Did you know? Oven — pizza temperature is 232°C.

Neapolitan pizza is traditionally baked at 430-480°C, but home ovens typically max out around 230-260°C.

How to Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius

The formula is:

C = (F − 32) × 5/9

Example: 500° Fahrenheit = 260° Celsius

500°F equals 260°C — the maximum or near-maximum temperature of most residential ovens. Used for broiling, flash-roasting, and professional-style pizza.

About these units

Fahrenheit: The degree Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature unit in the US customary system. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 °F and the boiling point is 212 °F — exactly 180 degrees apart. ...

Celsius: The degree Celsius (°C) is the SI-derived unit of temperature. It is defined so that 0 °C = 273.15 K exactly, with the same unit increment as the kelvin.

Frequently Asked Questions
