Making your own pizza is fun, but let’s face it: It’s hard to bake a pie as tasty as the one served at your favorite pizzeria.

To really emulate restaurant-quality pizza, you’ll need a pizza stone. It may seem too simple a solution, but placing your pizza on a large stone in the oven will help immensely. That’s because the stone stores and distributes heat better than metal or glass, so your pizza will be cooked evenly—and crispy where you want it. Just don’t forget to apply some flour or corn meal to the surface beforehand—otherwise, food might stick.
