The 12″ Pizza Peel – Cherry Wood

Founder Favorite – The Peel I Use Every Day

This is the one I designed for myself. The
12" Cherry Wood Pizza Peel
is compact, balanced, and incredibly versatile — and it's my favorite tool in the kitchen. I use it to launch every pizza I make, whether I’m cooking on the Original, Plus, or PRO. I even serve pizzas right on it and slice directly on the wood. It just feels good in your hand — and it works.

🔥 Why I Love It (and You Will Too)

Just the Right Size:
12" surface is perfect for personal pizzas or smaller ovens

All Steel Compatible:
Works beautifully with every Baking Steel model

Dual Purpose:
Launch your pizza, then serve and slice directly on the peel

Handcrafted in the USA:
Made from premium cherry wood, sanded smooth and pre-oiled

Natural Non-Stick:
Wood helps prevent dough from sticking for a clean, easy launch

🪵 Why Wood Beats Metal

Wood isn’t just classic — it’s practical. Cherry wood helps wick a little moisture from the dough, making your launch smoother and more forgiving. It doesn’t get scorching hot like metal, and it won’t stick as easily either. I’ve used both, and wood wins every time. That’s why we handcraft ours from premium cherry right here in the USA.
