A wooden pizza peel is the classic way to transfer pizzas to the oven. The tapered edge of this Italian birchwood pizza peel makes moving pizza, breads and pastries stress-free. 

The wooden pizza peel is made to a traditional design. Cover the surface in polenta or semolina flour to prevent the dough sticking. Then roll out or shape your pizza on the wood, stretching out the pizza dough so it's thinner in the centre than at the edges. Then add your own pizza toppings. 

It's great to have a pizza peel per person when you're preparing pizzas with groups of friends. So everyone can make their pizzas at the same time!

When ready to cook – with a quick flick of the wrist – slide the pizza off the pizza peel onto a hot stone in the oven. If you're not lucky enough to have a pizza oven, your kitchen oven door need stay open for just seconds at a time, letting you cook the perfect pizza in no time at all. 

The natural birchwood used to make the pizza peel is also a fun surface for serving and presenting pizzas. The wooden pizza peel measures 30cm by 30cm, with a 10cm handle also made of birchwood. It is lightweight, making moving back and forth between your kitchen counter and pizza oven an absolute breeze!

A larger metal pizza peel is also available.
