Pizza Creation System

The Pizza Creation System provides specialized tools for creating and customizing virtual pizzas in TomatoPy.

Basic Pizza Creation

Creating a Basic Pizza

from tomatopy import Pizza, PizzaDough, PizzaSauce

# Create pizza components
dough = PizzaDough(
    thickness="medium",
    size="12inch",
    style="neapolitan"
)

sauce = PizzaSauce(
    base="tomato",
    consistency="smooth",
    seasoning_level="medium"
)

# Create a pizza
pizza = Pizza(
    dough=dough,
    sauce=sauce,
    size="12inch",
    style="neapolitan"
)

Adding Toppings

from tomatopy import Topping

# Create toppings
mozzarella = Topping(
    name="mozzarella",
    amount=200,  # grams
    distribution="even"
)

basil = Topping(
    name="basil",
    amount=10,  # leaves
    distribution="scattered"
)

# Add toppings to pizza
pizza.add_topping(mozzarella)
pizza.add_topping(basil)

Advanced Pizza Customization

Dough Customization

# Create custom dough
custom_dough = PizzaDough(
    thickness="thin",
    size="14inch",
    style="new_york",
    hydration=0.65,  # 65% hydration
    fermentation_time="24h",
    flour_type="00",
    salt_content=0.02  # 2% salt
)

Sauce Customization

# Create custom sauce
custom_sauce = PizzaSauce(
    base="tomato",
    consistency="chunky",
    seasoning_level="high",
    herbs=["basil", "oregano"],
    garlic_content=0.05,  # 5% garlic
    sugar_content=0.02    # 2% sugar
)

Pizza Baking

Basic Baking

from tomatopy import PizzaOven

# Set up pizza oven
oven = PizzaOven(
    temperature=450,  # Celsius
    heat_source="wood",
    humidity=0.65
)

# Bake pizza
baked_pizza = oven.bake(
    pizza,
    duration="2m",
    rotation_frequency="30s"
)

Advanced Baking Techniques

# Configure advanced baking
baked_pizza = oven.bake(
    pizza,
    duration="2m",
    rotation_frequency="30s",
    heat_zones={
        "center": 450,
        "edges": 480,
        "top": 460
    },
    steam_injection=True,
    crust_development="high"
)

Quality Control

Pizza Analysis

# Analyze pizza quality
analysis = pizza.analyze()
print(f"Crust crispness: {analysis.crust_crispness}")
print(f"Cheese melt: {analysis.cheese_melt}")
print(f"Topping distribution: {analysis.topping_distribution}")

Quality Metrics

# Get detailed quality metrics
metrics = pizza.get_quality_metrics()
print(f"Overall score: {metrics.overall_score}")
print(f"Balance score: {metrics.balance_score}")
print(f"Texture score: {metrics.texture_score}")

Special Pizza Types

Neapolitan Pizza

# Create authentic Neapolitan pizza
neapolitan = Pizza.create_neapolitan(
    size="12inch",
    toppings=["san_marzano_tomatoes", "mozzarella", "basil"]
)

New York Style

# Create New York style pizza
ny_style = Pizza.create_ny_style(
    size="18inch",
    thickness="thin",
    toppings=["tomato_sauce", "mozzarella", "pepperoni"]
)

Chicago Deep Dish

# Create Chicago deep dish
chicago = Pizza.create_chicago_style(
    size="10inch",
    thickness="deep",
    toppings=["tomato_sauce", "mozzarella", "sausage"]
)

Pizza Cutting

Standard Cutting

# Cut pizza into slices
slices = pizza.cut(
    method="standard",
    slices=8,
    slice_size="equal"
)

Custom Cutting

# Custom pizza cutting
slices = pizza.cut(
    method="custom",
    slice_sizes=["large", "medium", "small"],
    pattern="radial"
)

Error Handling

try:
    # Attempt invalid topping
    pizza.add_topping("invalid_topping")
except ToppingError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")  # "Invalid topping type"

try:
    # Attempt invalid baking temperature
    oven.set_temperature(1000)  # Too hot!
except TemperatureError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")  # "Temperature exceeds safe range"

Best Practices

1. Proper Dough Preparation

   # Ensure proper dough fermentation
   if dough.fermentation_time < "24h":
       print("Warning: Dough may not be fully fermented")

2. Topping Distribution

   # Check topping distribution
   if pizza.get_topping_distribution() < 0.8:
       print("Warning: Toppings may not be evenly distributed")

3. Temperature Control

   # Monitor oven temperature
   with oven.temperature_monitor() as monitor:
       pizza = oven.bake(...)
       if monitor.get_max() > 500:
           print("Warning: Oven temperature too high")
