Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • in a household oven, pizza steel is worlds ahead of pizza stone
  • With a pizza stone or a pizza steel. This can get some heat into the bottom versus a whimpy piece of a steel oven tray.
  • Better yet, a pizza STEEL. 1/4” thick. Heat the oven to 500f with the steel in it for 1h before putting the pizza in
  • Pizza steel works way better than pizza stone.
  • Since I got my steel, my pizza has improved 100%.

Cons

  • No, steel is not better than stone - just different. However, if you have a colder oven, a metal plate (steel or aluminum) can be advantageous, depending on how you like your pizza.
  • Turns out the pizza steel got too hot.

The correct temp for cooking pizza on home oven is as hot as it possible. And I also recommend a steel.

This is the key. I highly recommend a pizza steel over a stone.

You will need to crank your oven to the max for 1 hour and use a pizza steel.

Parent context: The crust itself was phenomenal. Im loving how many recipes and hydration levels create vastly different results. Reply: The steel has been way better than the stone that I was using.
