like it won't get hot?
your regulator might be broken...that's the only thing I can think of. I haven't cooked with a gas oven in so long.
it won't get hot, that's right.
thank you james!

Maybe the 'ignitor' is broken. When you turn on the oven do you usually hear a click, click sound (Igniting the gas?)
Gas stoves are scary to me. I would definitely call the gas company or the manufacterer of the stove. Be careful, Luv.

ugh, yeah d, i agree with trudes. this happened to us, too. if you're (obviously) not out of gas, then the ignitor is probably broken. $200 for us to get it fixed ... *sigh* i'll keep my fingers crossed yours will start working soon. ours would stop, and then start again, and then stop, and then start again for about a year before it finally just stopped

how old is the stove? Could be the igniter , could be the thermostat.
I agree with the above, don't mess with the gas!
It could also be Gremlins! So good luck.
thanks trudes and jane.
im hoping it will just decide to work again. im gonna try to cook the pizza in a frying pan! wish me luck!
