If you’ve ever watched someone toss dough into the air and thought, “I could never do that,” here’s a secret: the perfect pizza night isn’t about chef-level skill—it’s about having the right tools. The right pizza oven accessories make every step easier, from sliding it off the peel and cutting into that first bubbling slice.

Whether you’re hosting your first backyard pizza party or perfecting your Neapolitan crust technique, accessories improve the full experience and help you deliver restaurant quality at home. This guide covers the essentials—what each tool does, how it improves your pizza game, and what to look for when buying.

Why accessories matter

When your oven can reach 850°F, precision matters. Without the right gear, you’ll fight with dough toppings that slide or crusts that don’t quite crisp. Accessories turn a learning curve into a rhythm: launch, rotate, check, slice, repeat.

They’re also a big part of what makes pizza-making fun. The moment you slide your first pie onto a stone and hear that soft sizzle—it clicks. You get why people become obsessed. The right tools don’t just make better pizza; they make better pizza nights.

Accessory #1: The pizza stone or steel

Why it matters

Every great pizza starts from the bottom up. Your crust’s texture—crisp edges, soft interior, that delicate balance of chew and char—all comes down to how evenly your pizza cooks. A good baking surface absorbs and holds heat, ensuring that signature, pizzeria-style bite.

What to look for

• Material: Cordierite is a standout. It resists cracking at high temperatures and distributes heat evenly. Steel heats even faster, though it can brown dough a bit quicker.

• Thickness: A heavier stone means better heat retention and more consistent results between pies.

• Size and fit: Make sure the stone fits your oven without restricting airflow.

How it enhances your pizza

A preheated stone helps the crust cook from the moment it hits the surface, locking in bubbles and structure. Without one, even the best dough will feel slightly underdone.

If you’re using the pizza stone that comes with your Current® oven, you’re already ahead. It’s engineered for even heating, durability, and that “set it and forget it” reliability. Think of it as your crust’s best friend, consistent, loyal, and quietly responsible for that perfect bottom.

Accessory #2: The pizza peel

Why it matters

The peel is the unsung hero of pizza night. It’s what makes the difference between sliding your pie gracefully into the oven and launching it halfway across your deck.

What to look for

• Material: Wood grips raw dough better; aluminum or steel glides under baked pizzas more easily. Many pros keep both.

• Size: It should fit your oven but leave enough clearance to maneuver.

• Handle: Long enough to protect you from the heat, but light enough to feel like an extension of your hand.

How it enhances your pizza

When your dough is resting on a well-floured peel, it becomes easier to shape, top, and transfer without stress. You’ll notice fewer torn edges and more consistent bakes because your launch is clean and confident.

The Current® Pizza Peel features a smooth, tapered edge that slides effortlessly under your dough, plus an insulated handle that feels balanced, but not bulky. Once you’ve used it, you’ll wonder how you ever made pizza without one.

Accessory #3: The pizza spatula

Why it matters

Serving with your hands isn’t always the best solution, especially when a pizza just left a super hot oven. A good pizza spatula makes it easy to serve up slices and doesn’t add stress to your post-meal clean-up routine. The Current® Pizza Spatula is designed for this exact purpose: sleek, lightweight, and sturdy enough to stand the test of time. 

What to look for

• Durability: Stainless steel or high-temp aluminum for longevity.

• Slim design: A thin, flat head slips easily under the crust without disturbing toppings.

• Comfort: A lightweight handle keeps you agile when working quickly near high heat.

Accessory #4: The pizza cutter

Why it matters

There’s a special kind of heartbreak in pulling a perfect pizza out of the oven—only to drag the cheese halfway across the crust because your cutter is dull. A good cutter gives you that satisfying, one-motion slice that keeps your toppings intact and your crust crisp.

What to look for

• Blade sharpness: Stainless steel with a fine edge for clean cuts.

• Grip: Ergonomic handles for leverage and control.

• Maintenance: Easy to clean and/or disassemble for long-term performance.

How it enhances your pizza

A sharp, sturdy cutter ensures every slice looks photo-worthy and serves easily. The Current® Pizza Cutter offers sharpness with a comfortable, balanced grip, which is perfect for portioning pies right out of the oven or at the table.

Accessory #5: Serving trays 

Why it matters

After you pull a pizza from the oven, the surface you set it on affects the texture of your crust. Too cold, and steam makes the bottom soggy. Too thin, and you lose heat before slicing. A proper baking tray or board preserves that ideal crispness.

What to look for

• Material: Stone, metal, or thick wood that can handle heat but won’t sap it.

• Size: Match it to your typical pizza diameter—too small, and your slices hang off the edge.

• Grip: Handles or raised edges help carry your pizza safely to the table.

How it enhances your pizza

A dedicated tray keeps crust integrity intact and protects countertops. The Current® Pizza Trays make serving as enjoyable as baking–clean, modern, and effortless.

The science (and a little art) behind it all

Every accessory you use supports a specific part of the pizza-making process:

• The stone handles heat distribution.

• The peel ensures smooth launches.

• The cutter and tray perfect the finish.

Together, they work like instruments in a band. Each tool may be simple on its own, but together they create rhythm and balance.

Chef Alton Brown once said, “The only unitasker you should have in your kitchen is a fire extinguisher.” His point? Every good tool should earn its space—and Current® pizza accessories do. They’re functional, beautiful, and essential for anyone who takes pizza night seriously.

Putting it all together

Picture your next pizza night: dough prepped, toppings ready, friends hovering by the oven waiting for that first slice. You dust your peel and launch the pizza effortlessly to cheers. The crust blisters perfectly; the cheese bubbles and caramelizes. A few minutes later, your pizza cutter glides through like butter. That’s what these accessories do–they turn pizza-making from a chore into an experience.

Owning a great pizza oven is only half the equation. The right oven tools for homemade pizza give you control, precision, and consistency–everything you need for pies that impress every single time.
