Ironwood Gourmet Napoli pizza peel — Acacia wood 14 x 20 in, thin beveled edge & wide-base handle for effortless transfers

The Ironwood Gourmet Napoli Pizza Peel is a handcrafted acacia-wood peel designed to launch, turn and retrieve home-baked pizzas with a slim slanted edge, a secure wide-base handle and a convenient hanging grommet.

Beautifully finished from responsibly sourced Acacia hardwood and made by skilled craftsmen in Thailand, this 14 x 20 x 0.5-inch peel combines form and function so you can move pizzas confidently between countertop, peel and stone or oven. Its naturally varied grain gives a striking appearance while the slanted edge and balanced handle reduce tearing of crusts and accidental slips. Treated and maintained properly, the wood will keep its color and performance for years.

How does the slanted edge improve pizza handling?

The thin, chamfered front edge slides smoothly under dough and baked crusts, making it easier to launch pizzas onto a hot stone and to scoop them back out without catching. That gentle taper helps avoid ripped dough and reduces the need for forceful jabbing under the pie.

• Thin beveled edge for effortless sliding under pizza
• Prevents crust tearing during transfer
• Works well with both raw and partially baked pies

Is the Napoli Pizza Peel durable enough for regular home use?

Yes — the peel is made from dense Acacia hardwood that resists warping and stands up to routine kitchen tasks. The handle features a wider base that distributes grip pressure, improving control and reducing slips when carrying heavy pies.

• Solid acacia construction for long-term use
• Secure wide-base handle for steady control
• Lightweight at about 1.6 pounds for comfortable maneuvering

How should I clean and maintain the wood so it lasts?

Clean the peel by hand with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly — never soak or use a dishwasher. After drying fully, nourish the wood with a food-safe oil to protect against cracking and to preserve the rich, natural colors.

• Hand wash only; do not soak or dishwasher-clean
• Dry upright so all surfaces air-dry evenly
• Regularly apply butcher block oil to maintain finish and prevent drying

What extra uses does this peel have beyond pizza?

Because of its size and attractive grain, the Napoli peel doubles as a serving and prep surface for charcuterie, cheeses, sandwiches and shared appetizers. The flat, sturdy board provides a presentable surface right from oven to table.

• Use as a rustic charcuterie or cheese board
• Great for sliding baked goods and flatbreads
• Grommet allows easy hanging for display or storage

Who is this for: home cooks and pizza enthusiasts who want a professional feel without commercial equipment — those who value handcrafted materials, memorable presentation and a peel that performs reliably. If you bake on a stone or grill, entertain with rustic boards, or simply want a durable, attractive tool for moving pizzas and flatbreads, the Ironwood Gourmet Napoli Pizza Peel is designed to make those tasks easier and more elegant.
