Know before you buy
The perforations allow steam to escape during the baking process, which prevents the bottom of the crust from becoming soggy. This design promotes better air circulation, resulting in a consistently crisp texture for deep-dish and Sicilian-style pizzas.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the aluminum and the finish, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water.
No, this pan is not broiler safe. It is designed for standard oven baking, and exposing it to direct broiler heat may damage the material.
This pan is specifically engineered for deep-dish and Sicilian-style pizzas. Its 2-inch depth provides ample room for thick crusts, generous layers of cheese, and hearty toppings without spilling over.
While durable, aluminum pans perform best when hand-washed and dried thoroughly after use. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or degrade the surface over time.
