If you really want to bring out the flavors of the veggie toppings, consider sauteing or caramelizing them first. You can do this easily in a cast iron skillet right in your wood-fired oven while it's heating up.
Just recently I had some friends over for pizza, and usually I'm working so hard by the oven, I don't get much of a chance to visit, and that's not much fun.
This time I pre-baked three pizzas until they were about three quarters done, and I simply left them on paper plates. When my guests arrived a half hour later, I slid them off the paper plates right into the oven to let them finish baking.
I didn't feel like I had to get right to work, but rather, I was able to visit and leisurely bake more pizzas.
So, were the pre-baked pizzas good? Yes they were.
