Baking Surfaces & Pans
Pizza Steel
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)The single biggest crust upgrade for a home oven — transfers heat far faster than a stone, for browning a 550°F oven can't otherwise reach.
Pizza Stone (Cordierite)
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)The budget-friendly classic. Gentler than steel, and the better choice in very hot outdoor pizza ovens.
Detroit-Style Pan (10 × 14)
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Dark anodized steel is what makes the fried bottom and caramelized cheese edges of a true Detroit pizza.
Detroit-Style Pan (8 × 10)
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)The smaller pan size our Detroit recipe supports — great for two people.
Cast-Iron Pizza Pan
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)A versatile pan-pizza option that also handles stovetop-to-oven duty.
Peels & Launching
Wood Launching Peel
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Dough releases from wood far more forgivingly than metal when you launch.
Perforated Turning Peel
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)A slim aluminum peel for rotating mid-bake — essential in outdoor ovens, handy in any oven.
Parchment Sheets
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Training wheels for nervous launches: build the pizza on parchment and slide it in.
Measuring & Dough Tools
Digital Kitchen Scale (1 g)
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)The most-referenced tool on this site. Every recipe here is written in grams for a reason.
Precision Scale (0.01 g)
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)At 0.4% yeast, a fraction of a gram matters. A small jeweler-style scale nails it.
Instant-Read Thermometer
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Our doughs target 72–75°F out of the mixer — stop guessing.
Bench Scraper
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Divides dough cleanly and keeps sticky counters manageable.
Flexible Bowl Scraper
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)The easiest way to move high-hydration Detroit dough without tearing it.
Fermentation & Storage
Individual Dough Containers
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Our cold-ferment instructions call for individually greased, covered containers — quart deli containers are perfect and cheap.
Dough Proofing Box
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Stackable trays for batches of four or more balls without colonizing the fridge.
Flour Storage Containers
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Airtight storage for bread flour and 00 so they stay fresh between pizza nights.
Cutting & Serving
Pizza Cutter Wheel (4-inch)
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)A large sharp wheel cuts cleanly instead of dragging cheese.
Rocker Blade
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)One press, one cut — the fastest way through a Detroit pan pie.
Cooling Rack
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Thirty seconds on a rack keeps a crisp bottom crisp instead of steaming itself soft.
Cheese & Topping Prep
Box Grater
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Pre-shredded cheese is coated in anti-caking starch and melts worse. Grating a block is a real upgrade.
Rotary Cheese Shredder
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Faster than a box grater when you're shredding for a multi-pizza night.
Microplane
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Parmesan snow, grated garlic, and the lemon zest from our White Pizza upgrades.
Sauce Ladle (2 oz)
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Portion sauce the same way every time — consistency is what makes practice count.
Squeeze Bottles
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)For garlic oil, truffle-oil base, and hot honey drizzles with control.
Pantry & Finishing
00 Pizza Flour
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Finely milled for Neapolitan-style dough; our recipes call it out as an option.
Bread Flour
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)The backbone of our New York and Detroit doughs.
Whole Peeled Tomatoes
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)The base of a proper Neapolitan sauce — crushed by hand, never pureed.
Hot Honey
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)The finishing drizzle on our Strobehn Truffle Pizza.
White Truffle Oil
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)A little goes a long way in the truffle-oil base.
For the Enthusiast
Outdoor Pizza Oven
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Our Neapolitan recipe assumes 750–900°F — that means a dedicated pizza oven.
Infrared Thermometer
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Point-and-read surface temps so you launch when the steel or stone is actually ready.
Oven Gloves
View on Amazon (opens in a new tab)Handling 500°F pans and steels without drama.
