Buying Guide

Match blade size to your oven and pizza

Choose a blade width and depth that fits your oven opening and the pizza sizes you make—options here include 14×14 and 16×12/16×14 blade faces

Pick the right handle length

Shorter handles (around 22–26") work well for countertop and home ovens, while longer handles (42") give more distance for deeper or hotter ovens

Prefer basswood for dough release

Basswood peels are common for indoor use because the grain and texture help prevent dough from sticking without excessive flour or cornmeal

Look at weight and balance

A peel that’s too heavy makes maneuvering difficult; balance between blade size and handle length affects how easily you slide and rotate pizzas

Consider multi-size needs

If you make different pizza sizes, choose a peel blade that covers your largest frequent pizza or keep multiple sizes on hand for versatility
