i usually make pizza in a 12" cast-iron skillet. That way it’s round.
For a more ‘artisan’ look, I thought I’d get a pizza stone. I didn’t want to pay $30 or $40 for one, so I looked for a tile. But I went to a landscaping store instead of a home store. The closest piece of stone I could find that might serve was a piece of slate. I wasn’t sure if it would work, so the yard worker told me to just take it. So I got my pizza stone free.
If your pizza stone broke while a pizza was upon it, do not fret. For your pizza, having committed no treachery and being baked in a traitor’s stead, shall return to you whole and uneaten.
Agreed. I have two of those, six years of steady use, no problems. I got tired of replacing a pizza stone every once in a while (and they would always break at an inconvenient time - just as I was ready to make a pizza).
