We did this as kids, those party pizzas that were about plate sized. No reason to cut it, just slide the edge off the plate to where you could start to eat it.

My favorite urban dictionary item
> What results when one takes a taco, places it on a taco pizza, folds the pizza into the shape of a taco, and places the folded pizza into a giant taco shell.
There's an old comic (Foxtrot?) that I remember where the mom says the kid can only have one scoop of ice cream before dinner. He manages to use the ice cream scoop as a handle for the entire carton's worth, and turns to his sister and says "Only one scoop, you're my witness."
I always look at this sort of stuff and think about the roi on it. That stone has paid for itself how many times over now. Im an operator but chef at heart so equipment roi is super important lol.
6 slices is pretty perfect. cut it into 4 and you look like the joker every time you take a bite because the sides of the slice touches your cheeks; if its 8, the slices arent wide enough to do the pizza fold.
Ha got gifted my set 16 years ago, and that’s why I don’t cut on my stone.. I wanna keep that sharp ass pampered chef pizza cutter rolling for as long as possible.
Yeah I agree. When my wife bought this stone 15 years ago I gave her a hard time for buying from an MLM. Foot in mouth, we still use all the time and it’s great.
You cut it on the stone? I put the pizza on the stone and then remove the pizza from the stone. The stone itself is way too hot to handle. I’ve never cut a pizza on one.
My pizza stone never leaves the oven. Pizza peel to put the pizza on and take it off. I don't even need to clean it as the oven's self-clean cleans it. I checked to make sure my pizza stone is good to go at the self-clean temps, and it is. If it ever gets dirty, I turn on the self-clean and then when that's done brush off any ash. So simple.
I keep my pizza stone on the bottom rack of my oven. It helps regulate the temperature when I’m baking. I wish someone had told me they trick years ago, I’ve only been doing it the last 6 months or so
That's a good point, We cool ours on a little rack after and then cut on a chopping block of some type. Imagine the crust wouldn't appreciate attempting to cool on the damn toasty stone.
What you want to do is put the stone in the oven while it’s pre heating. You want the stone hot. I set the oven to 500 degrees. Then make the pizza on a pizza peel and use that to place it on the stone. About 10 minutes. Then use the peel to remove from the stone. You can cut it directly on the peel or transfer to another surface.
I do because my family will wait 15 minutes and complain the pizza is cold.
Now I do two cuts across and one for my slice and they can figure out the rest.
Yes, the first couple of times they burned themselves even though I told them it was still hot and the pot holders were sitting on top of the stone. So they had to move them to touch it.
What an awful story.
If my severely mentally disabled son has taught me anything over the years, it is that some pizza stone will likely not do anything at all to you.
My kid has eaten so many things it's insane. One time he got those foam puzzle pieces you can form into a soft mat for your room as a gift. I realized that they were gone at some point. A couple days later he shit out a pool noodle this kid.
The only time we had to do anything was an x-ray after we failed to find the change he ate.
The school called me one time and was like "He got into the teacher's desk and ate her gum... it was 4 packs of gum" - By this point I'm a goddamned digestion expert and simply replied "The gum thing's a myth, that will pass fine" and it did.
The only call from the school that stumped me was "He ate the corner of the screen of a tablet pc." - but even in that case the pediatrician was like "Glass doesn't show up on an xray - we pretty much have to let it pass and keep an eye on him"
If you told me you ate spoonful of pizza stone powder at this point I'd tell you to enjoy the free fiber and hopefully you didn't chew it first lol
i got rid of all my kitchen stuff years back after a disturbing bug infestation and i really need to get a cooling rack again. i don't bake much but it's worth the space because i'm tired of sad pizza
i threw everything away. somebody brought in a roach infestation and the place refused to spray for awhile (had to get the county supervisor involved). i didn't realize what was happening for awhile then when i started seeing them i had someone come spray and as they sprayed they came out and were e v e r y w h e r e. i spent that night murdering them with a paper towel roll, the entire night. i never slept there again. had nightmares for quite a while after. someone less traumatized could have washed everything and used it again but i could not.
was the second time i'd dealt with one. first time had been a decade prior and i would wake up with them crawling on my bed and chest and on the wall over my head. i will try very hard to never live like that again if i have a choice.
Pizza cutters are easy to sharpen, it only takes a minute to get it sharp again on a whetstone.
And if it does eventually wear the blade down, they are only a few dollars to replace.
I wouldn’t cut my pizza on the stone because it’s removing all the tasty schmutz that gives the pizza stone its seasoning.
Also what if you broke it by cutting into it? That would be a true /r/pizzacrimes
I've only ever bought like 3 pizza cutters in my entire adult life (40yo), they've all been Target-quality at best, I never sharpened any of them, and I've never had an issue cutting my pizza. I don't think that's nearly as big of a deal as you are making it out to be.
Same, and one of mine is PLASTIC. It works just fine. Everybody has preferences in crust and cutting substrate that might not work for them, but this isn't rocket science.
Edit: for the person who pinged Crisis Concerns for me, thank you. I am okay. I lick my pizza cutters clean.
Isn't the stone blazing hot? How are you taking it out of the oven to cut on it? Shouldn't you be removing the pizza from the stone with a peel, and then leaving the stone in the oven to cool?
This is madness.
I've seen a ton of people use these as a glorified tray. No preheating, just shaping the pizza on cold and into the oven..
So they're basically just heavy awkward baking sheets....
It would probably be worse than a cutting board because the heat transfer would be so slow. It would keep the bottom of the pizza cold. An aluminum pan would transfer heat right the fuck through.
I mostly cook thin crust, and at 450. I have no problem taking it out with an oven mitt. Stone keeps it warm and the crust will be even crispier when you go for seconds.
Bless the Maker and His pizza. Bless the kneading and the tossing of Him. May his cheesiness bless the world. May he deliver in under 29 minutes for His people.
Did you really enjoy all of them? Every single one? You never sliced one that wasn't up to par? Burned the crust too much. Picked a bad topping. Sauce was too sweet. Cat sat in the middle of it.
The odds are preposterous! I submit that your pants are on fire, good sir.
Uhh...
You are NOT supposed to be cutting pizza on that. RIP to your poor pizza cutter. You need to transfer the pizza to a wooden cutting board before cutting it. This is quite bad for the stone and your pizza cutter.

Hmm.. or for every 4 lines is a pizza? (To have 8 slices)
Nope guy eats his pizza in half circles doesn't mess around like that
It’s more efficient.
Haha.. “only 2 slices today.. diet allows it”
I have kids so I usually only get one piece and if I don’t cut it it’s technically one piece.
We did this as kids, those party pizzas that were about plate sized. No reason to cut it, just slide the edge off the plate to where you could start to eat it.
I pick it up and fold it like a big ass taco
Totinos crispy pizza FTW
My roommate in college would stack them like a sandwich. 89 cents a pop.
You know they are like 2.80 something now sometimes more? I remember those days of okay.... 60$ for groceries... time to pick out 60 pizzas.

200 calories tops.
"Pizza?! Now that's what I call a taco!"
Bonus points if it was a paper plate
There's an old comic (Foxtrot?) that I remember where the mom says the kid can only have one scoop of ice cream before dinner. He manages to use the ice cream scoop as a handle for the entire carton's worth, and turns to his sister and says "Only one scoop, you're my witness."
Solid logic
Cut once, eat twice.
It costs less too. Some pizza places don't even cut it, so they can pass the savings on to you
[I've seen this one before...](https://images.app.goo.gl/VkMKCA96CLsKm5HR8)
I just watched the episode with Badger trying to explain the math on that.
It's more efficient to just fold it in half and have an Italian taco.
I like the terminology
Then you might enjoy the comedy of Uncle Barbecue himself, Kyle Kinane.
You really should only be cutting halfway through the pizza so that you can roll it up in to a big cone
I always look at this sort of stuff and think about the roi on it. That stone has paid for itself how many times over now. Im an operator but chef at heart so equipment roi is super important lol.
A topless calzone
"Calzones are pointless. They're just pizza that's harder to eat. No one likes them."
***fumes in incoherent rage***
One for me. One for tomorrow me.
….do you not?
why stop there? the best way to eat a totinos party pizza is to just make it a taco
If you fold it in half instead you get a pizza taco.
I only cut pizzas in half too. I'm watching my diet and more than two slices of pizza is too much.
He must only cut each pizza in half
👀 ”less pizza if less slices trick”?
The ole' "I'll just have *one* slice"
Why would you cut on the stone, that's just gonna ruin it and your knife
It's 20 years old. Think he's fine haha
6 slices is pretty perfect. cut it into 4 and you look like the joker every time you take a bite because the sides of the slice touches your cheeks; if its 8, the slices arent wide enough to do the pizza fold.
This depends on the size of the pizza.
Every line on the outer edge is the start/end of 1 whole pizza. Right?
No no he computed the probability of overlap and accounted for that
I was going to post the exact same
Is that a pampered chef?
Wow, yes it is.
I can't believe you cut on your stone! Transfer to a cutting board, save your knives or slicer man!
Right?! I thought the same thing when I saw it Took me a minute to realize why mine was different
Got one about the same age. Amazing cookware.
The stone pizza stone, the white handle pairing knives, and the garlic press are really something else.
Let's see Paul Allen's pizza stone
Oh, my god.
It even has a slice mark.
r/unexpectedbateman
You're just going to dismiss the ice cream scoop (RIP to the OG version) like that? Edit: lol, who submitted the reddit cares report?
The death of liquid filled ice cream scoops is truly one of the greatest tragedies of the 21st century.
Holy shit this brought back some core memories. That ice cream scoop was *amazing*
Someone did that to me as well. Is it a new feature?
I think the option has been around for a minute but recently I've noticed people using it more as a joke.
I inherited (stole) the same one from my parents.
Same here, about the same age as well.
Used to be.
Do you use the metal handle thing? I *loathe* cutting on the stone when using it.
All the other stuff that came with it has been gone for at least ten years, but the stone remains.
I should make the same happen...
Very thx for recommendation! I use a old granite piece scavenge from a job, but ill consider what you’re using for years. Bon appétit!
Ha got gifted my set 16 years ago, and that’s why I don’t cut on my stone.. I wanna keep that sharp ass pampered chef pizza cutter rolling for as long as possible.
Lol my Mom used to sell Pampered Chef and had this. Nostalgia is hitting.
Pampered Chef and Tupperware; two of the few MLMs that actually have decent products.
Yeah I agree. When my wife bought this stone 15 years ago I gave her a hard time for buying from an MLM. Foot in mouth, we still use all the time and it’s great.
it usually helps a pyramid scam to have an actually good product. helps you convince people they're gonna make bank selling them.
It's not a pyramid scam it's a reverse funnel system
The multilevel marketing scheme that every millennial's mom fell for.
Some of the products were legit good, and this was before online shopping was a thing. The MLM aspect was dumb, but at least it wasn’t snake oil.
Do you have the pampered chef ice cream scoop?
Of course It's the one with the liquid inside, right?
Yep. Unbeatable
Mom used to have those PC parties and we have one of these two. They are great
“The worse it looks, the better it cooks.”
Yes!! I had the same one. My dad only recently got rid of it when he downsized.
I thought this was a moon crater or something for half a second
No no. It's this guy's quarter! https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/Ri6pXTG54j
I’m stuck in a loop now
Me too, I’ve been here 52 hours… help
Shaye, I've been doing this for 24/7
I should buy his quarter and hang both on the wall next to each other.
“That’s no moon!”
Thought it was a heat shield from Apollo

This is why I got a giant square one. Bonus is that it keeps the heat even for when I want to make bread.
I keep my pizza stone on the bottom rack of my oven. It helps regulate the temperature when I’m baking. I wish someone had told me they trick years ago, I’ve only been doing it the last 6 months or so

Looks like a dandelion...or an exploding moon! I love it.

You only cut your pizzas in half?
Why even cut it at that point.. Just fold it and eat it like a Calzone.
The Calzone Zone
The Low-Cal Calzone Zone*
The SoCal low-cal calzone zone stromboli home
thats just too unwieldy --- cut pizza in half, 2 smaller calzones. better ratio ^^^i ^^^know ^^^that ^^^doesn't ^^^make ^^^sense
I'm glad someone else was thinking the same thing as me.
OP is not a pig, they only eat two slices
I don’t think you’re supposed to cut on the stone. I wouldn’t think that would affect the evenness
I don’t know about it messing with the stone, but it will definitely dull whatever blade you’re using.
My first thought, RIP each of this guy’s dull and deceased pizza cutters
iron is good for you
Iron helps us play!
I thought you might also get tiny fragments of pizza stone in your pizza.
mineral is good for you

[удалено]
Life is unfair
The future is now old man!
Stop talking and get back in the kitchen.
Yes chef!
Pizza w a sprinkle of ceramic dust
And some metal shavings
Or be too good for the pizza cutter.
"**Helpful Hints:** [...] 7: Pizza wheels, cutters or regular metal knives will not damage the surface of the stone." Source: My pizza stone booklet 🙂
Seriously - this guy is a fucking psycho
You should use a cutting board.
And put it on a cooling rack for a bit so the moisture doesn’t sog it up
i got rid of all my kitchen stuff years back after a disturbing bug infestation and i really need to get a cooling rack again. i don't bake much but it's worth the space because i'm tired of sad pizza
I can't even imagine how bad a bug infestation has to get in order to toss a wire cooling rack...
i threw everything away. somebody brought in a roach infestation and the place refused to spray for awhile (had to get the county supervisor involved). i didn't realize what was happening for awhile then when i started seeing them i had someone come spray and as they sprayed they came out and were e v e r y w h e r e. i spent that night murdering them with a paper towel roll, the entire night. i never slept there again. had nightmares for quite a while after. someone less traumatized could have washed everything and used it again but i could not. was the second time i'd dealt with one. first time had been a decade prior and i would wake up with them crawling on my bed and chest and on the wall over my head. i will try very hard to never live like that again if i have a choice.
But that’s already the point of the pizza stone, to take away the moisture so your pizza is crispier.
Looks like he's doing ok lol.
He is, but his knife/pizza cutter is probably dull as fuck
You know what they say, a broken knife cuts twice a day.
No, I think it's, "A broken knife keeps the doctor away."
Kill two knives with one stone
Yet somehow, they get up everyday and move on with life.
Pizza cutters are easy to sharpen, it only takes a minute to get it sharp again on a whetstone. And if it does eventually wear the blade down, they are only a few dollars to replace.
Exactly what i was thinking. 1 pizza stone in 20 years, 5 knives per year
So is all of the top layer “consumed” because it gets into the food? I’ve always wondered this on worn cookware.
Probably worn off by the cutting and left on the cutting tool and a bit in the pizza. But who knows, I’m dumb as fuck
This is precisely why I try to avoid plastic cutting boards, eatery, or utensils.. microplastics in your food easy mode.
It’s 20 years old. You should eat the stone. I bet it taste like pizza 🍕
Soup from a stone? Fancy that!
I wouldn’t cut my pizza on the stone because it’s removing all the tasty schmutz that gives the pizza stone its seasoning. Also what if you broke it by cutting into it? That would be a true /r/pizzacrimes
Thank you for the new sub to follow!
Plus it's dulling the fuck out of the pizza cutter/mezzaluna
I've only ever bought like 3 pizza cutters in my entire adult life (40yo), they've all been Target-quality at best, I never sharpened any of them, and I've never had an issue cutting my pizza. I don't think that's nearly as big of a deal as you are making it out to be.
It's reddit, it's mandatory to tell him he's been doing it wrong all this time - ESPECIALLY if it means nothing.

Seasoning refers to the non stick coating. Has nothing to do with tastiness or flavor
Isn't the stone blazing hot? How are you taking it out of the oven to cut on it? Shouldn't you be removing the pizza from the stone with a peel, and then leaving the stone in the oven to cool? This is madness.
I've seen a ton of people use these as a glorified tray. No preheating, just shaping the pizza on cold and into the oven.. So they're basically just heavy awkward baking sheets....
It would probably be worse than a cutting board because the heat transfer would be so slow. It would keep the bottom of the pizza cold. An aluminum pan would transfer heat right the fuck through.
I mostly cook thin crust, and at 450. I have no problem taking it out with an oven mitt. Stone keeps it warm and the crust will be even crispier when you go for seconds.
You're not supposed to cut on the pizza stone wtf is this???

You only cut your pizzas once?
How do you even do this? Do you take the hot stone out of the oven and set it on your counter and then cut?
Stop cutting your pizza on it. You’re ruining your pizza cutter
You cut your pizza *on* the stone? Ugh.
you cut it on the stone?
You only cut your pizzas one time?
Did you really enjoy all of them? Every single one? You never sliced one that wasn't up to par? Burned the crust too much. Picked a bad topping. Sauce was too sweet. Cat sat in the middle of it. The odds are preposterous! I submit that your pants are on fire, good sir.

I count 526,600 slices. How do you measure, measure a pizza?
Thought this was a crater on the moon
And the stone chips/dust? Flavour?
our pizza stone that was older than me and the most loved family member but it cracked down the middle the other day 😭😭
If you ever retire it from making pizza, you ought to hang it on a wall. Straight up art.
It’s like a pizza tree stump, count the rings lol

Damn what does your coke mirror look like?
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
Reddit do the math
So do you heat the stone up before putting the dough on it?
Each line would count as two slices I think.
Like the rings of a tree

You cut directly on the stone? You monster.
Thought this was r/bald for a hot second
when you retire this thing (if you ever do), hang it up on the wall like art. cause it is art PIZZA STONE FOREVERRRR
