Specifications

Temperature range: 50°C – 400°C
Inner diameter: 32 cm

Pros

Low 1.2 kW power draw is approachable for a normal home circuit.
Eight-minute stated heat-up keeps the barrier to a quick weeknight bake low.
The 32 cm refractory floor and included peels make it a complete starter set.

Cons

The 32 cm deck limits the pizza size and gives little room for turning.
At 400°C it is better suited to smaller, slower home bakes than a true 60-second Neapolitan service.
The compact stone has less thermal reserve for repeated pizzas than a heavier oven floor.

How the calculator uses this oven

Temperature and bake time. It reaches 400°C. At the default hydration, the calculator bakes Traditional Napoletana (60%) at 400°C on the deck for about 105 seconds, and Pizza Classica (65%) at 278°C on the deck for about 6 minutes.
Baking surface. The calculator assumes the stock cordierite stone. Swap in a biscotto and Traditional Napoletana takes about 110 seconds instead of 105 seconds.
Hydration for this oven. The bake runs longer than Traditional Napoletana wants, so the calculator recommends 60–64% hydration here, against the style's usual 58–65%.
Baker corrections. Bake times learn from bakers' reports on this oven. A correction starts once at least 5 successful bakes from 3 different bakers share the same style and surface.

Formulas this oven bakes

Can Pizza Hobby CLASSICO bake Traditional Napoletana?

Pizza Hobby CLASSICO reaches at most 400°C, below the roughly 419°C needed for a traditional 60–90 second Napoletana bake. Raising hydration within your flour's capacity can still produce a crisp pizza with Neapolitan character.
