Why don’t pizza restaurants need to do that?
Can an Ooni get to 500°C?
If you’re using it on Venus, yes.

Not far off, especially on a still, hot day. Ours is the cheapest pellet burner and I’ve seen 470°c on the stone using a digital gun type thermometer.
Thing is tho, if the stone is that hot it tends to burn the underside of the pizza before the toppings are cooked. I would say the optimum range to get a perfect cook is 375-400c.

I think preconceptions that you need to bake at very high heat means that many people end up with a burnt pizza with a soft middle.
I’ve found it’s about getting the right balance between temperature - time in oven - amount of toppings. I’ve found 1.5 to 2 mins @350c works for the thickness of crust and amount of toppings my family insist upon.
I’ll either get it up to 350c, launch and then turn the heat right down so there’s still a bit of rolling flame, or launch at 300c and turn it up so you get a bigger flame on top to cook the toppings.

With my gas ooni I find a long heat up to get it really hot, slip it in and switch off the flame to get the base cooking but slow the toppings down a little
Then switch heat back in if needed to finish toppings
My issue is getting the base to cook through properly if I don’t do the above as toppings go too quickly
Go easy on toppings too as others have said, add things like rocket/oarmajano/ charcuterie after it’s cooked can be nice too

Debating whether to invest in the crowdcube share offer for Gozney.
The internet is full of doom and says this sort of thing is just for mugs and it’s a cash grab (before the owners sell out and make money, leaving investors with a loss).
But… sometimes a risk might have an upside. The company could take off and any future listing could reward early investors.
Guess my question is: do all these sorts of things just prey on fanboys? I don’t mind a risky investment but I do mind a dead end.
I had the same invitation. I decided if I wanted to invest money then I wanted the outcomes to be at least regulated whatever the risk level.
But you know, you might get something out of this?
It might be just me, but I’d like at least something like a piece of paper that covers the potential future options for my money before I toss it into somebody else’s bank account with no rights attached.
You get shares. But it’s not yet listed.
My worry is this pays off debt, then when the sale comes the shares are worth less but the executives have all done ok by then.
If Gozney do break the outdoor market in the USA it could pay back.
I’m just not sure they can do it as it’s ultra competitive. They have a great range but don’t seem to maximise the add on side (if I invested I’d consider the outlay written off - high risk speculation).
If you want to invest, there are places to do that. If you want to gamble, there are places to do that too.
You decide what this is and whether it’s better than the other two options.
Guess that’s why I’m asking for any insight. Giving kick start companies equity money is always a risk.
This sort of fundraising technique is new to me so I am a bit unsighted. There’s the don’t invest in someting of you don’t get it - but sometimes these sorts of things have a much larger potential upside (even if it’s less likely).
Like I said at the beginning, what’s on the bit of paper you get, and how regulated is it.
I’d always go back to my original investment strategy, how does this fit in, rather than get too carried away with an ‘opportunity’ that presents itself.
Or just bung in some money you’re not afraid to lose and see what happens (effectively gambling).

If you can afford to lose the money without getting upset, etc.
(I’m about to do this with a horse syndicate). If you can’t, then don’t do it
It looks a better bet than the John Westlake DAC debacle, but I guess that’s not really a high bar.
I’m slightly wary of the crowd funding thing having been very slightly stung on a Kickstarter, if I’m investing in a company, I want a piece of paper that says I own a little bit of it.
You could invest your Crypto winnings into it?
Also, look what the venture capitalists did to the “punk investors” in Brewdog, they created a new type of share that has effectively rendered the crowdfund investors shares worthless.

Kind of hoping the Lopwell Pizzas could be franchised, across the nation via kick starter - you know branded like ‘sloppy Guisseppie’ but with honesty and integrity - Something like - ‘Undercooked dough Co’…
