Cherry Wood 12" Pizza Peel
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.
