I make my own dough or I will use publix dough. I get my temp to 500, have tried 600 and 700 and it is just too hot imho. Have pizza stone sitting on three bricks to allow air flow. Get your stone hot (a must) sprinkle with corn meal and cook dough for a few minutes, flip it over cook a little more. Add sauce , toppings etc and return to egg and cook until edges are light brown and cheese is melted. I cooked 38 pizzas one evening for a hugh party and only burnt one doing it this way and I blame that one on the beer.
