The perfect pizza relies on the temperature and the right amount of time to cook to achieve the perfect slice of pizza. Trial and Error come into play when achieving the perfect temperature and cook time which means patience is your greatest tool. Here are some cooking temperatures and times for the most popular styles of pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cooking Temperature: 450-475 degrees F for the standard oven (700-750 degrees F wood-fired oven).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking Time: 15-20 minutes standard oven (7-8 minutes woodfire oven).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since New York Style Pizza has a thin crust, the higher the temperature, the less time it needs in the oven. To achieve the perfect golden brown thin crust crunch, the appropriate time in the oven is around 15-20 minutes. Like all recipes, there is a side note until golden brown<\/em>. Allrecipes have their recipe at 475 degrees and their cooking time depends on how far you stretched the dough. All ovens are different and have different heat levels compared to the standard. It is important to watch and know your oven\u2019s heat level to determine the right temperature and the right cooking time. If using a woodfire oven, the appropriate temperature is 700-750 degrees for about 7-8 minutes or less. You want that golden-brown crust that can only be achieved by the right amount of melted butter, the perfect temperature and appropriate time for that crispy crust and the right amount of golden brown bubbly goodness of the cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking Temperature: 425-450 degrees F.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking Time: 30-35 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chicago Style Pizza is the closest to a \u201cpizza pie\u201d so it requires a slightly lower temperature compared to New York Style Pizza but, a longer cooking time due to the crust being thicker with more toppings. King Arthur Baking suggests the temperature to be at 425 and cook for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown. As always, be aware of the heat levels of your ovens and adjust the temperature and time accordingly until the crust is golden brown. Also, be aware of the amount of toppings on your pizza. Since Chicago Style has more toppings than New York Style, you want to pay attention to how long they are in the oven. Watch for a soggy crust, burnt crust, soggy toppings, and burnt toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking Temperature: 500 degrees F (standard) 905 degrees F (woodfire).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking Time: 6-9 minutes (standard) 5-7 minutes (woodfire).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Neapolitan Pizza is the desired pizza to cook at a higher temperature. Most recipes say to turn up your oven to the highest temperature it can go. I suggest you be careful with that (and yes, be aware of your heat levels). My Pizza Corner turns their oven up all the way for 6-8 minutes for the perfect crisp and char that makes the perfect Neapolitan Pizza. The higher the temperature, the less you cook your pizza. This style of pizza is perfect to cook in the woodfire oven for the thin crispy crust and char. Like all Pizzas, be careful of the amount of toppings and the type of toppings especially vegetables so they don\u2019t burn and make your pizza soggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChicago Style Pizza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
