That is disappointing. Not sure where else I can get them as I called numerous locations. I'll probably have to settle for getting a pizza stone.

I even called The Tile Shop and they told me they don't sell them. That seems weird since you bought yours there. Maybe the person I was talking to didn't understand what I was talking about. I'll stop by and see what they have. My pizza stone cracked recently and I tossed it. Need something to cook my pizzas with now and I won't go back to a metal pan, no way no how.

And again, if a quarry tile cracks, I don't bum out over it so much because they're cheap. But whatever works - if you're having success with your stone, that's all that matters. And although my own stone is cracked, I still use it for bread, since the two halves still fit together pretty tightly.Pizza Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280665603124117834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-45988568098582030192011-09-07T17:17:45.594-04:002011-09-07T17:17:45.594-04:00Pizza Guy:

I use a 5/8" stone that transfers heat more consistently than the thinner tiles. I too use Peter Reinharts recipe, and crank the oven to 550 for an hour before baking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-20220997064647668402011-08-15T14:24:38.082-04:002011-08-15T14:24:38.082-04:00Boy ...

You'll need several, obviously. The one slightly tricky part is you'll have to make sure the tiles are snug against each other when you slide the pizza on, but I didn't have any problems.<br />That pizza in the picture was maybe 14 inches across, by the way.Pizza Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280665603124117834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-52810489694412996952011-08-15T11:42:13.461-04:002011-08-15T11:42:13.461-04:00Great idea, what are the dimensions of the tiles y...Great idea, what are the dimensions of the tiles you used as your pizza (Looks great)seems large?<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-55874255139148790712011-08-15T10:14:00.932-04:002011-08-15T10:14:00.932-04:00Yeah, the salesman told me that a number of people...Yeah, the salesman told me that a number of people have bought them there for baking, so if you ask for quarry tiles for a home oven they should know exactly what you're talking about.Pizza Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280665603124117834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-51114327243286072212011-08-15T09:22:52.618-04:002011-08-15T09:22:52.618-04:00Awesome!
