Couple issues solved. Went and bought a temp gauge and made a pizza peel after going to multiple stores and coming out empty handed. Next attempt should go better. Temp is holding steady at 550 degrees right now.

Is it pizza yet???? No, but the crusts are now pre-baked. This took a certain amount of experimentation - how much dough to use, put it in as a ball or semi-flattened, time, etc. I will say this much - while the texture is spot-on (it IS a basic serious Neopolitan dough, after all), I won't go this route again. It took a lot more effort and time than I really wanted it to, and now I have flour all over my back porch... the chairs on the back porch.... my camera. Speaking of which, my camera is water-proof, but I guess I'll find out soon enough if it's flour-proof!
