The Best Pizza Stones & Pizza Steels For Restaurant-Quality Crust At Home

Making pizzas at home is a fun alternative to takeout and an easy way to get dinner on the table, but it can be tricky to get that just-right texture for crust. That’s where the best pizza stones and pizza steels come in. These kitchen tools help you achieve crispy, crunchy crust, with no extra effort on your end.

A pizza stone is slab made of ceramic while a pizza steel is (go figure) made from steel. Both options are heat conducting tools that are preheated to allow your crust to start cooking and crisping up immediately (anyone who has dealt with burned cheese on top and doughy crust on bottom will understand why this is necessary tool for a home oven). Generally a pizza steel will conduct heat faster than a stone, allowing you to crank out perfectly crisp pies at a speedy rate.

The choice of which to choose ultimately depends on things like how fast you like your pizza to be ready, how often you make pizza, and your budget. If you tend to make pizzas occasionally, a less expensive pizza stone is probably your best bet. If you crank out pizzas on a regular basis, you might want to splurge on a pizza steel. Ready to make next-level pizza crust? Try one of these options.
