Pizza on a Baking Steel
In the original review of baking stones, steel stones weren’t covered because they weren’t yet available. So here’s a test run of the Baking Steel. Just like cast iron, the Baking Steel is virtually indestructible, heats up a bit quicker and conducts heat really well. It’s larger (14×16 inches), and rectangularly shaped, while the cast-iron Lodge product is round, and smaller, with more chance for stray ingredients to go overboard. That’s in favor of this alternative metal product.
Here’s a breakfast pizza with prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, sautéed kale, soft goat cheese and fresh thyme, baked on our olive oil dough with an egg cracked on top.
This one’s a little thicker so that the crust would be nice and puffy.
This is a traditional Margherita pizza with homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella and fresh basil.
Happy baking!

I have been making pizza dough for years. My family loves the traditional pepperoni pizza. My husband and I love a homemade sausage we have.
we love pizza with lots of veggies and cheese and prefer a white sauce or no sauce in place of red. The crust can be thick or thin- we love them both!
Smoked salmon and asparagus. Yum.
Pizza topped with seasoned tomato sauce, sauteed eggplant, and fresh mozzarella. Yum.
Italian sausage, mushrooms and black olives.
Argula, chicken, tomatoes, garlic and white sauce
I have two favorites: marguerites pizza and Canadian bacon and pineapple. And, I can’t forget that the all-time favorite supreme which is an old standby. I guess you can say I just like pizza, any way or form it comes in!
My fondest memories are when my mom used to make home made pizza when I was just a kid and we got to help put the fixings on. Always loved the thin crust with ground beef, cheese, sauce and oregano. Just talking about it brings back such great feeling!
Depending on the day and the mood we add different items to our pizza. We like pizza that has a crust thick enough to hold all of the toppings desired for that day but thin enough to be crispy. My mother’s test for a tasty pizza is if the next morning it is good cold. We would love to have a pizza steel for our pizza experiments with family and friends.
I love ham and pineapple pizza. thick crust.
My very favorite it Marquarita…Tomato, Mozz & Basil…love it!
I love veggie pizza with red sauce and a little amount of cheese. I love adding artichokes but no olives whatsoever. The more colorful veggies, the better!!
almost any pizza is great. esp if it is made at home
Crushed san marzanos, baked, then topped with torn burrata, prosciutto, arugula, olive oil amd balsamic. Yum!
A nice veggie pizza with some brushed olive oil and Parmesan on the crust!
Was just introduced to this website. Make pizza weekly and excited to try these recipes. Have used the pizza stone but would also love to try the pizza steel!
Good Italian sausage with fresh mushrooms would have to be my favorite (and plenty of cheese)!
I love a thin crispy crust, a sauce that is on the sweet side, and lite toppings.
Mozzarella, basil, tomatoes. Simple is best for me.
Veggies, veggies, veggies! Any combination, any sauce. Delish!
What a wonderful prize!! My favorite pizza is a BBQ chicken pizza
My favorite pizza has shrimp, crabmeat mushrooms and crawfish.
I love any pizza but especially homemade. Fresh ingredients really make a difference. A good tomato sauce and mozzarella are my favorite.
All the pizza photos look awesome! Our family loves mushrooms, green peppers, onions, garlic & lots of cheese! So hungry right now!
I love to make pizza at home! Miced fresh vegetables witj cheesr isy favotite!
I love to make pizza at home! Mixed fresh vegetables with cheese is my favorite!
Take and bake pizza is always delicious.
So thrilled I found you after reading one of your books a long time ago! Am looking forward to reading your posts and getting your new book!
Pizza is my favorite food group. Had a homemade Taco Pizza on Wed. for dinner. I have to get my pizza fix at least a couple times a week :}
Still looking for the best pizza. I really liked the pizzas Fed’s sister made for us in Barberino.
Turkey pepperoni, fresh cut tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, garden bell peppers, onions, whole food 365 feta cheese with black peppe, and chopped black olives. Half for dinner. Half for Lunch the next day at work.
I actually am just getting into making homemade pizza. My grandchildren love baking with me and doing crafts. My granddaughter is a very picky eater so hopefully if she makes her own pizza with what she likes she will eat healthier. I am also new at your website. Thanks so much.
I suppose this might be a tad ‘boring’ but I really like my pizza with spinach and roma tomato on it. (I sprinkle a little garlic on it too) Mmmmm.
My favorite pizza has chicken, pesto, green onions, and cheese. I’m not as big on the red sauce, so this one is perfect for me.
At our house we have been making a lot of homemade pizza our favorite BBQ chicken with bacon!
We love almost any kind of pizza, especially if it has bacon on it.
I am crazy about Chicken, Bacon, Artichoke pizza. You have so many options, I am eager to try them! Do you ever make a thinner crust pizza?
Would love to have the baking steel and the cookbook!!! We used to bake pizzas when I was growing up. There were 6 of us in my family so we needed two pizzas. We would team up and see who’s pizza would turn out the best. So much fun and memories made there! My favorite pizza is olives, jalapenos, and fresh tomatoes with beef pepperoni. Yummy and makes me want to make one right now!
I guess I did not do my comment correctly….I just love Chicken, Artichoke, Bacon pizza. I have just learned about your web page and am looking forward to trying your breads and pizza doughs. I am curious whether you ever make a thinner pizza crust. Thanks.
Margherita! Simple and good!
Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and arugula — only way to eat pizza (in my opinion ;).
Cheeseburger pizza! Ketchup and mustard instead of sauce, cheddar cheese, ground beef, top with shredded lettuce and tomato slices when cooked. I’m a self-described food snob and didn’t want to try it but I am glad I did!
All pizza is my favorite!! But if I had to narrow it down, I really like goat cheese, roasted red peppers & kalamatas; another favorite is chicken sausage, sauteed bell peppers & onions… so many yummy combinations!!!
I like tomato, carmelized onion, spinach and mushrooms. It’d be fun to try a breakfast pizza.
Our favorite type of pizza is pepperoni and pineapple. The pineapple just makes it sing!
Veggie pizza with pineapple and jalapenos! This summer though I want to try making a chicken tikka pizza:)
Any pizza — but I suppose ham & pineapple. Or mushroom. Or — well they’re all good!
My favorite is three types of white cheese, artichoke hearts and arugula.
We only eat homemade pizzas and don’t have any favorites, love them all!
Mmmm, pizza. I would have to go with Margherita pizza if I had to pick, but pizza at our house usually involves whatever leftovers we have in the fridge.
My family loves the traditional pepperoni, mushroom, sausage pizzas. I bake mine on a stone or on a large flat Lodge cast iron griddle. Both work great!
