They make it easier to put pizzas in the oven however, they aren’t essential. Also cooking pizzas on the brick base of your pizza oven will always lead to a crispy base.

Gently place the spinner under the base of the pizza and with a gentle flick of your wrist spin the pizza 90 degrees

We highly recommend a cover for all BBQs, not just wood fired pizza ovens. However if your pizza oven is under cover it may not be necessary. 

Pizza tray with holes or pizza mesh trays have their place. This type of pizza tray is ideal when you are cooking pizza in your conventional oven as it allows the base of your pizza to crisp up from the heat in the oven. If you have a pizza stone then it is better to cook directly on the stone surface. 

We recommend the range of Flaming Coals Cast Iron cookware inside a wood fired pizza oven. They have been specially designed to handle the intensity of heat and will deliver incredible results.
