14 inches is one big deep dish pizza pan! (I guess this is the "standard" size for Chicago-style pizza, though.) At this size, it's a good thing it's so sturdy. My boyfriend and I make pizza every Sunday for his family and we started out with one of these pans and liked it enough that we got a second one so we can make two types of pizza and have leftovers.

I'm a little worried about damaging the nonstick finish when cutting the pizza. We got a special pizza cutter but still...if you're going to grease your pan and throw a little cornmeal in it, do you really need the nonstick surface?

It does cook evenly, however, we couldn't keep from overcooking the bottom of the crust until we started using a pizza stone under this pan and preheating the oven for at least an hour, then it was perfect!

As a native Chicagoian with 2 years of chicago style deep dish making experience, this has been the best pan I've used. It makes a great deep dish, the crust is evenly cooked through which can be difficult for pizzas this size. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to make a REAL pizza ;)

I want to let people know what an awesome pizza pan this is. The first pizza I ever made in this pan slide out with no effort to get it out and my neighbors confirmed it was the best pizza they have ever had and they loved the crust! I worked in a Greek pizza place when I was growing up and the pizza's that I am making at home are almost as good as what my old boss used to make, thanks largly in part to this pan. Keep in mind though that I make my own dough from scratch and my own sauce using a can of crushed tomatoes so I can't say that if you buy store bought dough or sauce, you will have great results but what I can say is that if you put some good olive oil on the surface of the pan (DO NOT USE NON-STICK SPRAY), preheat your oven with a GOOD QUALITY pizza stone for at least a half hour (I set my oven at 450), you should get a good crust no matter what you use.

I bought 2 of these pans for a pizza party I was throwing. The pans held up great, my crusts turned out perfectly, and clean up was simple. I am totally satisfied with this product, and for the price I would absolutely recommend it!

Of course you can use this pan to make pizza AND whatever else you need. I use it to make cookies and to roast a chicken. The pan is durable. Somewhat big, I store it in my oven when not in use. For the money, it fits my needs.

I've cooked 2 pizza's since I've purchased this item and it has worked excellent. I didn't purchase anything to cut the pizza in the pan. Both times I've used Olive Oil in the pan and the pizza has easily slid right out onto a cutting board.

I own several pieces of Chicago Mettalic Bakeware and all are superior to anything else I have used!...This deep dish pizza pan is GREAT!..its nice and large and especially nice when I am using it for gourmet style pizza's with lots of ingredients...bakes evenly and looks like your pizza just came out of a fine restaurant...your friends will be impressed when you serve a pizza made in this pan!..Great Price Amazon!..thanks!

This pizza pan has proved its worth in providing excellent Chicago style deep dish/stuffed pizza! Moving away from Chicago, we have been yearning for a Chicago style pizza. I found a recipe for the crust and made it with this pan. It turned out far better than anticipated. This pan cooks the crust nice and crisp through to the center. Make sure to read the insert for directions on lowering the cooking temp. and not cutting in the pan.

I looked for this deep dish pizza pan at many stores and could not find one. I really don't like buying things like this without looking at it and feeling the weight of the pan and how its been manufactured. This may seem odd but it helps me determine it I like the product. I was not disappointed when I received the pan. It is heavy enough to take years of cutting pizza and the teflon coating will last for years as well. I will enjoy cooking pizza in this pan for many years to come.
Thanks for a great product Chicago Metallic.

I have been making pizza at home for years. When I needed to replace my old pans I started looking in local stores and bought some but none were any good.
These new pans I bought from Chicago Metallic are excellent. The bottom crust is just right. I hope they last as long as my originals. They are worth every cent.
I bought three. Two for myself and one for one of my children who now makes his own pizza at college.
