Pizza Peels in Toronto & Canada

A pizza peel is what gets the pie into a hot oven and back out again, so a busy pizzeria usually keeps a few commercial pizza peels in different materials and sizes. Winco makes the ones we carry, starting with the 36" Long Wood Pizza Peel, which comes with a 12" x 13" or 14" x 15" blade and a built-in hanging hole, for building and launching raw pies. For turning a pizza and pulling it out of the oven, the Aluminum Pizza Peel With Wooden Handle comes in 12" x 14" and 14" x 16" blades with handle lengths from 26" to 36". The 20" Aluminum Pizza and Burger Peel is a shorter 14 gauge option for smaller pies and burgers, and the Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Pizza Gripper lets you pull a hot pan or dish out by the edge. Whether you're outfitting a pizzeria, a bakery, or a pub kitchen in Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, or anywhere else across the GTA and Canada, Phoenix Food Equipment gets pizza peels to your door.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What is a pizza peel used for?

A pizza peel is a long-handled paddle that slides pizzas into a hot oven and lifts them back out, so your hands stay well away from the heat. To launch a pie, dust the blade with a little flour or semolina, build the pizza on it, give it a gentle shake to make sure it moves freely, and slide it onto the oven floor or deck in one motion. A thinner aluminum blade slips easily under a baked pizza, which is why many kitchens use one to turn it partway through the bake and to pull it out. Peels are also handy for moving loaves and flatbreads.

What size pizza peel do I need?

Pick a blade at least as wide as your largest pizza, ideally an inch or two wider, so the dough never hangs over the edge. Winco's wood peel has 12" x 13" and 14" x 15" blades, and its aluminum peel with a wooden handle has 12" x 14" and 14" x 16" blades. Handle length matters too: the 26", 34", and 36" handles keep your hands back from a deep or very hot oven. The 20" Aluminum Pizza and Burger Peel, with a 9" x 6 3/4" flat surface, suits smaller pies, personal pizzas, and burgers.

What is a pizza gripper used for?

A pizza gripper is a short tool that grabs the edge of a hot pan or dish so you can pull it out of the oven without reaching in with an oven mitt. Winco's Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Pizza Gripper is 8" long and made from heavy-duty cast aluminum, so it holds up to daily use in a busy kitchen. It works well with deep-dish and coupe-style pizza pans, and it pairs with a peel: the peel loads and turns the pizza, and the gripper handles the pan.
