What Pizza Tools Do I Need and What Do They Do?
With so many different tools to choose from, it may be hard to know what you need. Pizza equipment, like other baking tools, are designed for use during different parts of the pizza-making process. Whether you need a durable pizza peel to help you as you remove pies from the oven, or you want to make clean, even slices of your favorite pies, discover how each type of tool can work for you.
- Pizza peel. A pizza peel is great for sliding pizza in and out of the oven. Pizza peels are usually designed with long handles for safety as you place or remove pizzas.
- Pizza turner. A pizza turner is a special type of pizza peel that rotates and gently turns pizzas and flatbreads during the cooking process.
- Pizza chopper. Slice pizza by holding the pizza chopper by the handle and rocking the blade back and forth on the pizza.
- Pizza ladle. A pizza ladle spreads your favorite sauces evenly on your pizza dough.
- Pizza wheel. A wheel slices pizza quickly and efficiently through baked crusts and toppings.
- Pizza server. With its wedge-shaped blade, a pizza server makes it easy to slide and serve a slice of pizza onto a plate.
From Deep Dish to Square Pizzas: Crafting the Best Homemade Pizzas with Other Essentials
What kind of pie do you want to make? Popular pizza options include deep dish, round, rectangular and square. As you explore other pizza tools, like pans and stones, decide which type of pizza you like to make the most. Prepare pizza your way, whether in the kitchen or at your outdoor pizza station. Don't forget to finish your pies with your favorite seasonings and oils.
Pizza pans often -- but not always -- feature perforated detail on the bottom of the pan to ensure the pizza dough cooks properly and gets that crispy golden-colored crust you know and love. Make your very own Chicago-style deep-dish pizza with our deep-dish pan.
Pizza stones are designed to absorb, retain and distribute heat evenly across the stone to give your pizza a perfectly golden crust. Look for stones made with a nonstick glazed finish for easy cleanup. Some pizza stones are made with ridged detail to conduct heat evenly. This allows you to perfect Italian-style pizzas with crispy crusts. You can also use pizza stones for other baked goods, like breads and calzones.
Pizza mats are made from nonstick material that's completely reusable and easy to clean. Use mats for baking or rolling out your pizza dough.
If backyard entertaining is at the top of your list, explore our outdoor pizza ovens. From compact pizza ovens that can fit on a countertop to full-sized setups, find the one that's right for you. Don't forget essential pizza tools like pizza peels to whisk your pie out of the oven, chop into your desired number of slices, and serve it all up on your favorite outdoor dinnerware plates.
Pizza sauces, pizza crust mixes and pizza seasonings are great when you're tight on time but still want the delicious taste of a homemade pie. Dress up your dough with spicy chile and tomato sauce, or explore the tasty combination of artichoke and garlic sauce. Drizzle oil on top of your pie with white truffle oil. Customize your pizza with pizza seasonings like oregano or a blend of garlic, Parmesan and Italian herbs. Enjoy pizza your way with the right tools, ovens and sauces from Williams Sonoma.
