The baking steel took my at-home pizzas from a 5/10 to a 10/10. It took me one use to learn how I like it preheated and positioned in my oven, and now I consider it the best purchase I've made all year. I'm never going back to making pizza without it.

I make pizza every week and with a baking steel they always turn out great! Evenly cooked and crispy in no time at all. I even used it on the grill. It cleans up easily and stores in my oven. Thank you BakingSteel.com for a wonderful product!

I am in love with this baking steel! I purchased it to help scale my microbakery so that I'm able to bake more loaves of sourdough breads at once and this has been perfect for me. I'm able to bake 3 ~650 - 700 gram batard loaves at once, saving me hours on bake day. I have a double oven, so I will be purchasing another one soon!

First time pizza maker and decided to purchase the baking steel plus! Super successful on even the first run. The steel got nice and hot in my electric oven. I set oven temp to 550F, but the oven temp got to only 500F. The pizza still came out great. Took about 4 min total for my 10” pizzas. I already got my family hooked on pizzas too and they’re planning on getting one!

I love this product, and the costumer service is just as good. I had a problem with the condition of the product and they went above and beyond to correct it. They stand behind their product and DO concern themselves with the costumer experience.

I’d never heard of you until I bought the cookbook Pizza Night and your pizza steel was part of a length list of recommended items. I went back and forth about getting it because it is SOOOO EXPENSIVE. A few weeks went by and I decided that I really wanted to make the pizzas and getting a professional, crisp crust would be key. I hadn’t been able to achieve that with a pizza stone so I took the plunge and bought your Original Pizza Steel. It’s fantastic and absolutely a MUST HAVE item. I’ve made...

I bought the baking steel to open bake sourdough for my microbakery business. It has changed the game for me completely! I went from baking two loaves at a time in my dutch ovens in 50 minutes with 45 minutes between batches for the dutch ovens to build temp and steam back... to baking 4 loaves at a time for 35 minutes with no waiting between batches. I was able to get all of my baking done for the farmers market in just a few hours (24 loaves)! The loaves are all uniform and the crust is perfec...

I love this! Is it possible to get a 10% discount code for my followers? I will be posting my full recipe once I perfect it, with some better angles and videos. Would code “cheeky” work?

The pizza steel worked exactly as advertised and makes it easy to make great pizzas in 8-9 minutes after preheating oven for 45 mins. I found that the premade dough from whole foods 365 works much better than the dough from Trader Joes. Have made 7 pizzas so far and all came out great. As recommended by other reviewers, you need two pizza peels - one made of wood to make pizza on and put in oven, and a steel one to take pizza out.

Love the new baking steel! I’m able to make lots of oven goodies in a fraction on the time! 🎉 It is very easy to clean and after a few uses it’s already starting to look well seasoned.

Grandma pizza with the steel (its inaugural use) cannot be compared to the same exact pizza/pan/recipe without it. It was sublime with a fantastic light, crispy, and deeply browned crust. We can’t wait to try other pizza styles. We actually had to talk each other out of making another kind of pizza right after we had our Grandma pizza and its leftovers over the course of several days. Super happy with the steel and looking forward to using it for all kinds of pizzas and baking!

The baking steel works great! My kids who love pizza, want to bake it at home because it taste better than all the usual pizza places we would order from. It's a big leap up from our old pizza stone, it makes the dough so much better. And you can use your own high quality ingredients of course, with no extra charge for additional toppings! No more greasy soybean/vegetable oil soaked pizzas for us!

We love our Pizza Steel. This was my first try with personal pizzas. The steel made the crust crispy yet soft! Super fast cooking time. We couldn’t be happier. Looking forward to more pizzas and family nights.thank you

It’s everything they said, and more. So far, I’ve made the Italian bread and a pizza, and could not be more pleased with the results. Way better than a pizza stone! Oh, and the recipes on the website are legit - thank you for the English muffin recipe. The baking steel worked great for those on my induction stove top.

This has to be the smartest way to bake sourdough bread!! I am so glad I purchased the 16x20” steel.!!! My bread never turned out so well as on the baking steel verses in a Dutch oven. Not to mention the versatility!! Pizza is next!!!

I run a small micro bakery from my home. I use the baking steel to open bake my sourdough bread. It has changed the game! I can now bake 4 at once in my home oven. The bottoms never burn and it heats up quickly. I haven’t tried pizza on it yet, but I’m sure it will perform beautifully.

Obsessed with my baking steel!! It’s been amazing for my new micro bakery in my home kitchen. I can make 4 at a time! Sourdough bread opens up so beautiful on this steel. Love it!! Also been using for family pizza night! So good!

My first experience with the steel was a huge success! I’ve been making pizza dough for about a year and baking pizza on my charcoal grill utilizing a stone. My pizza turned out pretty good but it was difficult to get the crust just right. As you can see, the finished product was so much better utilizing the steel in my oven. I’m looking forward to making baguettes from scratch and baking them on the steel. Awesome product and couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

When I received my Baking Steel, the box looked like a truck ran it over (and over). There was some slight damage to the steel, whether from the shipping or some other reason. Trying out baking on it for the first time tonight.

Love these steels! I’ve had the Modern for maybe a year(?) which made my pizza life. But bought a second for a variety of reasons including the ease of strategic location for pizza and bread. Definitely does the job far better than alternatives I’ve tried!

Gifted this to big bro for Christmas. The Baking Steel team was super responsive and so helpful getting it delivered in time! I'm pleased to report Chip @bakerpizzeria is cranking out PRO pizzas with this upgrade.

Love the new thicker Baking Steel Pro. I’m upgrading from one of the original baking steels and love the way this new one retains its heat. Making New York style pizzas has become my new obsession and having both steels in the oven really lets me crank out the pizzas.

I wanted outdoor pizza oven but not the storage so this works great. Store the firebricks on shelf under Weber and steel on top of grates. Took 45 minutes to heat to 750 using infrared gun and 7 minutes to cook with another 2 minutes on top of steel. Used parchment paper to reduce sticking and turned off middle burner when put pizza on grill to avoid fire. Used Baking Steel 3 day dough recipe. Made for Super Bowl : Grilled chicken Caesar and magherita and mushroom and pesto and sausage pizzas. ...

This pizza steel is an entire game changer! I can now make my own pizzeria style pizza in less than 10 minutes and it tastes as good as any other pizza out there! I absolutely LOVE my pizza steel and highly recommend to all the pizza lovers of the world!

The baking steel has completely exceeded my expectations! I have a 24x48" Stainless Wood Fired Pizza Oven and even with nice weather I have opted to cook pizzas the past two weeks in my home oven on the Baking Steel at 550 Degrees. I can't stop talking about it with friends and co-workers because it is a game changer! Dont wait, make the purchase!

I have been making pizza at home for years, but was never completely happy with the results. I finally decided to try the steel. Now make the most amazing and beautiful pizza! Follow the directions and your pizza will be better than anything you can get in a restaurant! Thank you for this incredible product😊

Andrew P.

An absolute must-have if you wanna make great pizzas at home! I’ve only made one on the steel so far but it was my best pizza ever, after years of trying other methods. The reason being is the heat that comes from the steel. I was able to achieve some leopard print on the bottom of pizza and it had such a satisfying crunch and chew. Can’t wait to make more and continue my pizza journey. Total game changer for me.

Baking steel has taken my sourdough baking to a new level! It truly is supreme and well worth the investment. It took a bit of tweaking my own recipe with this new way of baking, but I'm hooked now! Requires less baking time over all, better oven spring, crisper crust, etc. I'm also loving pizza on here. Cuts the baking time to a fraction of what it takes on a normal baking pan. Don't hesitate to just purchase it. You won't regret it!

I was going to make do with a steel that might fit an Anova oven. That was until I found Baking Steel. It was a perfect fit for the oven...Love the results I get on bread... Thanks for making such a quality product. Experience has taught me, don't buy a bargain steel unless you enjoy removing rust from a flimsy piece of low quality steel...

Baking steel pro changes the dynamics for home oven pizza! The 16x16 size lets me make bigger NY style pies! The pics are from my first pie with this baking steel. It’s the best I’ve ever made!

After researching pizza stones I decided to order the baking steel company. What led me to this; I was using a pizza stone that got used so much it would smoke. Looking up solutions to that I found out about the pizza steel. It is fabulous. The pizza gets nice and crispy on the bottom (no more soggy middle either). Cooks fast and cleans up nice. An aside; helpful recipes on the Baking Steel site. Aside from that; I said to my husband I'm going to order a pizza steel. Our son works for a steel c...

I bought the baking steel specifically for making pizzas in my home oven, and I’m happy to say the results have been exactly what I hoped for! My crust comes out beautifully every time as long as I give it time to preheat thoroughly.

This peel is almost too pretty to use! I love how I can easily slide two loves onto my hot baking steel. I was a tad worried it would be too heavy with two loaves on a big piece of wood but it was balanced and a breeze to lift and give the board a little thrust motion and voila! two loaves slide off like silk. It’s so beautiful to display the finished product on, also. I’m NOT going to cut my bread on it though. My old cutting boards can take the knife scars. This beauty stays knife cuts free!

I've been baking pizza on a pizza stone for many years. My stone cracked in two so I needed to replace it. After reading reviews , I decided to try steel. My first pizza came out better than any of the pizzas I made on stone. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you!

We absolutely loved the dough recipe and the pizza off the steel!! We have enjoyed pizza twice so far and I made some of your freezer dough recipe and it is ready for more. We don’t know how we can ever order takeout pizza again!!

This is the BEST thing to cook pizza on! I am an east coaster living in the west coast and I can finally make pizza like I am used to. The crust comes out nice and crispy and not soggy in the middle. My husband tells me he does not like going out to pizza anymore because we can just make it at home. My kids love it too!

Gina D.

We use the two pizza steel method. The pizza turns out as good as it does in our outdoor pizza oven! I would highly recommend! I use about 65% hydration dough and do a cold ferment between one and three days. I have used the dough the same day and it still came out awesome. I just think the taste is a better if you let it ferment in the refrigerator. I've been recommending it to everyone I know!

Hey guys, I love this Steel. I actually bought a $700 pizza oven that was like trying to cook in hell, it was nearly impossible To cook without burning. I returned it and bought the $110 Steel. Once I got the pizza steel and put it in a 500° oven, everything was better. I followed the instructions and I use during cooking. Perfect. If you have trouble with your wrists or elbows, be careful because this thing is super heavy.
