If you have ever wondered how to get the perfect pizza, wonder no more. Apparently there is an equation for making the perfect pie!
Making pizza is quite a specialty. Pizzaiolis used to line the streets in Italy, everyone claiming they had the best pie. Now, there are schools and classes that teach people how to make the perfect pizza. People get certificates to prove their worth. But a new equation could prove that all you need to make the perfect pizza is good math skills.
How to make the perfect pizza has been argued for decades. From dough fermentation, to the right sauce, to the type of cheese to use, there is so much that goes into making a pizza. Just one wrong element could throw the whole dish off. Thanks to pizza being such a hot (get it?) topic, an equation has been discovered that could change the way the tomato pie is made forever. Italian physicists, Andrey Varlamov and Andreas Glatz, are the team that have come up with the equation that could make everyone’s pizza dreams come true.

The two key components to a perfect pizza are the cooking time and the type of oven you use. Using a brick or wooden oven is crucial, but ultimately it comes down to the thermodynamics. The curved shape provides the environment for a well cooked dough and perfectly browned toppings. To get the tomato pie absolutely perfect, you must cook it for two minutes at 626°F.
Since most of us don’t have a curved brick oven laying around, the researchers modified the cooking time for a regular electric oven. If you cook your pie for 170 seconds at 446°F, you’ll have close to a perfect pizza. Varlamov said “It won’t be the same as a brick oven pizza, but it will still be pretty tasty.”
