Hey Jessica, awesome recipe!
Do you have any experience using ovens that are specifically designed for cooking pizzas? I use my regular oven whenever I make pizzas, but I've been thinking of purchasing an oven just for cooking pizzas. From what I've heard, they cook better pizzas faster. Have you ever used one of these, and if so, what make & model was it?
Thanks 🙂
