Best Pizza Peels TechnoBuffalo 2021
A pizza peel is a kitchen essential for pie-lovers, and can also make an excellent gift for an Italian food-loving buddy. The first thing you need to consider when perusing the pizza peel marketplace is whether you want to go down the wood route or head straight to metalsville. Arguably, metal is the more professional option and offers a thinner design. However, wood has its merits too. It's more aesthetically pleasing, can double as a chopping board and you can take a wooden peel straight to the table to serve.

Foldable friend: Chef Pomodoro Aluminum Metal Pizza Peel
Staff PickThis ticks all our boxes with a thin, commercial-grade aluminum head, but a wooden handle for heat protection. This boasts the ability to fold up to 12 by 14 inches for easy storage. When you need to extend the peel, you loosen the screw, turn the handle 180-degrees and re-tighten. This gives you a safe-distance-from-the-heat length of 24-inches. Compatible with most specialist pizza ovens, as well as normal household ones, this has a safety back step ledge near the handle to stop pizza sliding off.

This, and the fact that the handle folds neatly in for tidy storage, make it an excellent choice for smaller households or people living alone. It boasts a smooth stainless steel head, great for thin dimensions, a hygienic surface, and easy cleaning.
