However, since the dimensions vary from oven to oven, always keep in mind the basic rule that when the edge of the head of the peel touches the back of the oven, the handle should be a few centimeters outside of it.

Pizza Peel Head

The head of the peel comes in various sizes, and depending on the size you want to give to the pizza you are making, you should choose accordingly. As an indication in Greece, a small pizza is considered to have a diameter of 25 centimeters, a medium one 30 centimeters, a large one 35 centimeters, and Jumbo pizzas are 40 centimeters and above. With this in mind, you should consider that the size of the peel should be similar to the size of the pizza you are making, as a larger head makes it more difficult to handle the peel inside the oven.

3. Circular or Square Pizza Peel

This characteristic does not change the quality of the pizza, but it makes it easier for you. Besides the obvious (use a square peel for a square pizza and a circular peel for a circular pizza), the differences are as follows. A peel with a square head ensures the safest placement of the pizza in the oven, while a circular head allows you to rotate the pizza during baking with greater ease, as it can pick up the pizza from all sides.

4. Perforated or Solid Head Pizza Peel

Here things are simpler. Pizza peels with a solid head are more stable and therefore provide better control for the operator. On the other hand, perforated pizza peels are lighter than solid ones, making it easier for the operator to handle the peel as they don't have to handle a heavier object all day. However, the main advantage of perforated oven peels is that they allow the operator to remove excess flour from the base of the pizza. This evolution of the peel minimizes excess flour and ensures better taste in the pizza, while also saving time in cleaning the oven as there are fewer burnt residues.

In a nutshell

The characteristics to consider are:

• The material of the peel. The pizza shovel, apart from putting and removing the pizza from the oven, is a tool that requires maintenance and must adhere to hygiene rules.
• The size of the shovel and the shape of the head, which should reflect and correspond to the options presented in your menu.
• The length of the handle. Choose based on the size of the oven and kitchen space. For a traditional oven, use a wooden pizza peel, while for a small oven, prefer a pizza spatula.
• Perforated or solid head. If you really want something extra, choose a perforated pizza peel. If you feel comfortable handling the dough on the pizza, prefer a solid peel.
• The weight of the peel. It will be held by an employee all day, so it needs to be held securely and consistently over time, or it may require a lighter peel to do the job faster.
