The One That Started It All

We invented the pizza steel. The Baking Steel Original turns your home oven into a pizza-making powerhouse, giving you the same blistered crusts and crisp, airy bases you’d expect from a wood-fired oven — all without leaving your kitchen.

The OG. The Baking Steel Original is the tool that launched a movement. Trusted by home cooks, chefs, and pizzerias around the world.

🔥 Why the Original Stands Out:

  • The Inventor’s Edge: We pioneered the pizza steel and set the standard for home pizza-making. Everything started here.
  • Pizzeria-Quality at Home: Steel conducts heat far faster than stone, creating incredible oven spring, crispy bottoms, and leopard-spotted crusts.
  • Versatility You’ll Love: Bake pizza, sourdough, pastries, flatbreads, roasted veggies, smashburgers — all on one tool.
  • Engineered to Last: Forged from solid, seasoned carbon steel. Virtually indestructible, designed to last a lifetime.
  • Made in the USA: Every Baking Steel is cut, finished, and seasoned right here in the U.S.
  • 3D + AR Ready: See it interactively before you buy.

🍕 Perfect for Pizza Lovers

If you want pizzeria-quality results at home, this is where it begins. The Baking Steel Original transforms your home oven into a high-performance pizza oven, letting you create blistered crusts, chewy centers, and perfectly melted cheese every time.

🥖 For Bread Bakers

Love baking bread? Swap your Dutch oven for an open-bake setup that produces incredible oven spring and blistered crusts. Use the Baking Steel to bake multiple loaves at once and achieve bakery-level results in your own kitchen.
