The Best Pizza Stone (Review) in 2020

The lodge is known as of the best worldwide manufacturers of cast iron cookware, and the Pro-Logic 14-inch Cast Iron pizza baking stone justifies the brand’s (overwhelmingly positive) reputation. It’s tough and incredibly durable, exceptional at heat retention, great for oven and grill – basically, it’s perfect for homemade pizza whether you’re a beginner at cooking or a pro.

This is a round pizza stone that is already seasoned for an easy-release finish that only improves with use. It comes with two loop handles, so it’s safe and convenient for transportation from the oven to the countertop. As this is cast iron, the stone is guaranteed to serve you well for decades if you treat it right. Speaking of which, you should wipe it down with a light layer of oil before using, and wash it by hand and dry it promptly after each use.

If you’re looking for an ultra-durable large pizza stone for oven use, the Samuari Steel Baking Sheet by Dough-Joe might be exactly what you need. Made in the USA, from carbon steel that is practically unbreakable, this is the pizza stone to get if you want it to last you a lifetime. Because it’s constructed from steel, it heats quickly and delivers a huge amount of heat to your pizza or bread, helping create a tasty, crispy crust.

Importantly, it’s pre-seasoned so ready to use immediately without much fuss. While easy to use even for beginners, it’s important to note that this baking sheet is really heavy – not surprising since it’s made of top-quality stainless steel. The Samurai baking stone requires an average of 1.5“ on all sides of the oven to adequately cook the ingredients, so keep that in mind before making your final purchasing decision. It shouldn’t be washed frequently as there is no need for that -you can just wipe off the remnants of previous baking before using it.

Made of steel, with a super smooth surface, the NerdChef High-Performance Baking Steel makes a gorgeous, crisp crust every single time with perfectly cooked ingredients on top. This is thanks to its durable construction material, steel, which has an incredibly fast heat transfer, as well as high heat capacity. Basically, it gives the performance of a 100F wood-fired oven in a 450F home oven.

Speaking of the construction material, since it’s solid steel, the pizza stone is pretty much guaranteed to last you forever as it’s unbreakable. The NerdChef’sThick Pro Baking Surface is bead-blasted and sanded smooth, so it creates an equally smooth, crispy crust that’s easy to remove. It’s also pre-seasoned with flaxseed oil, so ready to use right out of the box. It comes with two finger holes for easier handling, which you can also use for hanging the stone on a wall.

A tried and tested baking stone that delivers excellent results every time you bake. The bake is significantly better than you could achieve in a regular oven, grill or BBQ. It has a large cooking surface area but will slot neatly into a standard size oven. The feet on the underside give balance, grip and maneuverability.

The stone features a spiral heating system that heats up quickly and maintains temperatures at the center. Cooking is even – with toppings at the center cooking thoroughly before the edges burn. It is suitable for frozen pizza as well as your homemade versions of this classic Italian dish.

Budget-friendly, efficient and good-looking, the Emile Henry pizza stone with handles is a good option for folks who are only starting their homemade pizza journey. The stone is made of natural materials – clay as the base plus hardened glaze – using the company’s proprietary Flame technology, and it’s scratch-resistant and durable. It’s also incredibly heat-resistant (up to 900F degrees), so it can be used in the oven, on gas, charcoal and wood grills with no issues.

Importantly, the stone also has even heat diffusion and retention, which means two things: it cooks evenly and keeps food hot for longer. Basically, you can’t make a bad pizza with this baking stone! As a huge bonus, the Emile Henry pizza stone is dishwasher safe, so easy to keep clean and neat even with everyday use.

Your summer BBQ no longer has to be limited to burgers and sausages – now you can have authentic Italian pizza cooked to perfection outdoors on your BBQ. This pizza stone is made from Cordierite stone which is great at absorbing moisture from the pizza base. It ensures that you avoid sogginess and you get a light and crispy pizza texture.

It can be used as part of the Gourmet BBQ System and fits perfectly on the cooking grate. It has a handy carry rack which makes it very easy to move on and off the BBQ.

Efficient, great at absorbing and transferring heat, and budget-friendly? Yes, the Honey-Can-Do Rectangular Pizza Stone seems to have it all.

It’s made from a blend of lead-free clays (cordierite), so it’s natural and safe, plus tough and non-cracking.

It’s engineered using the company’s Heat Core technology, which helps cook food evenly, without creating those unfortunate soggy centers that nobody likes. The stone comes with raised edges on the bottom, making it easy to pick up and use. Cleaning is relatively easy too as you can just scrape the remnants after each use, or hand wash the stone with hot water (no detergent!).

Like the previous model, this stone too makes restaurant-quality pizzas and bread thanks to its design and construction material. It’s made from a blend of clays which are, of course, lead-free, so it’s natural and able to absorb huge amounts of heat.

Equally important, it’s also able to quickly and efficiently transfer that heat onto the food, creating a perfectly crisp crust every time. The Honey-Can-Do pizza stone can be used in standard home ovens (up to 500 degrees) and on gas grills.
