I had another stone from a well known bath and bed store and it cracked down the middle for no reason. I received this one and it was well packed and larger than my old one. Have only used it 2 times but has worked great. Crisp delicious pizza both times.

I have been looking for a larger pizza stone for a while. I like the larger pizzas and this works great. You don't have to be so accurate when sliding the pizza on.

The half inch thick stone is a must for those of us who like to create pizza at home. First of all, heating the stone / oven at the highest temp for at least an hour before inserting your pizza, is absolutely necessary to get that great crust in the shortest bake time (6-8 min).There is no maintenence other then brushing off the left over corn meal after cool down. One tip when you are finished with the baking leave your over door partially open after shutting down the heat. This will minimize burning the left over corn meal on the stone.This stone will deliver if you follow these practices.

Put it in the oven and heat it up your rolls will have a great easy crust and the fragrance in the house will knock your socks off. It is also great for pizza.

I've used this twice now. It's a big, solid stone, and did the job very well. It was discolored after the first use from some of the pizza toppings burning onto the stone, which is mostly my fault, and not a problem.

It took a lot of searching to find a stone this big, and it looks like it was worth the search. I had one about this size before, but it was about half the thickness. That one split down the middle while we were cooking a pizza. This one feels a lot more solid and I don't anticipate any such problems.
One caution. You might want to measure your oven before you buy it. I had an oven once that wasn't deep enough for a stone this size.

I bought this because of its size. But found it was a great pizza stone in itself. We used it as soon as we received it. Thanks for finally having a bigger stone.

When we researched this product online there was no mention of the maximum heat this stone was heat resistant too. It was not until we received it that that information became available. We were very disappointed as we were in the market for a stone with a higher heat resistance and had to return the stone.

I would definitely recommend this pizza stone, however purchasers need to know that it IS a stone; and stains in the stone (sauce, etc) are inevitable. It functions well and delivers a crisp crust every time. The size is perfect (16.5") for us - whether we make a pizza from scratch or order out!
