it is possible to cook the pizza @ 900F without the dough burning instantly (KoukiR). this is possible because the dough they use made from Type "00" Caputo flour and the recipe has a high water content which allows the dough to steam and gives it that "blistering" on the crust. ALSO, in the oven, they do not sweep it out after cooking every pizza because the ash insulates the dough and protects it from the hot stone which in turn will NOT burn the pizza.
Rafaele Esposito made the pizza for Margherita of Savoy. I've been meaning to correct that from the moment I said it. Sorry, first time on TV and I was nervous.
@filipplo Sorry but you are very wrong. If he did mean it than it further proves to me that people opening Neapolitan pizzerias know nothing about anything and that they are just riding the Neapolitan pizza wave. Even though the oven could get that hot they don't bake that hot. It would burn the dough in an instant if he baked at 900C. Then you are saying they bake at 950C which is even higher temp which they DEFINITELY dont bake at.
and no i do not work at Libretto in Toronto. im just a certified pizziolo and couldnt resist a comment.

He meant 900F not 900C.

@KoukiR no, he meant 900C :) If you use good wood, you can get up to 1000C in the dome, and about 950C where pizzas are cooking
