Old Stone 14-Inch Round Pizza Stone – 14" Clay Baking Stone for Crisp Crusts, Heat-Retaining Heat Core

The Old Stone 14-Inch Round Pizza Stone is a durable clay baking surface that soaks up and redistributes oven heat to produce crisp crusts and prevent soggy centers.

Designed for home ovens, this 14” round stone brings the principles of high-heat baking into your kitchen without needing a professional pizza oven. Its engineered clay construction stores heat and releases it steadily, helping dough cook through while maintaining a golden, crunchy bottom. The stone’s shape and surface texture also keep toppings organized and provide an even bake for bread, pastries and roasted vegetables.

How does the Old Stone pizza stone make crusts crisper?

By absorbing and radiating heat directly into the dough, the stone reduces moisture buildup under the crust so the base bakes firm and crisp. Its material composition and heat-retaining core are optimized for steady thermal transfer rather than quick spikes, which helps achieve uniform doneness.

• Stores and emits heat evenly across the surface for consistent browning
• Heat Core design minimizes soggy centers by removing excess moisture
• 14-inch round profile supports typical homemade pizza sizes without crowding

What oven temperatures and maintenance does it require?

The stone is suitable for use in most household ovens up to 500°F; introduce it to a preheated oven to avoid thermal shock. Cleaning is simple: rinse off residue, avoid harsh detergents, and let it air dry. Over time the stone seasons, improving performance and developing a natural patina.

• Safe in standard ovens up to 500°F; do not use on open flame
• Rinse and air dry after use; avoid soap to preserve the seasoned surface
• Seasoning improves with repeated bakes — no special coatings needed

Can I use the stone for more than pizza?

Yes — the heat retention and flat, stable surface make this stone great for baking artisan loaves, crisping pastries, and roasting vegetables evenly. The stone’s durable clay blend handles repeated heating cycles so you can expand its use across many recipes.

• Bakes bread to a crunchy, evenly browned crust
• Gives pastries a crisp base without soggy bottoms
• Roasts vegetables with steady heat for even caramelization

How is the Old Stone stone built to last and handle everyday use?

The Old Stone pizza stone is formed from a mix of lead-free clays and engineered to resist cracking during normal home use. Built-in bottom ridges make lifting and positioning easier, and the stone’s dimensions and weight strike a balance between heat capacity and practical handling.

• Durable, crack-resistant clay blend designed for repeated baking cycles
• Bottom ridges improve handling when placing or removing from the oven
• 14" diameter fits most home oven racks and pizza sizes

Who is this for? Home cooks who want to replicate restaurant-style pizza and artisan baking without specialized equipment will find this 14” Old Stone pizza stone a practical upgrade. It’s ideal for families who bake weekly pizzas, bakers wanting better crust results, and anyone who wants an easy-to-use surface for bread, pastries and roasted vegetables. If you have a standard oven and seek more consistent heat delivery and a firmer crust, this stone is built to deliver long-term, low-maintenance performance.
