But try it at home, and it’s easy to end up with dried-out or soggy-bottomed pies. If that’s your problem, you need an equipment upgrade. The Kalamazoo Artisan Fire Pizza Oven reaches the spectacularly high temperatures needed to cook a perfect pie, mimicking the heat of a wood-fired oven but with the control and responsiveness of gas. It’s a combination so perfect, you’ll never reach for a takeout menu again; $6,495, KalamazooGourmet.com.
