### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-06-06*

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

### 5/5 — My old pizza

*2026-06-06*

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.

### 5/5 — Pizza Pizza!! Awesome app

*2026-06-06*

This is the most comprehensive pizza making app I have found in the App Store and we based. It covers everything you need to know. Perfect for the beginner and great for someone who regularly makes pizza but wants to try something else or change the timeline of their fermentation! Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Kudos and Thank you.

*2026-05-25*

What a great and user friendly app for us pizza scruffs!! I look forward to playing with the app and dialing in my recipe!!

**Developer response:** Why thank you very much.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-06-03

• 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).

### 1.4.7 — 2026-05-23

v1.4.7

- Auto-fix for "stuck on Focaccia after upgrade" bug. No reinstall needed.
- Focaccia & all pan styles: editable Dough per Pan field.
- Focaccia weight math corrected to industry-standard 5-7g per sq in.

Thanks for using Pizza Nerd!
