Default pizza problem

I was given a electric deck pizza oven. The thing kind of sucks. Is there any way of making a decent pizza from this? Or is it a lost cause?
Im taking about thin crust pizza. Any imput appreciated.

Is it your dough, crust, toppings? You said crust. Im thinking its not browning enough. Try spraying or brushing it with an oil and maybe cornmeal the bottom Question: Why don't you use your oven and a pizza stone?

Default Best Pizza

Hi... one of the best pizza's I ever had (in San Jose, CA) was made in a VERY HOT oven with lots of olive oil on the pan... you may want to try that. If that does not work... USE A PIZZA STONE....

Default Honey

If browning is your problem add a little honey, sugar, malt syrup or molasses to your dough. May want to up the yeast a bit, although the sugar will act as a catalyst for the yeast. The more air in the crust the faster convection process the crustier the crust. Also what is your hydration ratio in your dough
water/flour. Thin crust will want to be a bit drier. Also you can alway line an oven with firebrick. what exactly is your oven type. I alway thought a deck to be lined with stone any way. Are you using pans or screens.

Peace,
DF
