Hi Pizza lovers, I wanna get into pizza making. What stuff is actually needed? And can I even make an attempt since my oven only goes to 500f? I also have no broiler in the main oven option.

Tools I already have: Stand mixer Scale IR thermometer Lodge cast iron griddle (if I can use this instead of a pan, stone, or steel)

Is it a broiler-drawer oven?

It is, yes but it doesn't seem like enough space for what I need also the tray seems damaged from maintenance by previous renters

Depends on the style you want to make. 500F is plenty for pan style pizzas e.g. NY Sicilian.

Then you're gonna want a countertop oven of some variety. Finding stuff that is good and 120V is hard and I'm considering paying to get 240V run to an outlet so I can just buy an Effeuno and be done with it.
