## What is PizzaLab?

PizzaLab is the scientific pizza dough calculator every pizza maker should have. Enter your parameters and get the calculated ingredients, the recommended water temperature and a detailed step-by-step method, with leavening timers built in.

PIZZA STYLES
• Pizza Napoletana Verace (AVPN 2024 specification)
• Pizza Contemporanea (contemporary Neapolitan)
• Pizza in Teglia (pan pizza, APITER specification)
• Pizza Pala Romana (APITER specification)
• Schiacciata Toscana
• Pizza Fritta Napoletana (fried, AVPN specification)
• Casatiello Napoletano, calculated from your ring pan size

CALCULATION
• Guided 4-step wizard
• Direct method, indirect with biga, indirect with poolish (yeast from the Giorilli table)
• Room-temperature fermentation or fridge + room temperature
• Mixer type with automatic temperature delta (by hand, fork, spiral, planetary)
• Fresh or dry yeast
• Compliance indicators for the official specifications
• Metric and imperial units

LEAVENING TIMERS
• At the end of each phase the timer stops and waits for your confirmation before starting the next one, with a reminder if you forget
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Pause, Resume and Start next phase buttons
• Alarm at phase end (iOS 26.1 or later): rings like a system alarm even on silent or in a Focus mode
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Start the next phase in PizzaLab", "Pause the PizzaLab timer", "How long is left in PizzaLab"
• Notifications with a 10-minute heads-up before the end of each phase

PLAN YOUR BAKE
• Pick the date and time you want to bake: the app works backwards to tell you when to mix, refrigerate and divide, including rests and folds
• Reminders 15 minutes before and at the time to start

METHOD AND RECIPES
• Detailed method with interactive checkboxes; the screen stays on while you follow it
• Save your own recipes
• PDF export and share as text
• Flour guide and glossary of technical terms

LANGUAGES AND ACCESSIBILITY
• English and Italian: the Neapolitan technical terms are kept in Italian with a plain explanation, e.g. "puntata (bulk fermentation)"
• VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion

CALCULATIONS
• Yeast formula based on temperature, time and hydration, with equivalent hours for cold fermentation
• Water temperature from room, flour and mixer temperatures
• Parameters aligned with the AVPN 2024 and APITER specifications

Coming from version 1.x? Timers no longer move to the next phase on their own: when a phase ends they ask you to confirm, so the timing follows what you actually do.

PizzaLab works fully offline, with no account, no ads and no data collection.
