I won’t make pizza any other way.
Restaurants have very hot ovens that can help achieve this easily.
(The pizza peel can be heated and used to mimic a hot pizza oven.)

So I continued making sheet pan pizza regardless of the disappointing pale crust.
This simple shift changed everything!
Thats how I can get that crispy crust Ive been looking for without any fussy kitchen tools.

Turn the oven on and place the empty sheet pan in it.
Pull the parchment paper with the pizza on top to the edge of the counter.
Place a hot pad on the counter next to the pizza and put an oven mitt on.

Use your free hand to get the pizza onto the sheet pan by pulling on the parchment paper.
You may need to straighten out the parchment paper too.
Work as quickly as possible so that the pan doesnt cool down too much.

Then, pop the pizza into the oven to bake.
Why not set the sheet pan on a hot pad and lift the parchment into it?
Believe me, Ive tried!
It doesnt workthe dough and toppings will droop and fall off.
