About this app

8Bit.Pizza is a pizza dough calculator I built because I love pizza and retro games, and I wanted something that fits how I bake at home.

Pick a pizza style, set your balls and ball weight, adjust hydration, salt, yeast, oil and sugar, and the app works out the grams for you straight away. You also get a mix-to-bake plan so you can see when to mix, bulk, ball, proof and bake. I wanted a proper Mix Now – Eat Later calculator for ages, and this is it!

40+ PIZZA STYLES
• Neapolitan, New York, Detroit, Roman, Sicilian, Chicago, same-day dough, cold ferment, biga builds, pan pizza, al taglio, and plenty more

• Tweak anything you like and watch the grams update live
• Style guides with oven notes and mixing methods

ABOUT ME
I'm Scott. This started as a small project for me, maybe friends and family, and grew into a dough calculator packed with pizza styles, oven guides, mixing methods, a flour database, timelines and enough tiny details to worry a normal person. Don't get me started on the Doughjo. If it helps you make better pizza, that honestly makes me very happy.

Thanks for trying 8Bit.Pizza. Choose your skill mode, pick a style, and happy mixing.
