Favorite Pizza Serving Pan

[hoovarmin]

I'm just getting started with Pizza and want to serve it on nice metal pans when I take it off the pizza stone. Aluminum, or Steel? Or some other, third thing?

I don't have to worry about a serving pan, the ingrates shove me outta the way and stomp on my carcass while grabbing off the cutting board....

My experience too, every weekend....I watch them start eating thru the window while I am still on the deck cooking mine....

I have these and think they're fine. At the time they were a few bucks a piece. I have at least 4 of them.

Ok you guys got me hooked with the bar pies. That recipe by Kenji describes EXACTLY the type of crust my wife loves. Thin and crispy. I'll be trying it soon.

These Pizza Peels are really nice and affordable. Sold at most kitchen stores.

I do not have these, but just for serving these might help keep the crust crisp.

Also, for presentation and ease of serving at the table, a pizza pan stand could help.

I vote some other third thing! Yessir. 🕶

[hoovarmin]

I knew you would!

LOL !

I use cutting boards just a little larger than a pizza. Cutting and serving on the same piece saves a transfer, which is trickier when the pizza is in 8 pieces.

[radshop]

I'm confused (in general, and also on this topic.) Are you saying you would move the pizza to a metal pan, then cut it (ouch for both the cutter and the pan), or cut it on a cutting board, then move it to a metal pan (why?).

I go from pizza oven to a cutting board, and serve on the cutting board.

[Attjack]

I cook a pizza and slide it onto a pan then pick up another pizza and go cook that.

[hoovarmin]

Since I have 7 kids, 5 with significant others who eat with us regularly, I have to make 3-5 pizzas to feed them, and that's really an appetizer. I don't have that many cutting boards, and I just use a cheap pizza cutting wheel, so if it doesn't make it I just buy another one. I should probably just stick to pork shoulders, lol.

[radshop]

OK - that makes sense. Go with what works. For me, even when making 10-12 pizzas in one night, I never used more than 2 cutting boards. If the crowd isn't clearing it out fast enough, then I get to grab a slice, slurp some beer, and ask folks if they're still hungry.
