A pizza oven hits 900F and space above to create a jet stream which cooks the toppings. You can get by with a regular oven but it wont be like a pizza from a pizza oven
If you don’t have a cast iron pan, you should get one. A basic Lodge does the job as good as any (it’s just a hunk of iron). It’s super easy to use a cast iron pan to make pizza.
If you can afford the space or whatever, and want one, get a pizza stone. I have never used one, so I can’t comment on it. I have used my 12" cast iron to make a lot of pizzas and there are many “cast iron pizza” recipes out there. It’s super easy and it’s one of the very few things that I can say I’ve yet to totally screw up cooking.
Maybe it’s where I live but most people don’t have pizza stoves or pizza ovens at home
Pretty sure you can get by with an oven

Guess what kind of oven you have after you put a pizza in it
Likely still a conventional oven that doesn’t have the temperature or airflow that a pizza oven does.

Really? I was considering a pizza stone for our oven.
