I had forgotten to tell you about a relatively new development that might be a better alternative to the traditional pizza stone.
Some years ago some home pizza enthusiasts were looking for an alternative to the traditional stone in the domestic lower temperature oven environment and found that thick stainless steel was superior. This was particularly true for New York style (which is the US closest equivalent to Neapolitan) but it also improved Neapolitan as well. This has now become a commercially available product and if I were restricted to domestic oven temperatures this would be what I'd look at. Google pizza stainless steel.
Look at the "crumb" on this Neapolitan style .... something I'd say nearly impossible on traditional stone at less than 900f'ish.
