A pizza stone absorbs heat from your oven or barbecue and transfers it directly to the bottom of your pizza — the result is a crispy, evenly baked crust that you can never achieve with a regular baking sheet. Cordierite and ceramic are the most commonly used materials. Always preheat the stone well, for at least 45 minutes, for the best results.
