No pots or trays used for baking pizza NY style pizza is placed directly on the shelf of the oven. This can be done at home using a pizza stone, but they are ridiculously expensive for what they are and as such are not really a viable proposition. There are viable alternatives to make a pizza in New York. Unglazed quarry tiles are perfect. The theory behind a pizza stone, is that they are so popular acts of stone and brick and Sears removed the body of water and make the pizza dough crispy on the outside and still soft and bread , as in the Centre. These are pizza stones heated in the oven first, but a tile of unglazed stoneware has the same effect.
A word of caution: tiles are perfectly safe if it is made of natural clay and are glazed red. When a tile is glazed chemicals are used in the process and it is important to keep these out of the food chain.
A second caveat is that the stones are not intended to be used in combination with any other material, which means no aluminum foil or something. The aim is that the radiant heat of the oven is absorbed into the tile or stone if you use a sheet, then heat can be reflected and that the stone was not hot enough to absorb moisture from the pizza.
Never, never, never put a hot stone or tiles in cold water that could crack like glass. Allow to cool naturally before washing.
