Who's behind Pizza Planet
Pizza Planet is a small team obsessed with home pizza. Marco Rivera has baked 2,000+ pizzas since 2018 and leads our recipe and tool testing. Priya Patel, a culinary-school graduate and former pizzeria line cook, develops and tests every recipe at least five times before it goes live. Jake Lindgren built the dough calculator and keeps the site fast.
We don't accept payment for placement. Every tool we recommend is one we've used in our own kitchens for weeks, every recipe is one we'd make again, and our dough math is cross-checked against the AVPN disciplinare. The goal is simple: help you skip the guesswork and make pizza you're proud of. More about how we test →
