I've prided myself on my homemade pizza for years. It's something I take very seriously no matter if I am making my dough from scratch, or if time doesn't permit, using pre-made refridgerated dough. Now I've used all sorts of pizza pans to bake my pies from the round aluminum sheets, to the large round sheets with the holes in them, to the rectangular pans that pizzerias use for deep dish pizza. Bottom line is that none of them gave as true a pizzeria taste as when I used a baking stone. But if there's one drawback I had from using my stone is was my love of deep dish pizza. You could make some thick doughs on the stone, but ultimately you usually ended up with a very thick crust at the edges while the cheese, sauce, and other items all slid to the center of the pie.

With this round, deepdish edged stone you can make a true deep dish pizza because you can flatten out the entire pie just the way you want. You can leave it high at the edges or flatten it entirely. I like to make s chicago deep dish by layering the bottome with sausage or pepperoni before putting on a layer of cheese, then sauce, then one more layer of cheese and pepperoni on that. With this stone you can make a wonderful, layered pizza that you can never do on an ordinary pie pan or stone. Just marvelous!

I make a lot of homemade pizza but I was always slightly unhappy with the sogginess of the center of the pizza. Voila! With the Sassafras deep dish pizza pan I have a perfect crispy crust with every single bite of pizza.

I make home made pizzas on a flat pizza stone for my family all the time. I've often tried making deep dish pizzas in a metal pan and they were never as crispy as baking on the stone. I purchased this stone to make my deep dish pizzas and they turned out fantastic! Crispy, crunchy yet soft and chewy crust, just like chicago style. I've thrown out the metal deep dish pan!

I got this pizza pan as a gift to myself recently and I couldn't be happier with the results. I had been searching for a pizza pan that would easily allow for making either deep dish pizzas or stuffed pizzas and this pan is ideal for both. The stone lets the dough bake evenly without any heavily burned parts and when used correctly the pizza slides out almost effortlessly.

My only complaint with this pan is that it is so small that you can only make enough for 2-4 people (your appetite may vary), so I'm still searching for a larger one for parties!

I should have read the specs a little closer as it's bigger then I was expecting. From the pictures I was expecting a smaller diameter. I guess it's my dough skills but my pies don't come out much "deeper" then when I use my regular pizza stone with a standard size dough ball. I've also had a couple pies stick to the bottom so have started using a little corn meal on the bottom

We made a "to die for" apple pie in this deep dish Sassafras stone. Crust was fabulous and didn't stick upon removal. The flavor was unsurpassed. We would recommend this product!

This Deep Dish Pizza stone makes one heck of a pizza. I had been baking my homemade pizzas on metal cookie sheets. Nothing compares with how golden this crust comes out. It is crisp on the bottom (not soggy at all) but with a nice thick chewy edge. The pizza is more of a small-medium pizza pan, but perfect for 2-3 people.

Used it three times and even subjected it to thermal shock by putting it into a 475 degree oven with no preheating. Makes great deep dish.

the bottom of the sassafras cloche breaks frequently. this is an excellent replacement. the cloche top and this (or the original base) are outstanding for baking bread - the difference with and without the cloche is truely amazing.

Just as good as the Pampered Chef baker I bought it to replace. And cheaper. I use it for fish and chicken and it is great. Very easy cleanup.
