How to tell it’s done

Every oven runs a little differently — use these visual cues over the clock.

🟤

Crust

Deep golden-brown, with dark “leopard” spots on high-heat bakes
Edge feels firm when pressed, not doughy or pale
Rim has visibly risen and set

🧀

Cheese

Fully melted with light golden-brown blistering
Small pools of oil visible on pepperoni or sausage
No dull, unmelted patches near the center

🔍

Bottom

Lift with a peel or spatula — should be golden-brown to charred, not pale
Firm and slightly crisp, not soft or translucent
No raw flour smell

💨

General signs

Sauce is bubbling, not just simmering at the edges
Pizza smells toasty, not like raw dough
Crust sounds slightly hollow when tapped underneath
