What's New in Pizza Nerd

1.5.0

June 3, 2026

• Fixed a water-temperature recommendation bug for long room-temp ferments (Authentic, NY direct, custom 2h+18h+ schedules). Previously suggested water that was too warm, causing some doughs to overproof. • Bumped Room Temp and Ball Proof Temp sliders to 38°C / 100°F for tropical kitchens, summer baking, and shaping environments. • Added a clear warning when room temperature is too high for the selected fermentation schedule (with guidance to switch to cold ferment or a cooler space). • Ball Proof Temp now stays linked to Bulk Temp by default, with a small indicator showing whether it's linked or manually set. • Added 2 new flours: Molino Pasini Verde Tipo 00 and Molino Pasini Ideale per Pizza Tipo 0 (both AVPN-grade Italian milling).

Great App!

This app has a very diverse library of pizza styles and variations. It has variables for flour, water, oven, types of mixers and more!

My old pizza

My old pizza app got discontinued so had to find something new. Landed on Pizza Nerd and honestly it fills a gap I didn't know needed filling.

The dough planning is what makes it different. You pick same day or overnight and it works backwards from there. As someone still figuring things out, that kind of guidance is huge. But there's enough depth that I can see experienced folks getting a lot out of it too.

Other apps just throw a recipe at you. This one actually helps you plan around your schedule, which is half the battle when you're making pizza from scratch.

Still early days for the app but already my go-to. Worth downloading if you're even a little bit into homemade pizza.
