I saw an ad for a counter-top convection oven in which a pizza was baked at 500 degrees using a pizza stone. As my kitchen range (KitchenAid) has a convection oven and will bake at 500 degrees, I decided to buy this pizza stone. I like pizza. This stone is the largest and thickest I could find. I saw reviews for other stones where the stones had broken. I thought it would be best to buy a thick heavy stone. That describes this stone. We amateur cooks need the best equipment to offset our lack of skill.
Recipes for dough and pizza sauce came with the stone. The recipes are excellent. The instructions for the stone suggested a pizza peel, which I didn't have. I decided to make a pizza using the stone without a peel, which was a mistake.
The stone is put into the oven for at least an hour at 500 degrees I tried to put the uncooked pizza onto the stone by sliding it off a cookie sheet. This was a disaster. The pizza collapsed in a pile on the stone. The burnt dough stained the stone. The stone can be cleaned using a toothbrush. I then ordered a large metal pizza peel. Although stained, my stone is entirely functional.
The following week I made the second pizza using the stone. With my new pizza peel I was able to slide the uncooked pizza onto the hot stone. It worked well. The peel also worked well to remove the cooked pizza from the stone. I couldn't put the pizza onto the stone or get it off without the peel. Also, the stone is too hot to remove from the oven at the time the pizza is fully cooked.
The stone is very sturdy. I don't think it will break easily. I think it does a good job in baking pizza. The stone is so massive that its temperature probably is not reduced much by the uncooked pizza. That's the idea using the stone. The hot stone makes the crust crispy.
The stone fits in my range oven, but just barely. The oven door will just close without touching the stone.
Previous to buying the stone, I was using pizza kits along with a thin metal pizza sheet. Now, I make the pizza sauce and dough from scratch (using recipes that came with the stone). It's a pleasure and sense of pride to make the pizza from raw ingredients. The stone is an essential part of this process. The pizza taste is excellent.
I recommend that you buy a pizza peel if you buy this stone. I gave the stone five stars because I think it is as good as it gets.

Let's start with the only drawback I have found with this stone and the reason it didn't get the full five stars. There seems to be a beveled edge about an inch from the edge. I dont know if this is on all their stones or mine is abnormal. It didn't cause any issue with the way my pizza cooked but it did change how I had to clean it off after cooking my pizza. If this had a flat top it would have gotten five stars. I think a pizza stone needs to meet two critical standards to be useful. One it needs to hold heat well. This stone seems to hold heat very well and it is a little thicker than other pizza stones I have used and that helps the stone hold heat. The other attribute the stone has to have is to not be broken. The way this stone was packaged leads me to believe the box would have to go through a lot of abuse to break the stone. I would also imagine that with the extra thickness of the stone it would be a little more durable and less apt to break but I will be trying my hardest not to test that theory. Is summary I would recommend this pizza stone to someone who needs one and that has an oven big enough for it to fit.
