Thinking back a month and a half about my first attempted pizza in an outdoor oven. Kept it sliding on a mountain of semolina for the launch, it turned out well, and now I’m ripping a few of these every week for us. These pizzas can be elite, and with care, anyone can (probably) do them.

A pizza with melted cheese and slices of pickles on a wooden pizza peel, placed on a black metal mesh table along with a pizza cutter.
