    Like previous posters, I have been meaning to buy a pizza stone. Got one today in Aldi Churchtown for € 9.99. This is excellent value and if you don't already have one, you get a pizza cutter included. They still had 20-30 when I left>

    Do they make the supermarket fresh pizzas(not frozen) crispier? I thought most domestic ovens cant achieve heat required to really crisp up pizza bases?

    Well the leaflet says put the stone in the oven and raise the heat to 190c. The idea is that the stone absorbs moisture from the base of the pizza and therefore makes it crispy! Will try it out at the weekend. By the way, if you make your own naan breads, max heat and away you go.

    I find they don't,i think they are better left open on the rack to crispen up firstly,but on a plus the stone will keep the pizza hot for a good 20 minutes or so when cooked.
    It is also great for keeping all sorts of food hot,not just pizzas,finger food and naan breads and others or a takeaway left in the foil packs you want to keep hot to get around too,handy thing.

    But you could probably just use any clean flat stone for this? Right?

    They're awful cook blockers.

    Alternatively pick up a sample tile from tie style for free/or a few euros. Make sure its pourous though as it needs to absord the moisture from the pizza.

    Makes a nice crispy homemade pizza! :D
