Best Pizza Stones In 2022

The first product we’re reviewing today is our Best Choice recommendation and it’s brought to you by Unicook. Manufactured from high-quality FDA and LFGB approved Cordierite stone, it creates an excellent surface for cooking homemade pizza and cookies as well as frozen pizzas, tarts, and quiches. Cordierite stone has unique heat retention properties and is heat safe to an impressive 1450-degrees Fahrenheit. It boasts excellent thermal shock resistance and is prized for promoting even heat distribution which results in optimal cooking conditions. If you love a thin crust, then you need to invest in the best pizza stone and you really can’t go wrong with Cordierite.

This rectangular-shaped option from Unicook measures 15”x12” overall and is 16mm thick, weighing just short of 7lbs. It’s highly effective at drawing moisture out of dough to make delicious pizza bases, flatbreads, and crispy crusts. Cordierite is preferred by many over metal because it eliminates that soggy bottom that can so often occur when you’re using a metal base. You don’t want to end up burning your pizza in the process of ensuring the middle is cooked. With this Unicook baking stone, that’s not an issue. One essential point to note is that your stone must be pre-heated first before you place your food on it; otherwise, you won’t get the even results you’re looking for. You should also take care to look after your stone correctly and never use soap or detergents to clean it, just warm water and a gentle hand wash. That’s because of the natural porous nature of the stone. If you handle with care and follow the instructions, you can enjoy pizza the authentic way. And to be able to prepare perfect homemade pasta every time, make sure you chose your favorite pasta drying racks from our list.

The Weber Gourmet Pizza Stone is a great tool for recreating that one great pizza you had as an 18-year-old years ago and have never found since then and is ideal for those who love thin crust pizza above all other styles. This is achieved through the Cordierite stone construction, which absorbs moisture and ensures a light but still beautifully crispy pizza crust that’ll have you salivating even before the first bite.

The carry rack saves your hands (and your pizza) when moving it from the oven, and for versatility, you can remove this when placing it on the BBQ if you want to indulge in your favorite food outside during the summer. The design allows it to fit comfortably onto a standard grilling grate, keeping it secure without the risk of toppling or cracking.

Our next recommended product comes from the globally recognized brand, Lodge, and has been nominated as our Best Cast Iron Pizza Pan. Those of you who take pride in their cookware will no doubt be gamily with this family-run business, founded back in 1896. Family values are the backbone of this company and high-quality cookware is their specialty. They still operate out of two foundries on the banks of the Tennessee River. We’ve handpicked their 14-inch round pizza pan for special mention today. Featuring loop handles for convenient and safe transportation, this is a joy to cook, bake and serve with.

This durable pizza stone measures a generous 16” and is perfect for homemade pizzas for the whole family. The cordierite stone can withstand sudden changes in temperature, so you can pre-make your pizzas earlier in the day to sit in the fridge and be transported directly into the oven without cracking or needing to move fragile, uncooked pizzas too much. The stone is a perfectly even thickness all over, so heats up consistently. It allows the entire pizza to cook at the same rate, causing a perfect melted cheese topping and fantastic crust. What’s more, it will even retain some warmth out of the oven, so your dinner stays warmer for longer. What’s more, the stone’s moisture-wicking properties prevent the pizza base from getting soggy so you can be sure of crispy, chewy, restaurant-quality pizzas every time.

Our top pick of awesome pizza stones is the Honey-Can-Do Old Stone Oven Rectangular Pizza Stone, which delivers restaurant-quality results at an easily affordable mid-range price. For the perfect bake, it absorbs heat, transferring it evenly across the base with a specially engineered Heat Core eliminates the soggy center that plagues pizzas baked on standard trays.

It’s easy to clean, but only if you’re on top of maintenance so don’t leave it in the oven overnight for crusted and cheese to settle and stick to the surface. It can also cope with temperatures as high as 500℉, and maybe even higher in some ovens. Its durable construction prevents cracking and odors to ensure the best-tasting pizza every time.

It’s a little difficult to clean, especially if you’ve never owned a pizza stone before, but this should get easier with practice, and often you won’t need to clean it all. Instead, be sure to preheat the oven (with the stone inside) to 450℉.

The PentaBeauty Pizza Stone is a premium product that’s designed purely for making pizza taste better. That’s a mission statement we can get behind. They’re originally made for pizza ovens but you can use them in your conventional oven at home. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it looks like cheap MDF wood either, this pizza stone is made from all-natural cordierite stone that has been sintered in a 2,100ºF kiln for hours on end. This method makes it extremely strong, super durable, gives it excellent heat retention, and offers excellent thermal shock resistance. Basically, it’s designed for the heat. 

The stone is full of invisible micro-pores that absorb and eliminate excess moisture from the dough, resulting in beautifully crispy and delicious pizza. Plus, like all of the pizza stones on this list, it doesn’t need to be washed with soap. Instead, the seasoning builds up over time and gives you that authentic restaurant-quality pizza. 

The Pizza Stone by Hans Grill is one of those kitchen tools that you buy once and then you can keep for the rest of your life. It’s not the cheapest option on this list but when you pull it out of the packaging, you’ll see why. It’s made in the same way as the other pizza stones on this list – crafted from all-natural formulated cordierite and heated up to 2,100ºF for hours until it’s completely solid. The difference is that it’s finished off with a neat edge and has an embossed logo in the corner that gives the feeling of quality. 

It also comes with a wooden pizza peel for getting your beautiful pizza in and out of the oven safely. The stone measures 15” x 12” and can be cleaned with a simple rinse, allowing the flavour to remain in the stone. If you’re looking for a lifelong pizza-making companion, this is the tool for you.
