        Professional pizza ovens do reach temperatures between 350°C and 500°C. So 420°C isn’t unreasonable for a pizza, your oven at home probably won’t get that hot though.

          I have a cheap small electric 400C pizza oven, but that’s not something you’d use for frozen pizza. And I still wished it could get a bit hotter…

          The pizza I make is still decent, however - already got the approval from a few Italian friends. It’s Neapolitan style pizza, not Roman.

      I mean…my convection oven does either 410, or 425.

      I cook everything at 425. So you’re not far off from what I do.

      Weed references aside, pizzerias cook their pizzas at anywhere from 500-1000°F depending on the place and type of pie, so given that most home ovens max out at about 500-550, don’t be afraid to crank it to the max (just don’t forget to reduce the cooking time to compensate). The texture of the crust ends up being more like a pizza place’s crust when you use more heat.
