Review: Excellent heat retention for pizza and smashburgers, especially on a grill - I seasoned this steel according to the included instructions and have been using it primarily on my grill for about a month. It’s been excellent. The 3/8” thickness holds heat extremely well and recovers quickly between cooks. I’ve made multiple pizzas on it, and the results are consistently good — crisp, well-browned crust with even cooking across the bottom. The steel heats evenly and delivers the kind of heat transfer you want if you’re trying to get closer to restaurant-style results at home. I’ve also been using it for smashburgers, and it really shines there. Once it’s hot, it delivers fast searing and great browning, and the surface performs exactly like a heavy-duty flat top. After seasoning, food releases cleanly and cleanup has been straightforward. The steel feels solid and well-made, with no warping after repeated high-heat use on the grill. Overall, it’s been versatile, durable, and easy to live with. Bottom line: If you want a thick, high-heat cooking steel that works great for pizza and absolutely excels at smashburgers, this one delivers and feels built to last.
Review: Phenomenal griddle, baking stone, and pastry slab all in one, but don't sell your skillets - I got the XL size because I wanted to be able to use it as a 2-burner griddle, and for that, it works perfectly. Just in the first few days of owning it, I cooked 6 tortillas at once for tacos, browned 3 lbs of chicken in one go, and slowly caramelized 6 onions while keeping other pots and pans free for other tasks. For pizza, its intended use, it produces crisp crusts like a champ, and its size and shape make it perfect for chilling and using as a pastry slab for croissants. It's the ultimate "pan" for cooking for a crowd, and it makes my 12-inch cast iron skillet look small and cramped by comparison. Downsides? It's a thick slab of steel. It is quite heavy and, despite its versatility, it isn't enjoyable to move from oven to stove to fridge to counter all the time. Second, it takes a long, long time to properly heat and cool, which is why I wouldn't want to leave it in the oven permanently. Its heat sink abilities work against you in this way; it takes a lot for this thing to change temperature, and that's good if you're making bread or keeping something cold, but it's also a drag when you're trying to get it up to temp. If I'm using it as a griddle, I'll turn on the burners before I even get out the flour to mix the tortilla dough. Definitely not good for impromptu or short-notice cooking. These downsides come from the same qualities that make this steel so great, so they're not at all surprising. This is a tool that is both versatile and specialized: versatile because its ability to store heat on a large surface is useful in myriad applications, but specialized because that ability to store heat comes with some significant practical drawbacks for everyday cooking. This steel will get you great results for a particular set of tasks, and if you have the ability and luxury to plan ahead, it can't be beat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only pizza steel you will ever need!
*by S***A on March 22, 2026*

Super heavy, solid, and gets piping hot! Our oven struggles to maintain heat and this steel not only produces phenomenal homemade pizza in a traditional oven, but it also helps to regulate our oven temperature. Be aware that this product is HEAVY! I leave mine in the bottom wrack when not using for pizza to maintain consistent oven temperatures.
