On Hacker News

HN commenters recommend it as a practical, home-bakable sourdough pizza method that gets close to stone-oven quality.

This is the best video on making neapolitan style at home with an cast iron pan and oven: [VIDEO] I've used this method a few times to superb results.

No love for iron skillets? I've had some pretty good results cooking pizzas in a home settings with it. It sounds weird but it gets decently close the the quality of a stone oven, something to do with the heat conductivity of cast iron: [VIDEO] You cook it on the hob for a few minutes to cook the bottom, constantly shuffling the skillet round to get that random charring, then a few more minutes in a pre-heated oven as close to the broiler as possible. Great for deep dish pizza as well, if you're into that.

For a practical, home-bakable, sourdough recipe I can vouch for: [VIDEO] Top comment: "There is more drama in this video than in the entire Transformers franchise."
