Ooni 12-Inch Perforated Pizza Peel

$35

Aluminum peel with perforations that let excess flour fall away. Thin edge slides under dough effortlessly.

The perforations are the key — excess flour causes smoke and burning. This peel launches dough cleanly every single time.

Escali Primo Digital Kitchen Scale

$26

Weighing dough ingredients is essential for consistent results. This scale is accurate to 1g and dead simple.

Why We Love It

Pizza dough is all about ratios. Weighing flour and water instead of measuring cups is the difference between great dough and hockey pucks.

ThermoWorks Infrared Thermometer

$50

Point-and-shoot surface temperature reading. Know exactly when your pizza stone or oven floor hits the right temp.

Why We Love It

Launching dough onto a 500°F stone vs. a 900°F stone gives totally different results. This takes the guesswork out of timing.

$200

Makes pizza dough in 30 seconds — dump flour, water, yeast, and salt, pulse until a ball forms. Faster than any stand mixer.

Why We Love It

For a pizza party, you need 4-6 dough balls. The food processor makes each one in under a minute. It's the fastest way to prep for a crowd.
