Stress Testing the Kitchen, 12 pizzas cooked for Construction Party

I've been practicing with my pizza oven and have cooked quite a few pizzas for data center friends with four pizzas cooked at the most.  Last night we had a party for our construction party.

With all these people, 1/2 of the people there are in the picture below.  We needed to cook more than 4 pizzas.  12 is what we cooked, but I had enough dough for 15.

Here is a view of the kitchen after finished cooking the dozen pizzas.

Luckily I had help cooking the dozen pizzas.  I can cook a pizza in 6 minutes, rotating the pizza after 3 minutes, then load another pizza, cooking 2 pizzas at the same time.  I needed some help preparing, cutting, and serving the pizzas while I focused on cooking.  Margaret and Maddy were our hired help, and are part of the kids swim group.

Now that  I cooked 12 pizzas, I'll see if I can cook 20 pizzas.  In theory I could cook the 20 pizzas in an hour, but find about 10 an hour a good enough pace.  I never thought I would say I feel comfortable cooking 10 pizzas an hour at home.  Tonight is an easy night, I just have three pizza doughs for cooking.
