While the Solo Stove Pi is capable of producing a Neapolitan-style pizza in as little as two minutes, we found that it actually bakes a better pie if you cook for a minute more on its ideal, medium heat setting. For achieving the desired flavor for your pizza, it becomes essential for you to choose the right wood pellets for your pizza oven. On the other hand, the BakerStone Original offers a quality pizza on par with higher-performance ovens but costs half as much.

We will tackle temperature in more detail in the following section, so for now, we will focus on average cook time. Avoiding moisture will help the wood to burn cleanly, and prevent the smoke from being too thick and pale.
