Pizza problems, diagnosed

If the pizza bottom burns while the top is still pale, the heat balance is wrong: the baking surface may be too hot or conductive, the rack may be too low, top heat may be too weak, the dough may brown too fast, or loose flour may be scorching underneath.

A pale pizza crust usually needs more stored heat: fully preheat the stone, steel or pan, verify oven temperature, use a more conductive surface, adjust rack position, and only then investigate the dough formula.
