New Star Foodservice 50295 Wooden Pizza Peel, Birch, Wood

Makes pizza night flow smoothly and efficiently. Really nice size to work with and the pies go in and out of oven easy.

This product made of basswood is the correct wood to be used for pizza making and not Bamboo. Made of very good quality and great value for the money. This wood is easier to maintain than Bamboo.

Not impressive. Too thick to slip under the pizza. I had to sand the edge significantly in order to make it usable.

I have read in various places that it can be hard to slide your pizza odd the peeler and into the over. Wooden are the best as they have natural air pockets, followed by the metal with holes and last the plain metal ones. Highly recommend this. Even though it is large, it is not too heavy.

This pizza peel is wonderful! It’s a good size, especially if you want to make pizzas that are not too large and make, perhaps, a couple with different toppings. I was afraid at first that the raw dough would stick to it, but with a generous sprinkling of semolina rimacinata (finely ground semolina) the pizza slides off like a charm. There is no need to wash it afterwards, just thoroughly brush off the semolina afterwards and you’re ready to go. I use it with my cast iron pizza pan which is heated in the oven for about half an hour. I heartily recommend it!
