Lloyd Pans 12-Inch Straight-Sided Pizza Pan 12 x 1 — Pre-Seasoned PSTK Aluminum, 14-Gauge Heavy-Duty

The Lloyd Pans 12-inch straight sided PSTK pizza pan is a heavy-duty, pre-seasoned aluminum pan designed to deliver chewier, evenly baked medium to thick-crust pizzas with a durable, permanent release finish.

Built for commercial kitchens but suitable for home chefs who demand professional results, this 12" x 1" pizza pan combines 14-gauge aluminum strength with Lloyd Pans’ Pre-Seasoned Tuff-Kote (PSTK) release. The pan’s rolled rim and one-inch depth hold toppings securely while the factory-applied seasoning and water-based release coating provide stick resistance without PFAS. Oven-safe to 700°F empty and engineered to tolerate higher temperatures in normal use, the pan is low-maintenance and made in the USA for consistent, repeatable baking performance.

How does this pan change pizza texture and baking speed?

The thick 14-gauge aluminum base conducts heat rapidly and evenly, promoting faster bake times and a chewier interior compared with thinner pans. The retained seasoning and oil layer encourage browning and a slightly richer crust profile without extra buttering during each use.

• Heavy-gauge aluminum for even heat distribution and shorter bake cycles
• Pre-seasoned surface holds oil for enhanced crust flavor and texture
• 1" side depth supports medium to thick crusts and deeper toppings

Is the PSTK finish hard to maintain and safe to use?

PSTK (Pre-Seasoned Tuff-Kote) is applied at the factory so the pan arrives ready for cooking and needs minimal upkeep. The water-based release is PFAS-free and allows metal utensils, while the permanent stick-resistance reduces frequent re-seasoning.

• Factory seasoning eliminates initial prep and reduces maintenance
• Water-based, PFAS-free coating for safer release performance
• Durable finish tolerates metal tools without losing non-stick properties

Can this pan withstand high-temperature ovens and commercial use?

Yes — Lloyd Pans designs these pans for professional kitchens. Empty, they’re rated oven-safe to 700°F; when cooking food is present it creates a moisture barrier allowing use at even higher practical temperatures, provided food is monitored to avoid burning.

• Oven-safe to 700°F when empty; safe in higher temp cooking with food present
• Rolled rim for strength, dimensional stability and easy handling in busy kitchens
• Chosen by hotels, bakeries, and pizza franchises for repeated commercial performance

What size and situations is the 12" x 1" pan best for?

This 12-inch, 1-inch deep model is optimized for medium and thick crust pizzas, small group servings, and kitchens that need reliable, repeatable results. It fits most home and commercial ovens and stacks or nests efficiently for storage.

• 12" diameter with 1" depth suited to medium/thick crust pizzas and personal-size pies
• Compact enough for home ovens yet robust for commercial rotation
• Stackable, rolled-rim design simplifies transport and storage

Who is this for: Chefs, caterers, pizzerias, and home cooks who want a commercial-grade pizza pan that balances fast, even cooking with long-lasting release performance. If you prioritize durability, repeatable crust results, and a pan that ships ready-to-use with a factory seasoning and PFAS-free coating, the Lloyd Pans 12" x 1" PSTK pizza pan is engineered for that workflow. It’s not crafted for show — it’s made to perform under frequent use and deliver reliable pizza crusts night after night.
