About PizzaLovers
Who is behind PizzaLovers, where the knowledge comes from and how the site is funded. Plus why we always start from a home kitchen and an ordinary oven.
PizzaLovers.se is for anyone who wants to bake really good Neapolitan pizza at home – in an ordinary home oven, with ingredients you can actually buy and without having to guess. The site is run by Björn Mineur, who also runs BBQLovers.se, a Swedish barbecue site.
Where the knowledge comes from
The foundation is the house method from BBQLovers’ guide Napolitansk pizza – en guide (in Swedish): flour, water, salt and yeast, a long cold fermentation and no oil in the dough. Here it has been given numbers, a calculator that works out the yeast for you and guides to every step.
We keep four kinds of knowledge apart and always say which one you are reading:
- AVPN rules – what the official Neapolitan standard actually says.
- Established baking science – how flour, yeast and heat work.
- The house method – how we prefer to do it ourselves, even where it differs from AVPN.
- Our own test results – only when a test has actually been done and reported.
Tests
Under Tested we publish the plan for each test before it is done, and the results once they exist. How we go about it is described in How we test.
How the site is funded
The site is funded by advertising and may include affiliate links in the future. That never affects what we recommend – read more in our affiliate policy.
