Forget the stone, its just a fancy folderol.

Cook your pizza on a thin metal tray (such as a cookie tray; or a
roasting tin turned upside down).

Preheat the oven, arrange pizza on cold tray, place tray on shelf in
oven.

Also you might use an oven thermometer to check your oven's
temperature thermostat matches the dial settings ( all of them) Older
ovens sometimes get a bit out of sync.

If the oven temps don't match dial settings, allow for the difference
when you set the dial. Or fit a new thermostat.
