EVERYONE BUILDS THEIR OWN. YOU JUST BAKE. Start a pizza party, share the code, and every guest builds their own pie from their own phone. You get a live queue in the order it arrived, so you always know what to stretch next and whose pizza is in the oven. No accounts for your guests. No shouting across the kitchen. No forgotten orders. PIZZA PARTY • Guests join by QR code or link, with no sign-up at all • Each one picks their own toppings on their own phone • A live baking queue, in order, on your screen • You choose what is available before anyone starts THE LAB — WHERE THE DOUGH GETS SERIOUS Tell PizzaDrop how many balls you want, how long you have, and how warm your kitchen is. It gives you flour, water, salt and yeast to the gram — including the yeast, which is where almost every dough calculator quietly guesses. The fermentation model reads from a 61-temperature reference chart built on published yeast-growth research, so a 48-hour cold ferment at 39°F gets a genuinely different answer from 24 hours at 68°F. Not a rule of thumb. The actual curve. • Balls, ball weight, hydration and salt — every number adjustable • Poolish and biga preferments, with the split worked out for you • Fresh, active dry and instant yeast, converted properly • Cold ferment or room temperature, in °C or °F • Save your setups and come back to them RECIPES FROM THE CREATORS YOU ALREADY WATCH A live feed of new videos from the best pizza channels, plus their recipes written out properly: ingredients with baker's percentages, method in steps, equipment listed. Tap "Load in the Lab" and any recipe becomes your starting point, scaled to your batch. TURN A VIDEO INTO A RECIPE Paste a video and PizzaDrop writes the recipe: ingredients, quantities, method, and a Lab preset ready to load. Three free, then included with Premium. WHAT IS FREE, AND WHAT IS NOT Pizza Party, the Lab, the recipes and the feed are all free. Premium adds unlimited saved setups, PDF export for your doughs and recipes, and 20 AI recipes a month. PizzaDrop is an independent app. The creators whose videos appear here do not sponsor or endorse it, and recipes adapted from their videos are our own interpretation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PizzApp+ at none against PizzaDrop's 2. PizzApp+ also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). PizzaDrop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
