We purchased this stone to use with our Breville toaster over. It is a perfect fit and it works much better than the pizza pan that comes with the unit. This is not a knock on the pizza pan, but a stone is able to pull the extra moisture out of whatever is being baked on it.

This comes to my next comment -- do not manually season the pizza stone (such as with olive oil, etc). Doing so seals up the pores of the stone and prevents it from doing what it is supposed to do: suck out moisture. If you do that, your pizza crust will not be a crisp as expected.

Over time the pizza stone will naturally season itself. However, the best way to use this is to sprinkle some flour on the pizza stone before using (like the way pizza parlors do).

When we use this pizza stone, we put it in the oven to preheat along with the oven. Once the desired temperature is achieved, we then place the pizza (frozen or fresh) on it while the stone is still in the oven.

Does what I needed it to do, which is to fit my Breville oven. Surprisingly you can cook much more on it than I ever would have thought...makes frozen fries perfectly crispy.

As an East coast transplant, I was long ago forced to learn to make my own pizza after finding nothing worthy of merit in the Pacific NW. I've cooked with baking stones for the past 20+ years. I've been fortunate to have bought my stones back when they could still be found greater than 3/8" thick. Hard to find anything in the 1/2" to 3/4" thickness range these days. I recently had to replace one of my better stones in a hurry. I bought two of these strictly based on their size. What a mistake! These are the worst stones I've ever cooked on in my life! My pizzas came out almost raw except for the edges which appeared to be done. The heat transfer properties of this particular stone are suspect at best. They seem better suited for heat shields rather than baking stones. They did nothing to aid in the removal of moisture from the pizza crusts and didn't appear to transfer much heat to the dough even after heating for several hours. I heartily recommend AGAINST anyone buying these stones. You get what you pay for. Look at the price point and let common sense be your guide. I'm not usually a believer in more $$ is better, but in this case - less $$ is definitely worse! Run far - run fast.

This item works as advertised and is a big help in preparing at-home pizza to rival the results of rofessional pizza restaurants.

I use it in a full size oven, sticking it in while preheating (to 550F) and then cook homemade thin crust pizzas for 6-7 minutes. The crust comes out crispy and the stone seems to be holding up after 10+ uses.

Now that I'm a Breville convert, I was looking for any cooking equipment that fits in it. A pizza stone was high on the list and this one works just fine.

This pizza stone does what it is suppose to do. I purchased it to work with my Breville Toaster Oven (which I love) and they work well together.

My pizza crust finally cooks in at the same rate as the toppings using this stone! My old screen used to leave the crust undercooked and burn the cheese, this works great. Just put it in the oven while you heat and leave it at 500 degrees for an hour or so before use so that it's totally up to temp!

It will stain on the first use, but you can't clean it with soap. Don't give up on it once it starts to look beat up.

works very well. I wish I would have bought the 16 inch one. The 12 inch is Very good but some times with several people you'll want a larger pizza. I would recommend this product. Have not tried the more expensive ones but this works fine.

This stone is thin, and changes color even after the first use. Note that you should not put a cold stone in a preheated oven (might break) which means it's not so comfortable to get the hot stone, put the dough on it and insert it back to the oven. But, overall, this cheap product did what it said (I was sure it will break by now..).
