I mean it's also gonna heat real quick of you put it in the sun, but that's not very practical

You can't flash cook something, but you can flash freeze it really easily.

Combustion or vaporization isn't cooking.

Though to be fair, the "proper" way of making pizza in an oven at like 500 C is pretty darn close to flash cooking.

We bake our pizzas at 500. Takes like 20 mins. Pizzerias ovens are even hotter, like 700. Those pizzas can cook in 10 mins.

The official regulation for Neapolitan pizza specifies:

> The cooking must be done exclusively in a wood-fired oven, which has reached a temperature between 430-480C°. With these temperatures, just insert the pizza for 60-90 seconds.

If you make a lot of pizza I highly suggest a pizza steel, or at least a good stone! I bake mine at 260C (500F) and they're done in about 5 minutes. And delicious, too! You're "limited" to more like New York style pizza but hey, that's still a great place to be.

500f yes. My husband worked for a pizzeria and makes homes pizzas all the time. We tried a stone and hated it. We got thin pizza pans from a restaurant supplier. It's been great. We do not make thin pizzas. We make extra large , full of toppings (tomato sauce, black olives, spinach, onions, mozzarella and spices) with decent sized crusts. For us 5 mins would give us a extremely under-cooked pizza. Recently we bought pizza pans in kids size for the kids to make their own creations, those cook much faster because they are so small.
