A pizza oven would be best, those are like 700 on the deck and around 1,100 on the dome, but that's not very practical, so as hot as your oven can go, with a stone, and let the oven preheat for a solid 30 minutes. To get the best results, you would want the dough directly on the stone, but with a thin crust and with toppings and the weight of it, even with a well-dusted peel, this can be challenging, but even on a screen would work well. When I do pizza (except thick crust), I put my oven to 550 convection.

Awesome! My stone is slicker than teflon since it's been used at least 30+ years... This is the bottom, almost like new:

Cooking side:

I seriously work on that thing for creating the carbon layer, have so for decades.

If you struggle sliding the pizza of the peel, then try semolina instead of flour..

I think temperature depends very much on the type of pizza.
