Whether you're slamming a frozen pizza into the oven for a quick weeknight dinner, or carefully placing a homemade Italian-style masterpiece in to cook, you need an excellent pizza pan. There are essential qualities to consider, such as anti-warp properties, non-stick finishes, and whether you want a perforated base to avoid soggy pizza bottoms. We've got a top-six list for your consideration.
This 14-inch pizza pan is made from heavy gauge aluminized steel and has a super-thin design for even heating, but thick rolled edges to prevent warping and make it easier to handle. It's also non-stick and has a perforated design. When you've made your pizza pie, this pan is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
This 13.5-inch pan is made of cast iron for a heavy-duty option that can be used for more than just pizza. Perfect for anyone who likes their crusts well done, it has raised edges. There are two loop side handles for a secure hold, which is useful as this is classic-looking enough to take to the dinner table. Oven safe to 204 degrees Celsius, this has a ridged finish to avoid sticking.
Wilton's "Recipe Right" bakeware range has a heavy-duty cold-rolled steel construction, a durable non-stick coating, and oversized handles that make it easy to get it in and out of the oven, even if you're wearing bulky oven gloves. This 14-inch pizza pan gets a reinforced coating for quick release.
Described by the manufacturer as "brutally tough," this 14-inch option is another cast iron pan with a large cooking surface that offers excellent heat distribution and retention for consistent, even cooking. Made in a foundry in Tennessee, this pan is designed to be carried easily with large handles for a safer grip.
With an unusual toffee-colored finish, this 16-inch non-stick pan promises a smooth release with no sticking crusts. Design-wise, the perforations let the heat circulate for a properly cooked crust. Made of heavy-gauge steel, this heats evenly without hot spots, and when you've slid your pizza off the pan, it can go into the dishwasher.
This pre-seasoned cast iron pan measures 14-inches in diameter for a large cooking surface that promises an evenly baked, golden crust. As with the other cast iron options we've highlighted, you can use this on the stove or even on a BBQ too. If you're a bit nervous about investing, rest assured this comes with a ten-year manufacturer warranty.
