What customers say

The glazed surface is a major benefit, making cleanup remarkably easy compared to traditional stones. Users appreciate the stone's thermal shock resistance, suggesting excellent durability for frequent use.

Know before you buy
No, the glazed surface is non-porous and does not require seasoning. It is ready to use right out of the box and will not absorb oils or odors over time.
While the ceramic is durable, using a knife directly on the glazed surface can cause scratches or dull your blade. We recommend sliding the pizza onto a cutting board before slicing.
The glazed finish makes cleanup straightforward. Once the stone has cooled completely, you can wash it with warm water and a mild soap; it is also dishwasher safe.
Yes, for the best results, place the stone in a cold oven and let it heat up as the oven reaches your target temperature. This ensures the stone is hot enough to create a crisp crust the moment the dough touches the surface.
This stone is specifically designed for oven use. We do not recommend using it on a grill, as direct flames or uneven heat sources can cause thermal shock and potentially crack the ceramic.
