Normally Pizza day is Saturday, but life happened, so it is today.

NY Style crust, homemade sauce, Grande Mozz/Prov 50/50 blend cheese), pulled pork, 'shooms, and a drizzle of Sweet Baby Rays.

From time put in the oven, until placed on counter and picture taken it was ~ 4 min.
Nice char on crust.

And of course dessert - Breyers Oat Milk Cookies and Cream.
The Breyers Oat Milk is really tasty and creamy.

Thanks all, appreciate the kind comments.

I usually make 5 dough balls at a time on a Wednesday.
One for Saturday, and the other 4 get frozen.
Make once, cleanup once, eat 5 times. 🤣

I've never tested it. Haha
I pretty much just make NY style, so don't need the 800-900f for Neapolitan.
But I believe it is supposed to get that hot.

In summertime about 45 min, pre-heat, winter and hour or more.

I could pre-heat less, but then would take longer to bake.

I'm on the fence at cooking at 700F. Do I make a neopolitan dough with just a bit more hydration, or do I make a NY style dough with a little less hydration? Decisions, decisions...

That's half the fun of cooking...

I believe it is a higher hydration.
Best advice I can give you is go to the PizzaMaking forum.
Lots of recipes and extremely knowledgeable folks (like here).
Create an account and you ask all the questions you want.

I think you are borderline Neapolitan style at 700f, usually 800-900.
Neapolitan pizza is typically made with 00 flour that withstands the higher temp.
It is quite different than other pizza styles.
It has a light and airy crust with minimal toppings, if any.
Had it once at a get together with a couple other local members of the PizzaMaking forum and one the the guys made it.
Now you got me drooling for one.
Guess I should stray from my routine and give it a try.
