A useful pizza tool kit is built around a sequence of jobs: prepare the dough, launch the pizza, turn it during the cook, check the oven floor temperature and then cut and serve the finished pizza. Alfresco Outdoors & Heating carries Gozney tools for each stage, including peels, thermometers, dough tools, cutters and protective equipment.
Placement peels such as Gozney Balance, Pro and Venture models are designed to support and launch an uncooked pizza into the oven and retrieve it after cooking. Turning peels such as the Balance, Utility and Venture Turning Peels have a smaller head that makes it easier to rotate the pizza while it remains inside the hot oven. Gozney specifically distinguishes these two jobs in its tool guidance, so a turning peel is not simply a smaller substitute for a placement peel.
An infrared thermometer is useful for checking the temperature of the oven floor before launching a pizza, helping the cook decide whether the stone has recovered between bakes. Once the pizza is finished, the range includes Pizza Rocker, Pizza Cutter and Pizza Server options. Dough Scraper, Dough Cutter, Heat Resistant Gloves and Live-Fire Tongs cover preparation and live-fire handling tasks.
Choose peel size against the oven opening and the pizza size you normally make. If you need a stand, cover, mantel, door or other oven-specific equipment, use Pizza Oven Accessories rather than the Pizza Tools collection.
