After reading numerous reviews and doing my research, I chose the Emile Henry Pizza Stone because it’s made in France with durable, scratch-resistant glaze and is designed to handle temperatures up to 900°F.

After that I was actually gifted one, which I passed on since mine has been holding up so well.

How I Use It

First, it’s important to preheat the pizza stone. When I turn on the oven / grill / smoker, I add in the pizza stone.
Once it reaches about 500 degrees F, my secret is to par-bake pizza dough on the stone a few minutes, before adding toppings.
Then I bake the pizza until the top cheese is bubbling and crust is golden brown.

Features I Love

What really sets this pizza stone apart is its durability. The glazed surface not only resists scratches but also makes it easy to clean.

The stone’s micro-crazed glaze ensures that the bottom of the pizza bakes to perfection without burning.

NEVER do this… Contrary to what most people believe, when baking pizza on a sheet pan, never add toppings to raw pizza dough. Instead, follow my recipe for making homemade pizza with ready made dough, which will teach you how to par bake pizza dough first.
