I have had the gas version of this pizza over for almost a year. We use it at least once a week for homemade pizza. (took a few weeks to find the right recipe, if anyone is interested I am happy to share it). Trick is to heat the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes before putting in the pizza. You will get a really good crispy undercarriage. and perfectly sizzling pie. We don't use the second compartment much. But its good for eating up pastas, seafood and so on. You can tell its very well made. Ours has been sitting outdoor since day one and has no ruse or any damage.
Watch Vito Iacopelli's videos on pizza on YouTube. I was wondering the same thing. He walks you through pizza making and he is a crust genius as far as I am concerned. I made his recipe earlier this week and it is amazing!!! It takes some time and planning but it is delicious! And use 00 flour. That is double zero flour. Similar to bread flour but it is the stuff they use for the true Italian pizza. It is pricey....but very good!!!!
My opinion is that bread flour yields an easier to work dough. I divide into balls and let them proof on plates, covered with plastic wrap for about 3 hours. I will punch them down flat 1 hr before I plan on making them. The 1 hr rest should help them relax and be easier to work. Still requires practice and figuring out how much hydration in your dough you are comfortable working with. Enjoy.

I find pretty solid results from the dough they sell at Walmart deli for like 2 bucks a pop... let it rest at room temperature for a couple hours then divide in half. These type of ovens the thinner the crust the better the end result
Stay away from this oven. It's not insulated properly, it lets heat escape. Gozney roccbox or ooni or even solo pi oven. Anything but Deco. Don't frustrate yourself with this purchase.
What is the secret to making dough that actually stretches and stays in shape?!
Letting the dough rest. When the dough is worked, it develops the gluten network, but also makes it tense up. Giving the dough time to rest will allow the gluten to relax.
For instance, doughs I have left in the fridge for a few days to cold proof/age take little too no effort to stretch.
Speaking of fuel options, this gas pizza oven doesn't use natural gas, wood pellets, or chips. It is not a multi-fuel pizza oven. If you're looking for a wood-fired pizza oven or wood burning pizza oven, then you should check out the Deco Chef Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven, 2-In-1 Pizza And Grill.
But... if you know how to work with gas, then you need to swap out or drill out the orifice(s), set up the right pressure, and adjust the air fuel mixture.

Dough can't be cold, let it sit room temp for 1 hour. Also, you might need more water than what you're using
I'm usually going to be grilling stuff outdoors vs baking pizza outside.
