The Pizza Baking Stone that Changes the Game!
Every pizza maker knows that the biggest difference between the pizza that you buy from your local pizzeria and the pizza you make at home is the oven that the pizza oven is cooked in. Some ovens are conveyors or steel, but in my many years of making and reviewing pizza, there is no substitute for brick oven pizza. This Pizzacraft Baking stone brings the most important element of a commercial pizzeria oven to your home kitchen - the brick. I have owned and used numerous pizza ovens, pizza stones, and even a pizza baking steel in my day, and I have to say this is the best value stone on the market and I'll tell you why!
Size

Heat Retention
The key to a great pizza stone is its ability to retain heat, and this stone does a great job of it because it is so thick. Most value stones are 1/4" to 1/2" thick which is really not thick enough to hold heat and transfer it to the cold dough. Have you ever tried to make 2 fresh dough pizzas back to back on a thin pizza stone? If you have, you've probably noticed that the crust of the second one is white and doughy. Although I like to allow for a 5 minute recovery time on this stone between pizzas for best results, that is considerably shorter than reheating for up to 20 minutes with thinner stones.
Versatility

Easy Cleanup
It is recommended that you don't ever wash the stone - it doesn't get easier than that! If cheese or anything else gets stuck to the stone, just let it burn off and scrape it into the garbage. As time goes on, the stone becomes seasoned and naturally non-stick just like a cast iron skillet. Leave the soap, water, and elbow grease for the pots and pans because you won't need any of that to maintain this stone!

Conclusion
At a price point less than $30 including shipping, I would consider this stone an extreme value considering many entry-level inferior stones are priced between $15 and $25 and don't provide nearly the same performance or results. Are there thicker, more expensive stones and pizza oven conversion kits out there? Yes, but you will find them at 2x, 3x, and 5x+ the price. Some are so expensive that you might consider buying your own pizza oven! Dollar for dollar, this is the best pizza stone I have ever used and I don't hesitate in recommending this to my readers! If you have one or decide to pick one up, please let me know what your thoughts are and be sure to send in some of those homemade pizza pics by hitting me up on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter!
