anchovies on my pizza, but definitely keep the onions off of it.

The underpaid staff that doesn’t care and overpriced pizza. There is only one local pizza joint that I like, and unfortunately, their hours of operation are so erratic you never know if they are going to be open or not. I have been there on Saturday nights when they have closed up. I make my pizza at home and don’t miss having to deal with the illiterate high school stoners who work at Dominos. Until I can decide which pizza oven I want to buy, I have been making it in my oven.

I buy the pizza crust that comes in the refrigerated roll. I unroll it onto a cooking sheet and then add sauce, cheese, and spicy ground sausage that I pre-cooked with onions and green pepper. It is not the best pizza in the World, but it does taste much better than Dominos and Pizza Hut.

The mushrooms also do not taste fresh. I want fresh mushrooms and a lot of them. I think it is definitely time that my family invests in a quality pizza oven so I can have all the mushroom pizza I desire.

I always use mozzarella for my pizza. I like swiss cheese but have never used it on pizza before. Might have to give that a try. One thing I add that a lot of fo people don’t care for is sauerkraut. I love sauerkraut on my pizza with some cooked up spicy sausages sliced really thick on top. The spicy sausage is cheaper than buying pepperoni and tastes even better.

Once you start making pizza like this at home you’ll begin to realize how awful the pizza is at Pizza Hut and other chains. My favorite is loading one up with mushrooms, tomatoes, and swiss cheese. For the sauce, I just use some light oil brushed on. It tastes much better than store-bought pizza and is so much cheaper to make.

I just assumed it was normal for a pizza to sit in the oven at 400 degrees or so for 15-25 minutes. At 900 degrees it only takes a few minutes and the top of the pizza comes out much better tasting with the toppings crispier. I never realized I needed a pizza oven until I saw this article.

You can easily set it out on your patio though and it would always be right there ready to use. In summertime during the hot weather, you’d be glad that you are cooking outside with it so you can avoid heating up your house more.

I saw on the product page that it said it came with Cordierite Stone. I had to google to learn what it is. The Pizza stone is the stone that you place the pizza on when you cook it, but the stones come in 3 different types depending on the brand you buy. Pizza stones can be made of Cordierite Stone, ceramic, or steel.

Cordierite Stone is the most durable of the three and can’t handle extreme temperatures much better. It can also go from cold to directly into the hot oven with little chance of it cracking on you.

Steel pizza stones are made of steel and not actual stone material, so they don’t spread the heat out as evenly, however, steel pizza stones can handle even higher temperatures than the Cordierite Stones. Considering that the Cordierite Stone heats up just fine in the 900-degree temperature of the Napoli Pizza Oven, I can’t see any benefit to using steel except it is cheaper. Maybe if you were cooking other things besides pizza and needed to go hotter than 900 degrees then I can see how steel might work.

Ceramic pizza stones are the cheapest to make and buy. Ceramic pizza stones also are great at conducting heat evenly and transferring the heat to the pizza from the oven. Ceramic stones can last a long time but are more fragile if abused or not handled properly.

The only downside is you can’t use it inside. I guess you can with the propane tank, but I wouldn’t recommend using it inside. The problem with the Napoli Outdoor Pizza Oven is you would get used to such good homemade pizza that it would spoil you and you wouldn’t want to ever eat Dominos pizza ever again.
