Can you cut the pizza directly on the pizza stone?

I wouldn't recommend it. An aluminum pizza pan is made for that purpose. Try ablekitchen.com for pizza pans as low as $3.00 each. Also get a "pizza screen" to let pizza cool a little and prevent crust from getting soggy.

Hey Kara- I own two of these stones because they work great! They are quite heavy though and will stay hot for awhile after cooking. Cutting the pizza on the stone would be fine for the stone (it's quite sturdy), however, this would be hard to do because it's quite hot/heavy. After making my pizzas I use a pizza peel (relatively cheap) and pull the pizza out of the oven. I then cut the pizza on the peel. It would be tough to pull the whole stone out of the oven although it could be done. Hope that helps!

You could - however most people use a wooden pizza peel (like a flat wooden paddle) to remove the pizza from the stone before cutting it.

Hi - it is recommended that you do not cut the pizza on the stone. We transfer the pizza from the stone to a metal tray and cut it on the tray. It is also recommended to not cut on a wood service. Hope that helps.

You can, but not a good idea. Buy an inexpensive round metal pizza pan and cut it on that.

No, the stone is too hot, stone cannot be taken out of oven with pizza on it. When cutting the pizza, the sauce and cheese will melt onto the stone and cause black burn spots.

The top is stainless steel, so technically you can cut directly on it. however, steel with steel knives will dull them more quickly.

I purchased a large pizza spatula thingy to go with the pizza stone. It makes transfer of pizzas to and from the stone into a pretty simple affair.

I line the pan with parchment paper and when it is time to bake the pizza I slide the whole thing off onto a pizza stone and bake it. When it's bubbling I slide it back onto the pan and then off again to slice with a pizza cutter. (that way I don't mess up the pan and get a great pizza shape and browned crust)

I use my pan for pizza and slide the complete pizza off the pan before cutting the pizza. I am afraid of damaging the pan, which may or may not be true if I would cut on the pan.

I let the stone heat up in the oven and slide the pizza, calzone or whatever onto it. The quality and tastiness of almost any kind of dough or pastry/filo crust is greatly improved when baked on this hot stone. This is the same technique you can see at many restaurants that have stone ovens for baking pizza etc. The stone surface is always heated first before adding the food.

I've used a knife for years..... but what is under your pizza when you are cutting it? A pizza stone? That ruins the edge on the knife in no time...even if you have the patience to rock a chef's knife, the stone is brutal. A cookie sheet? That's easier on the knife, but the sheet gains cuts. Seems like this tool or a rolling pizza cutter would work better.

For the most part yes.Its extremely heavy so they deliver it mostly assembled. We did have to put the top on it and a few screws. It works nice but youhave to get the correct size stone for pizzas as it doenst work well without a stone. goodluck

Being that it's Teflon I haven't taken the chance. I slide the pizza on to a cutting board before slicing. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried. However, I do put pizza dough through it. But it only opens wide enough for kind of thin crust pizza. But I don't see why not. Keep in mind it will only be about 5 inches wide and thickness would be about 1/4 inch. Hope that helps.

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. To answer your question, yes. Pizza stones by default are designed to be used in the oven.

No, it's completely smooth on both sides. You just set it directly on your oven rack. Be sure to measure in inside of your oven to make sure the pizza stone will fit.

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.

Why put the stone on a grill? You can put pizza dough directly on a hot grill. Just turn off the burners directly under the dough while cooking. Best when you cook one olive oiled side, remove, oil uncooked side, put toppings on cooked side, return to grill. Watch carefully as this process takes just a few moments per side.

Yes. We turn it one time. We use cornmeal on the stone so it isn't that difficult. We were making our first couple pizzas too large. We now make them a little smaller & The Mighty Pizza oven works great with the slightly smaller pizzas. Hope this helps you.

No pizza stone and be careful when taking something out, as rack does tend to give way and hot food items fall forward. Hope this helps - and also saves you from a meal on the floor

I've never tried this. I would think you could do it, though you might want to do a test piece to get the timing right. We have made focaccia -- basically pizza without toppints. It takes a bit less time than a pizza.
