Product Description: This deep-dish pizza baking stone is made by one of the oldest potteries operating in the United States. Made from natural clay, it measures 11 by 2-in. deep, perfect for those Chicago-style pies! Or, use it for a deep dish apple or peach pie. It evenly distributes the oven heat and absorbs moisture released from the crust when baking. For best results, place the stone in the oven and preheat it for 20 minutes before using.
Amazon.com Review: Updating the historic tradition of stone baking for today's household kitchen, Sassafras offers a deep dish baker boasting even heat distribution and moisture absorption. Dry heat generated from stone produces crispier dough, making it ideal for preparing pizza, pies, and quiches. Although microwave- and convection-safe, leveraging the stone's qualities is best accomplished with use in a traditional oven. Stoneware care consists primarily of avoiding thermal shock--extreme changes in temperature--and hand washing with hot water. It is best to avoid using cleaning agents as the stone may retain and pass on a soapy flavor. The scratch-resistant dish measures 11 by 11 by 2 inches and can double as a serving piece to keep food warm longer. -- Amy Arnold

Great product. Although a little too small for our crew. I will most likely buying another one as we have such a large family. Does wonderfully for making good deep dish pizzas.

This item serves perfectly to replace the bottom of the Sassafras "La Cloche" Clay Baker, which had broken. I love baking yeast breads on/in clay, so they work wonderfully and at a moderate price.
Rating: - makes the best focaccia
love this new baker! have several others by the same maker and love them all.
Rating: - good replacement
the bottom of the sassafras cloche breaks frequently. this is an excellent replacement. the cloche top and this (or the original base) are outstanding for baking bread - the difference with and without the cloche is truely amazing.
Rating: - Crust perfection
I make a lot of homemade pizza but I was always slightly unhappy with the sogginess of the center of the pizza. Voila! With the Sassafras deep dish pizza pan I have a perfect crispy crust with every single bite of pizza.
