Is this pizza peel sturdy enough to lift deep dish pizzas? We often get a half-baked deep dish pizza

I would say ,"yes" . Although, I make regular crust, I have loaded the ingredients on and it has felt solid.

Yes, this thing is really sturdy. I think you would love it. It is very large as well. When I read dimensions, hard to imagine and then it arrives and is very large. The box itself is huge. It is not flimsy. Enjoy.

It is pretty sturdy. We don't make deep dish but it is well made. I don't think you will have a problem.

I haven't tried deep dish but I love this peel. It is very sturdy and it should work fine with deep dish. Best wishes and Merry Christmas!

No and no. I use mine at 450 degrees for pizza all the time and have no problems. I love it. Great price too.

I always order my take out pizza half-baked/prebaked. The stores bake the pizza half way and I finish the pizza when we are ready to eat. When I do this my pizza turns out beautifully. We enjoy using our pizza pan and it cleans up easily.

Mine is very sturdy. I'm able to use anything to remove baked goods from it, with no problem. The pan has been holding up well. Very happy with my purchase of this item.

When you say it has a very small opening, do you mean width or height? Obviously the opening width would be the main restriction. This peel is 14" wide and will work in an oven that size or larger. If you mean the height of the opening, you should be fine with any reasonable height. In fact it is easier to slide your pizza off of this peel without tipping it. So, it should be easier if height of the opening is the concern. Gary@EXO/Super Peel

YES. My only issue was that the slices are rather thin for me. I bought some plastic washers to put in between the slice bars to make them slightly thicker. The piece is very well made and should last for many years.

Hey Michelle, Although the pizza crisper may look somewhat oval on the outside. The inner circle where you place the pizza is circular in shape. So, you should be able to slice your pizza as normal. Cheers!

I'm not sure if it is or not but unless you're pressing it into the crust instead of just loosely laying it over the top I've not had a problem. You may get a little bit of baked crust shavings that stick in places but it washes up easily.

I have this pan and it is not so heavy as cast Iron. I have had carpal tunnel surgeries in both my hands so cannot lift heavy things. But this pan is very sturdy. Works very well. Romascatering

I'm sure it probably would. This is thick like a commercial pan. But not much if you want a lot of pizza as it's rather small :-)

I havent measured the depth of the pan but IMO it is pleanty deep enough for a "deep dish" pizza.. very good and sturdy pan!

Yes- it works well that way. The pizza cooks really well on the preheated stone.

yes. this is quality pizza peel wood. nice wood. plenty of room for pepperoni & cheese and other sliced meats as server on a table.

Yes. I also prefer some crispiness to my crust, but hate the drips on my oven racks from placing pizzas directly on them to get what I like. This pan serves up a nicely crisp crust, no matter what type of pizza you are baking or if you're just reheating.

Under most reasonable use the cloth will stand up very well. Home ovens at any temperature are fine. We have zillions of customers using it on Big Green Egg, Blacksone, Wood Fired Ovens, gas grills, etc. with no problems. The key here is that you are in and out so fast!! Don't linger, or set the peel un your oven and walk away :-o The only potential problem is extended close proximity to fire or hot coals. It is the radiant heat that can more likely damage the cloth. I use one of our long handled Super Peels to place pizzas way back in our Wood Fired Pizza Oven. It is not that deep, so I set the pizza right up against the coals. Have not had any problems at all.Gary@EXO/Super Peel Under most reasonable use the cloth will stand up very well. Home ovens at any temperature are fine.

I don't think it would be a problem at all even if your peel has an uneven super sharp edge. The stones are porous, but even if you scratched the surface they would still perform the same. I don't see that a metal peel would hang up on the stones. You can always ask Joe, the vendor. He's a nice guy and will answer any questions. Happy pizza making!!! YUM!

Haven't made a pizza from scratch on it, but have baked items at 500 degrees without any problem. Hope that helps. I've had mine for awhile now and use it all the time...still looks like new.
