Chicago Brick Oven Pizza Peel, 12" x 14" Aluminum Pizza Paddle, 35.5" Long Pizza Shovel with 21" Detachable Wooden Handle

My husband loves pizza! Earlier this year he really started to get into it and starting making special dough for it so it could be even better. I surprised him with this pizza peel and he loved it. To make good pizza, you want to have your oven really hot, so having this peel with a long handle really helps you not get so warm while working in the kitchen. He also loves how easy it is to clean. The wooden handle can be detached from the peel and then you can throw the peel in the dishwasher if you want. He usually just cleans it by hand because it is quick and easy. Overall a great purchase! I may also buy him a wooden one because if you aren't careful, dough can stick a little to the metal peel. works like a charm though to pull anything out of the oven!

Perfect. Exactly as advertised

This works well with my Halo pizza oven. Thin enough to slide under pizza. Peel is sturdy and the long handle (screws in) makes it nice to maneuver. Most are foldable which makes them feel less sturdy Highly recommend!

This pizza peel has several well-thought-out design elements that make it stand out in its price range. Pros: - Extended Reach: The handle measures 19", and the sturdy metal mounting stem adds over 21" of total reach—great for safely maneuvering pizzas, breads, meats or flimsy aluminum pans w/ food in and out of hot ovens, or grills. - Lightweight Wood Handle: The handle feels lightweight and comfortable in hand, with what appears to be a leather hanging loop at the end—convenient for storage. - Secure Mounting: The peel head is connected with four solid rivets arranged in a pattern that should resist loosening or wobbling over time. - Thread Quality: The high thread-per-inch count on the handle connection helps keep the handle locked tightly in place during use. Cons: - Handle Mount Durability: While the threaded metal insert is initially tight, the way it’s anchored in the softwood handle may not hold up over time. Repeated tightening and removal could eventually cause it to loosen in the wood. - Glued Connection: It appears the manufacturer used glue to strengthen this bond, but I believe a better mechanical solution is needed—such as a hardwood handle or additional reinforcement. My Fix: If this issue arises, I plan to secure the insert using a tapered screw or a punch to create deeper pressure for added grip. I've included photos so you can better see the construction details I’m referring to. Overall, I think this is a great peel for the price, with just one area to watch for long-term durability. A little reinforcement and it should last a long time.

I bought an Ooni 12" karu and this peel works great for it. Fits perfectly for placing pizza's. It is easy to assemble, I like the twist on handle. Highly Recommend.

Great pizza peel for home use

This is great for removing pizza from a hot oven. We prepare our pizzas on parchment paper for easy transport to the oven (instead of buying a wooden one- it’s a simplification method that has worked well for us. Yes, the parchment stays in our oven during cooking. It’s great having this tool. It’s strong and lightweight. The threading is very good and most importantly it does the job. Handle comes off for easy storage - big plus.

We purchased this pizza paddle to use in our kitchen when making homemade pizza. Once the raw dough is laid on the paddle and the ingredients added, it is easy to slide the unbaked pizza into the oven onto the pizza stone. Once the pizza is done, it is easily removed with this light weight yet strong paddle. It was and is well worth the money. This paddle is well made and as a former pizza restaurant manager, I highly recommend it.

It is very convenient to use and big enough to make a big pizza.

This peel is awesome. Easy to assemble, pretty durable, light, and nimble. I've used it for a lot of stuff, but for pizza its perfect. The smooth handle, polished aluminum, and tough, riveted joint make it quite nice to use. What I also found however, is that it makes a fantastic fan for the smoke alarm. When the pizza comes out of the oven with all that burning flour and pepperoni edges and whatnot, you can put the pizza down and you already have a fan in your hand. Just don't go too hard, or you'll bend it a couple degrees like I did. Pretending it was a weapon did not help. One nitpick though, the angled grind on the end seems to be backwards. I find it easier to use with the logo-down. Doesn't really matter though. Great peel at a great price. Easy to transport, and is also a well designed fan.

So far so good. The spatula part of it is perfect, steal with a relatively sharp edge. Slid cleanly under our homemade pizza. At first I wasn't sure about the wooden handle, but it seems very solid while I was using it. Time will tell for sure, but so far it is perfect and I am very satisfied.

The only thing holding me back from giving this a 5-star rating is that the threading they used is so fine that it takes some time to put it together or take it apart. Other than that good product. It even has one beveled edge for easier use.

The pizza peeler exceeded my expectations in every way. The peel isn't flimsy or thin like I had expected and the bevelled leading edge was nicely polished. The build seems good quality too. The short handle is riveted solidly and I'll feel confident using the wooden handle if necessary.
