Can you slice pizza while it sits on the stone?

Yep, we do it all the time. We've had the stone for 7 - 8 years and it holds up great!

I would not advise it. It's best to use a pizza peal to remove the pizza from the hot stone. The stone would probably dull your cutter and leave a mess on the stone. If you buy an uncooked pizza with a cardboard insert underneath then use that to cut the pizza on after removing it from the stone. The cardboard will protect your cutter and it can be easily thrown into the garbage.

yes, the stone seems to be pretty indestructible. Just done drop it or sit on top of hot burner.

It will not damage the stone. Pizza stones always show evidence of use (stains and marks) but that doesn't affect the cooking quality. This stone is just very difficult to clean in my opinion, I have owned others and don't mind staining but this one hasn't developed a seasoned, smooth surface. It cooks ok though.

Um.. only in the traditional sense. You can put one slice in it and leave the other slot empty.

I would preheat the stones and assemble on parchment paper. Once the stone is to the desired temp you can slide the pie onto the stone.

I would guess you can, though I have not tried it. Only use mine for pizza.My suggestion would be to check with the manufacturer - they have a pretty good website.

The stone needs to be 450 degrees or hotter. The pizza is the slid onto the stone. Flour or corn meal is used to slide the pizza off of a peal.

You can cut the pizza on it but that would damage the pan, I move it to a cutting board for slicing.

while I haven't tried the stone in a regular oven, I would think it would work fine. I wouldn't hesistate to try it - the whole thing pictured goes in my bbq w/o issue. It gets really hot....have your oven mits ready. When assembling pizza....use lots of corn meal on the stone so the dough doesn't stick. I assembled pizza's on a cutting board and then slid them onto the stone. I didn't try assembling on the stone.

To answer your question, yes. Pizza stones by default are designed to be used in the oven. Not to be THAT person, but this question was already answered. Always be sure to check out others' questions because they usually have a lot of responses already, which makes the information you get that much more comprehensive. On a side note, this product is not very good. As a bit of an amateur pizza maker, I returned mine; there are much better products out there! The stone is very thin, the peel is not very good, and the cutter is rubbish. You're better off spending a few more bucks and getting a nice one.

You might try cornmeal on the stone, then your pizza. I do mostly sourdough bread but that seems to help.

I have not used it for pizza, just outside on the gas grill, always preheated and it works great.. BUT I suggest you preheat the stone, that way your pizza will bake evenly.

We have never had a problem getting our pizza off the stone. We don't do anything special to make this happen. Our pizza is homemade from the crust up.

I think it would work on top of the stone. It does brown the crust on its own though. When I only had one screen I would use my stone on the bottom rack and my screen on the top rack while doing two pizzas.

I always put mine in a cold oven so it heats up as the oven heats. You want the stone to be nice and hot when pizza dough goes on it. It gives a lovely crispness to the crust. Plus, I've heard the stone is more likely to crack if you put it into a hot oven.

I don't think it would be a problem at all even if your peel has an uneven super sharp edge. The stones are porous, but even if you scratched the surface they would still perform the same. I don't see that a metal peel would hang up on the stones. You can always ask Joe, the vendor. He's a nice guy and will answer any questions. Happy pizza making!!! YUM!

I have never used the two together, but I would assume that you could. To my understanding, a "pizza crisper" is used in an oven to make the pizza crust crisper that if it's just put on a cookie sheet or pizza pan. Buy using a stone, it naturally makes the pizza crust crusty. Combining the pizza stone and the pizza crisper might make it really crusty. Who knows?

I have. I purchased a round pizza stone and put the baskets under the stone. The flavor in incredible especially if you use wood chips or hickory charcoal. You do not need the kettle pizza ring.
