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.

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