18 X 18 X 1 Square Industrial Pizza Stone

This was a gift for a gourmet cook, who has reported back that it is perfect for his pizzas, breads, and some other baking uses. His previous stone had suddenly cracked. This one is a more durable material for high heat uses; it is overall larger for more baking surface at one time. It is a thicker and heavier piece. He leaves it in place in the oven even when baking casseroles or meats and not specifically using the stone. He is impressed with the quality and end results.

I had been using a small 10" round pizza stone for a few years with mediocre results. I wanted real brick oven pizza at home without spending alot of money on a larger stone. I did some research and found California pizza stones their 18"x18"x1" was reasonably priced compared to other stones all smaller by the way.I liked the fact that the stone is made in the USA and guaranteed food safe (no lead).I have been using the stone daily since receiving it to make the most incredible pizza and breads I heat it to 500 f on my grill a small fire bucket of hard wood adds a real wood fired taste to your pizza.I had a customer service issue that was promptly handled by the company and very much to my satisfaction so based on my experience and delicious results I would definitely recommend California pizza stones products and their company.

This item was shipped in a great box and packing material. The stone it self is very heavy and works well in the oven. Be sure to read up on the best way to put a pizza in and tack one out before your first attempt. I had some trouble, but not with the stone; it is fabulous. You do need to let it preheat for a good hour to get the crispy crust you want so plan accordingly. I would say to only use this stone with homemade pizza dough, not frozen or pre cooked stuff.

This is a great pizza stone. It works very well. I just wish I had bought the thinner version, because I don't think the full inch thickness is necessary for making pizza at home. If you are considering this, consider the thinner version for your home pizza making needs.

This is the pizza stone you’re looking for. Excellent quality. I would say this is a necessity for the home pizza maker / dough chef. My stone was packaged well and came out of the box with no issues. Totally would buy again and I’ve already told some friends.

Half a dozen gouges on top of stone. Packed great so it was packed damaged.

The stone is advertised as being 18”x18”x 1” Unfortunately the stone is actually 18 1/4” 18 1/4” x1” and I needed it to be exactly that size!

This large dense stone holds so much heat that it radically changes the results of baking pizza in a conventional consumer oven. Pizza crusts crisp and brown like your favorite pizzeria. I love it. It is expensive and costly to ship but it is a game changer. I went with this large stone so I can actually bake a large NY style pizza with slices large enough to fold. Just barely fits in my oven. I'd get a bigger one if I could.
