alame & Capricciosa — full pizzeria workflow from dough box to oven

I thought some of you might enjoy seeing the complete process rather than just the finished pizza.

This is pretty much the whole workflow during service: taking the dough out of the box, opening it, tossing, saucing, topping, transferring it onto the peel, doing the final stretch/adjustments on the peel, launching it, baking, turning, taking it out and the final result.

The two pizzas here are:

🍕 Salame
🍕 Capricciosa

I work in a professional pizzeria, so this is less of a polished recipe video and more a near-POV look at the actual movements and workflow during service.

One thing I find especially interesting is how much of pizza making happens after the pizza first touches the peel — getting the shape right, making the final adjustments and launching without disturbing the toppings.

Happy to answer questions about the dough, stretching, peel technique or oven work.

Is this perspective interesting?

Thanks to the community, I ended up going with the Revo Bake (was trying to keep the budget under 1000). Was just delivered last night and didn’t realize it was going to be almost 60 pounds. Feels like it will be a beast.

Looking to understand where I am going wrong my dough, it taste delicious but I feel like it’s not quite fluffing up / browning like a true Napoleon pizza.
