Product Description
A baking stone for home oven use reminiscent of the stone baking ovens of earlier times. Over 30 years ago the Old Stone Oven Company first introduced the baking store for home use and it is still the best. Thicker than other stones available, it has a porosity and heat retention that is perfect for a good crust. The Old Stone Oven Pizza Stone duplicates crispy pizzeria quality pizza – crust and all- in a standard kitchen oven. The Stone can also be used to bake… More >>
Old Stone Oven 4444 Pizza for Two 8 1/2 Inch Round Pizza Stones
I bought this set around 1 year ago. I have not used it very much due to the limited kinds of foods you can bake on it. It works pretty good for pizza. The product description says not to bake high-fat foods on it because it will smoke & give off bad oders, so I’ve only baked pizza on it & reheated non-greasy foods. Evidentally over time it has absorbed something because the last time I used it, it smoked & gave off really bad oders. I had to air out my whole house. I’ll probably just throw it away & continue to use my Pampered Chef stoneware that you can bake ANYTHING on. The only reason I bought this is because P.Chef doesn’t have any stoneware in this size.

I make pizza at least once a week for dinner. That’s the easy part – each person wants a very different pizza, which is difficult with a large stone. These are the perfect size for individual pizzas. Great product, shipped exactly per terms. Will buy more for parties etc.

I use my pizza stones under cast iron dutch ovens to bake specialty breads. This keeps the bottom of the bread from burning. I am very happy with these stones.

Need a smaller stone for use in convention oven? This one is almost too small. Frozen “individual” pizza just barely fits; if anything bubbles over, it literally bubbles over onto the oven floor. Otherwise, does as nice a job of cooking the pizza as the larger, standard size stone.

I purchased these stones when I was trying to come up with something that my sweetie and I can make together since I’m a vegetarian and he is not. It was a great idea, we can make them together and both get exactly what we want. We have had a lot of fun perfecting our his-and-her pizza recipes from our own crispy crust recipe to our proprietary cheese blend
I’ve owned Pampered Chef stones in the past and find these to be more durable and a heck of a lot cheaper. I wouldn’t waste my money on Pampered Chef stones. These stones are a great value, I am very pleased.
Despite the no-fatty-foods warning, we did put oil on the stones once to see how it affected the crust – it didn’t smoke or smell or do any damage to the stones…it basically just soaked in. The included crust recipe is fantasic for a crusty-crust and, of course, it is the perfect size for two pizzas. With just a tiny bit of corn meal on the stones there is no sticking problem.
The instructions say to assemble the pizzas and then move them to the stones, which is messy and destructive. We assemble ours on the stones.
We have enjoyed our stones so much that we’ve given them for birthday gifts and bridal shower gifts. Seriously, can you think of a better bridal shower gift than pizza stones for two???
