Emile Henry Flame Top Pizza Stone 14.5ft - Crispy, Grill-Ready Crusts

Our review of the Emile Henry Flame Top Pizza Stone 14.5' finds it best for home cooks and backyard grillers who want a reliably crisp crust without the fuss of a professional pizza oven. The single biggest reason to buy is its glazed, micro-crazed surface that mimics an oven floor to produce consistently well baked pizzas, whether used in a conventional oven, under the broiler, or directly on a gas, charcoal or wood grill up to 900 degrees F. It is clearly designed to bridge indoor and outdoor pizza cooking while staying easy to clean and durable enough for everyday use.

Key Features

• Made in France: Crafted from all natural materials and produced with Emile Henry's Flame technology for consistent thermal performance.
• High heat tolerance: Safe to use in ovens and on grills up to 900 degrees F so it handles very high baking temperatures without loss of function.
• Glazed, micro-crazed surface: The glaze promotes a crisp, well baked crust and allows cutting directly on the stone without scratching the surface.
• Grill and oven versatility: Designed for conventional and convection ovens, under the broiler, and on gas, charcoal or natural wood grills to turn a barbecue into an outdoor pizza oven.
• Easy to clean and durable finish: Dishwasher safe and resistant to scratches, with a glossy appearance that many users say cleans up quickly with soap and water.
• Practical handles: Built-in handles make it easier to place and remove the stone from hot ovens or grills.

Who It's For

The Emile Henry Flame Top Pizza Stone is ideal for home cooks who want restaurant-style crusts and for people who frequently cook on a backyard grill to expand their outdoor menu. It suits owners of conventional and convection ovens who also value a glazed surface that is simple to maintain and can be cut on directly.

It is less appropriate for cooks who need a lightweight, portable stone for frequent camping use or those who prefer an unglazed stone for specific dough recipes that absorb moisture differently. Also, avoid using it on stovetops, as the manufacturer does not recommend that application.
