The pizza stone that turned the bestseller list — and pulled off our top sales spot last year. Home pizza is a perpetual disappointment because home ovens never get hot enough to crisp the bottom crust. The Emile Henry stone fixes that by absorbing oven heat and pushing it back into the dough — the same way a stone-deck pizzeria oven does. The result: a crisp, blistered bottom and an airy, chewy crumb. The kind of pie that makes everyone stop talking for the first slice. The details Made from Emile Henry's Flame Ceramic® — a proprietary high-heat ceramic developed in Marcigny, France, where the company has been firing Burgundian clay since 1850. Flame Ceramic conducts heat differently than the cordierite stones you'll find at the hardware store: it holds heat longer, absorbs less moisture (so it won't go soggy under wet doughs), and is lighter to handle. It tolerates up to 500°F and is rated for direct gas grill use. At 14.5 inches across, it fits a generous personal pizza, a sheet of focaccia, or a no-knead boule. The smooth glazed surface releases dough cleanly when properly floured — no parchment needed — and wipes clean with a damp cloth. Unlike unglazed cordierite stones, it goes in the dishwasher. Use it for pizza, bread baking, grilling vegetables, or as a serving slab. It moves between oven, grill, and table without fuss. Made in Marcigny since 1850. 10-year guarantee.
