ThermiChef 16" Pizza Steel

A pizza steel is the single biggest upgrade you can make to your home oven pizza game. Steel conducts heat roughly 20 times faster than a ceramic stone, which means your crust cooks faster on the bottom while the top gets the right amount of browning. The result is a crispier base with better oven spring—closer to what you'd get from a professional deck oven.

This ThermiChef 16-inch steel is thick enough to hold serious heat and large enough for a standard home pizza. I've been using a steel for years now and I'll never go back to a stone for oven baking. Preheat it for 45-60 minutes on your top rack at max temperature and you'll be stunned at the difference.
