My regular home oven at 550F plus this steel makes great thin crust pizza.

Although "pizza steel" is a bit of a misnomer, "baking steel" is more accurate. I use it for pizza, baguettes, and ciabatta in the oven and for English muffins, pitas, and tortilla warming on the gas range.

And it was inexpensive. 16 in by 16 in by 1/4 in, and cost about $40, 4-5 years ago. Definitely one of my top two kitchen items -- alongside my carbon steel wok -- for hitting the trifecta of inexpensive, high quality, and versatile.

We bought a cheapo small pizza oven. I'm talking $60 cheap. Using store bought dough, it's pretty good. Silent Type Aug 2024 #2
