New Star Foodservice 50226 Restaurant-Grade Wooden Pizza Peel, 14" L x 12" W Plate, with 8" L Wooden Handle, 22" Overall Length

Quality construction, works well, and perfect size for our pizza.

I'm a big fan of wooden peels. I love the classic feel of it. Makes me feel like I'm in a pizzeria. But more than that, I feel like the performance of a wooden peel is superior to a metal one. I tend to have to use more flour to dust the peel and have on the pizza to make it not stick, which leads to it getting burnt on the pizza and leaving a bitter taste. The wooden peel requires less flour because the temperature difference between the peel and the dough isn't as great.

I bought this for my Ooni Koda 12 and it works perfectly. Very happy with this purchase.

For my kitchen, a pizza peel is where I assemble the pizza and then I need the raw pizza to "slide easily" onto the hot, preheated stone. And then, of course, easily lift the finished pie off the stone for serving. Although the latter works pretty well, the former does NOT! I blame myself for not reading the description a little better. If I had, I would have noted that this was made of pine which is a VERY POROUS wood! This makes it extremely sticky and raw dough does NOT slide off (of course the board is treated with flour and cornmeal first). Contrary to at least one answer I've seen, you ABSOLUTELY need to treat wooden utensils and boards with mineral or other designated oils. The dry pine just makes it stick even more and will quickly crack with repeated use. Unfortunately, the pinewood is SO absorbent, the oil tends to get soaked in and the surface remains "not-non-stick."Although I won't be able to use this as a pizza peel, I'm going to keep it for a cutting board (for DRY substances - I would not use this to cut hot marinaded grilled or roasted meats as the juices would just get soaked up by the porous pine). It will also serve as a nice, rustic-looking serving platter for fruits & cheeses. For a pizza peel, I'm going to search for bamboo or, even better, acacia wood. They are much harder, denser woods and also come from environmentally sustainable sources.

Good price/quality ratio but a bit rough. The lack of finish is not a surprise at this price.
