## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3/8" is THICK and HEAVY
*by S***M on March 23, 2025*

Wanted to get a pizza steel, and everything online said thicker is better, it'll hold more heat etc etc, so I bought the 3/8" plate. First of all, it does what it says - expect pizza and flatbreads to puff up nicely and really crisp up the crust. I really enjoy doing fresh pita in the morning on this thing. It's exactly what it says it is.Now for the downsides (none of which are the fault of the product itself).1.) It takes a while to preheat. Easily 30 minutes or more for it to actually come to temp in the oven. If you're hitting it with an infrared thermometer, it might seem like it's up to temp, but in reality, you're getting the reflected heat from the top of the oven - remember, infrared is light radiation, so it can bounce. To get an accurate reading, use a pan or other object to "shade" the top of the pizza steel when you point your IR thermometer on it.2.) It's heavy. Like annoyingly heavy, you have to be very careful moving it around in a domestic kitchen, as it's liable to destroy anything you drop it on.In conclusion, great product that's exactly what it says, and good price. But I'm planning to relegate my 3/8" steel as a welding fixture plate and find something a little thinner for bread use - I don't thing anyone's disappointed with the 3/16" plates.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes great pizza
*by M***K on April 22, 2025*

This thing is incredible; it makes phenomenal pizza. Just be sure to preheat it and you'll be fine. Caution: it's super heavy, but a great investment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heats Up Fast For Piazza and Works Great for Searing On Grill
*by A***N on December 28, 2024*

This pizza steel plate is a major upgrade from a regular pizza stone. It gets way hotter, which makes for a crispier pizza crust in less time. I’ve also been using it on the grill to sear meats, and it works amazingly for that too. It holds heat really well and gives a nice sear without drying things out. It’s made in the USA, solidly built, and versatile enough for both pizza and grilling. If you're looking to level up your cooking, this is definitely worth checking out.
