CHEFS Round Pizza Stone, 16.5 inch : Easy-clean smooth ceramic pizza stone with the heat-retentive qualities of stoneware creates the delicious, golden-crisp texture of traditional brick-oven style baking. The thick composition of this round baking stone retains and distributes heat evenly to ensure thick and thin crusts bake to perfection.
