> Set oven to max temperature

This instruction in the Neapolitan Pizza recipe got me interested. Surely there is an upper limit?

Turns out the Wikipedia article about oven temperatures [1] has a dedicated entry:

> Neapolitan pizza: 905°F (485°C)

Which is way more than I expected. I guess this justifies the “set oven to max“.

People will hack their ovens to run cleaning cycles without locking for pizza making purpose.

Note: this will significantly reduce the life of your oven. The self-cleaning cycle is torture for the oven components. They are not really built to withstand the heat.

Basically the reason there are pizza ovens is because they get way hotter than a normal oven.
