Doughsasters happen. We know. Follow this prescription and it will all be DoughK.
The most common forms of an uneven cook is the pizza top is undercooked while the bottom is just right, or vice versa. The easiest way to fix this is to raise or lower your baking surface in the oven. DO NOT DO THIS WHILE THE OVEN IS ON!!! Even with super heat/oven/grill/fire proof gloves, this is a very bad idea.
If your pizza top is undercooked and bottom overcooked, try moving your oven rack up, towards the top of the oven. One single rung, about 3 inches, can make all the difference.
Conversely, if your pizza is cooking too fast on top while the bottom is undercooked, try moving the cooking surface down, towards the bottom of the oven.
The reason this works is that most ovens heat from the bottom. Even in “pizza” mode or with convection, a move higher or lower can have a great effect. Some ovens allow for separate control of the top and bottom heating elements (beyond broil or bake). Increasing or decreasing one or both of these will also allow you to get the best cook on your pizza for your oven.
