Backyard Pizza Lab

‪@wholefoods‬ won the poll for the next store-bought pizza dough test…

…but my store only had ONE dough available.

So, the Classic Pizza Dough had to represent the whole team on the Backyard Pizza Lab leaderboard.

The bake was gorgeous. But was it enough to get it to the top of our leaderboard?

Backyard Pizza Lab has a new badge!

We had a new set of logos designed for the Lab. We’ve seen a ton of growth lately so it felt like the right time to give this whole pizza vibe a little visual upgrade.

Same backyard. Same experiments. Same chaos. Just a cleaner badge for all the madness.

You’ll start seeing this across the channel, applies to custom member badges, fun emojis, thumbnails, and future projects.

What do we think — did the Lab level up?

New video is live on the channel- We tested Ooni's new Rotating Stone for the Koda 2 Max, and man it was a fun one!

I thought everything would be smooth sailing. Boy, was I wrong! 

But by the end of the night we had things figured out, and I got to sit back, relax, and watch my pizzas cook themelves.

Would you rather manually turn your pizzas, or let the oven do all the work?

Wood-fired pizza gets all the hype… but is it actually worth the extra effort?

I finally got my hands on the Ooni Karu 2 Pro, and this was my first real step into the world of wood-fired pizza.

Unboxing, first fire, first bake, and a couple mistakes, but by the end of the night, we were already starting to dial it in.

If you’re already a Karu 2 Pro pro, drop your best tip below.

And if not, are you team wood-fired or team gas? Let me know!

THE RESULTS ARE IN: Trader Joe’s pizza doughs have it all - the good, the bad, and maybe a little of the ugly too...

Now that the Lab is cleaned up, it’s time to head back to another grocery store for Part 2 of what we're calling BYPL's "Store-Bought Dough Trials". I saw your suggestions in the comments, and I’ve narrowed it down to the top contenders.

Which store should I put to the test next? Cast your vote below! 👇

I tested every Trader Joe’s pizza dough I could find and ranked them from best to worst.

One of them was surprisingly solid.
One of them smelled great, but was a big disappointment
And one of them got disqualified.
