Handle Length and Kitchen Setup

How Commercial Pizza Peels Work
Pizza peels function as extended hands for pizzaiolos, keeping a safe distance from blistering ovens. The flat paddle portion—made from wood, aluminum, or composite materials—slides effortlessly under raw or cooked pizzas. Wood peels are ideal for launching raw dough (their porous surface prevents sticking), while metal peels excel at retrieving finished pizzas thanks to their thin, beveled edges. The long handles—typically 30-150cm—provide crucial distance from 400°C+ oven temperatures. Simply dust with flour or semolina, slide under your creation, and with a quick flick of the wrist, your pizza transfers seamlessly to the oven stone!
Trusted Insights from Marco Romano

"Don’t skimp on your pizza peel – a good one slides under your pie like a Vespa on cobblestones. Go for a lightweight, heat-resistant peel and you’ll be serving up perfect pizzas without the juggling act."
Safety Guidelines
- Heat Awareness Keep peel heads away from direct flames—prevents scorching.
- Clean Handles Wipe handles regularly—prevents slipping during use.
- Proper Technique Use quick, confident movements—avoids dropped pizzas.
- Oven Clearance Check height clearance before launching—prevents roof collisions.
- Heat Protection Use heat-resistant gloves with short-handled peels.
- Burn Prevention Keep peel heads elevated when not in use—hot surfaces alert.
Top Tips for Using Commercial Pizza Peels
Keep your wooden peels dry and lightly sanded to prevent sticking, and dust generously with semolina or flour before each use. For metal peels, try chilling them slightly before retrieving hot pizzas—this reduces steam and prevents sticking. Practice a quick forward-backward 'jiggle' motion when launching pizzas to ensure clean release. Store peels hanging vertically rather than flat to prevent warping, and oil wooden peels occasionally with food-grade mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking.
Benefits of Using Commercial Pizza Peels
- Staff Safety Maintains safe distance from 400°C+ oven temperatures.
- Efficient Service Speeds up cooking process—handles more orders hourly.
- Pizza Quality Ensures proper placement for even cooking—perfect crusts.
