Pizza sauce is an element that acts as a complement, an enhancer if you will, to the rest of a pie's ingredients. The ideal pizza sauce has substantial flavor yet doesn’t overpower the rest of the ingredients on a pizza. Purists insist simple is best, using only the best tomatoes, a pinch of salt, and maybe some fresh basil. Others say the best sauce starts by simmering onions with herbs and needs hours to cook down on the kitchen stove. In this blog we’ll take a look at the different types of pizza sauce and how to prepare one.

"So what else can it cook?" We hear that pretty frequently at Pizzacraft, as customers discover the amazing cooking power of the Pizzeria Pronto Outdoor Pizza Oven. With a 14,500 BTU propane burner, the Pronto cooks a fantastic pizza in just five minutes. It's become a hit with thousands of people across the country, and understandably, the Pronto's fans want to see what else it can do! Ultimately, the oven can cook a lot of other things (even chow mein!) but today we'll take a look at the most important meal of the day: breakfast. Here's how you can make pancakes and crepes on your own pizza oven.

The perfect baking stone or steel. The perfect temperature. The perfect pizza dough, the perfect sauce, the perfect cheese, the perfect toppings. All you gotta do is slide your pizza into the oven, and you’re mere minutes away from hot, delicious, homemade pizza.You take your peel and insert it into the oven, giving it a shake to slide the pizza off. That’s when you realize: the pizza won’t budge!

Pizza steels are leaving pizza stones back in the Stone Age! Once word got out that slabs of steel conduct heat better and are more durable than stone, we here at Pizzacraft saw interest in them skyrocket. With that came new questions – and new ideas – about how to use the steels. “Can a pizza steel be used on a gas grill?” was one that caught our attention. After all, when Pizzacraft was founded, we focused products for cooking pizza on the grill. Some rigorous testing was definitely in order!

Now that we’re well into 2016, many of us are trying not to break our New Year’s resolutions. Some are trying to quit smoking, while others are making an oath to return to the gym. My personal resolution is something I’ve been trying to grasp for a while now: eating healthier. Since half of my job involves pizza I’ve got my work cut out for me, but after thinking about it I realized there are more than a few simple ways to make pizza healthier. One of these things is to swap your traditional dough recipe for a delicious antioxidant-rich whole wheat pizza dough.
