Pick a pizza pan by crust style, then diameter, then the heat it survives.
For the best pizza pan, start with crust. Perforated pans let moisture out and suit crisp thin crust; solid pans suit general baking; deep pans suit Detroit style.
Next, check diameter against your oven rack and the pizza you bake. Listed round sizes here run 13 to 16 inches.
Then check the upper temperature rating: 450°F or 500°F where stated. Finally, weigh care: dishwasher safe versus hand wash only.
Our top picks for Pizza Pan
GoodCook AirPerfect 16-Inch ranks first: a perforated 15.75-inch round rated to 500°F, at a lower price tier. HONGBAKE is rated to 450°F, and Lloyd Pans suits Detroit-style rectangular pies.
How we picked
No product was handled. The ranking comes from comparing manufacturer listing specifications: diameter, height, weight, perforation, temperature rating, material and care instructions.
Listings cannot show fit, feel, coating wear or long-term warping, so durability claims are treated as manufacturer statements only.
8 listings were compared on item diameter, item weight, upper temperature rating and occasion. 2 were set aside (1 not what the search asks for and 1 listing states too little). No product was bought or physically handled: every figure is the manufacturer's listing value. Produced by Kitchen & Cookware Desk. Editorial responsibility: restaurantweekhawaii.com.
Pizza Pan compared
Each mini table lists the same fields: diameter, height, weight, temperature rating and care.
A missing value means the listing does not state it.

Pick by pick
1. GoodCook AirPerfect 16-inch perforated pan
1 · Best Overall
Verdict: For crisp crust from a single large round: 15.75-inch perforated carbon steel, rated to 500°F, at the lower price tier.
- 15.75 inches Item Diameter
- 1.5 pounds Item Weight
- 500 °F Upper Temperature Rating
- Valentine's Day Occasion
Best for Home cooks making one family-size crispy pizza at a time
Skip it if You bake two pizzas at once; the two-pack GoodCook set covers that.
Pros
- 15.75-inch diameter, versus 13 inches on both DecorRack pans
- Perforated surface for crispier crust
- 500°F rating, 50°F above HONGBAKE
Cons
- 0.1-inch height means no raised rim
- Single pan only; the set costs more
- Steel gauge is not stated
Against the next pick: It beats the GoodCook set on weight at 1.5 lb against 2.8 lb, but gives you one pan, not two.
Also sold as: 16-Inch (Set of 2).
The deciding spec is the perforated, air-insulated surface. Holes let moisture escape, which is the mechanism behind a crisper base. Among the round pans here, only this one, its two-pack sibling and HONGBAKE are perforated.
At 0.1 inches tall and 1.5 lb, it is the flattest and one of the lightest large pans. Molded feet lift it off the counter. The trade-off: a pan that thin gives you no rim to hold toppings or sauce back, and the listing does not state how thick the steel is.
Its 500°F rating matches most pans here and beats HONGBAKE’s 450°F. The listing mentions dishwasher cleanup, but the care line is cut off, so check before relying on it. Nonstick coatings can scratch under metal tools; the cutting guides invite a knife, so slice elsewhere.

2. GoodCook AirPerfect set of two
2 · Best Two-Pan Set
Verdict: Same 15.75-inch perforated design as the single, in a two-pan set with 2.8 lb total weight.
- 15.75 inches Item Diameter
- 2.8 pounds Item Weight
- not stated Upper Temperature Rating
- Birthday Occasion
Best for Households baking two pizzas in one session
Skip it if You bake one pizza at a time; take the single GoodCook.
Pros
- Two pans, each 15.75 inches across
- Dishwasher safe, unlike HONGBAKE
- Perforated and footed like the single
Cons
- No temperature rating stated
- Higher price tier than the single GoodCook
- Takes twice the storage space
Against the next pick: It is 15.75 inches against HONGBAKE's 14-inch inner size, at the same 2.8 lb total weight.
Also sold as: 16-Inch.
This is the single GoodCook pan doubled. Diameter is 15.75 inches, each pan is 0.6 inches tall per the listed dimensions, and the pair weighs 2.8 lb. Two pans let you bake a second pizza while the first rests, or cook for a group.
The set is in the higher price tier here, so you pay for the second pan. The listing does not state an upper temperature rating, which the single pan states at 500°F. For high-heat baking, that gap matters.
Care is dishwasher safe, a point in its favor over the hand-wash-only DecorRack and HONGBAKE pans.

3. HONGBAKE perforated 14-inch two-pack
3 · Best Handles
Verdict: Perforated 14-inch pans with wide handles, 15.75 inches overall, but rated to only 450°F.
- 14 inches Item Diameter
- 2.8 pounds Item Weight
- 450 °F Upper Temperature Rating
- Christmas Occasion
Best for Cooks who prioritize a secure grip and bake at moderate heat
Skip it if You bake at 500°F; choose the GoodCook single.
Pros
- Wide handles for moving a hot pizza
- Perforated, with 0.9-inch height
- 0.8mm steel stated
Cons
- 450°F rating, lowest listed
- Hand wash only
- Inner 14 inches, smaller than GoodCook's 15.75
Against the next pick: Its 14-inch inner diameter is larger than DecorRack's 13 inches, but its rating is 50°F lower.
Not stated on the listing: capacity. Also sold as: Light Grey / 14inch with Handles (external size:15.75inch), Cream / 14inch with Handles (external size:15.75inch), Gray / 12inch with Handles (external size:14inch), Gray / 16 Inch(external size:16inch).
The inner baking size is 14 inches; the handles stretch the outer size to 15.75 inches. That means the pizza is smaller than the footprint suggests, so measure the pizza, not the pan.
The 0.8mm carbon steel, 0.9-inch height and molded feet are listed. The 450°F ceiling is the lowest among pans that state a rating, 50°F below GoodCook’s single pan. If you bake hot for a crisp base, that limits you.
Care is hand wash. The listing mentions larger and smaller sizes exist.

4 · Best Lightweight
Verdict: Verdict: A 13-inch solid pan at 0.32 kg, rated to 500°F, for smaller ovens and personal pizzas.
- 13 inches Item Diameter
- 0.32 kg Item Weight
- 500 °F Upper Temperature Rating
- Cinco de Mayo Occasion
Best for Small ovens and personal-size pizzas
Skip it if You want a 16-inch pizza; pick GoodCook.
Pros
- 500°F rating
Cons
- No perforation
- Hand wash only
- Capacity listed as 13 liters is a listing error
Against the next pick: Same 13-inch diameter as the DecorRack two-pack, but one pan against two and a carbon steel body.
Also sold as: 2 Pack, 3 Pack.
At 13 inches and 0.32 kg, it is light for a pan. The rim is 0.37 inches with a sloped edge and the height is 0.25 inches.
It is not perforated, so it does not target crispness the way GoodCook does. The 500°F rating matches the top group. Hand wash only, and the listing warns against sharp utensils.
Capacity is given as 13 liters, which cannot be right for a 0.25-inch pan, so ignore that figure. Other pack sizes are sold.

5. DecorRack 13-inch alloy steel two-pack
5 · Best Budget Pair
Verdict: Two 13-inch alloy steel pans in the lower price tier, rated to 500°F.
- 13 inches Item Diameter
- not stated Item Weight
- 500 °F Upper Temperature Rating
- Party Occasion
Best for Shoppers wanting two small pans cheaply
Skip it if You want a stated weight or clear material; take the carbon steel single.
Pros
- Two pans in the lower price tier
- 500°F rating
- 13-inch diameter fits smaller ovens
Cons
- Weight not stated
- Material wording is inconsistent
- Hand wash only
Against the next pick: It is 13 inches against Lloyd Pans' 14-inch length, but round rather than a deep rectangle.
Also sold as: 3 Pack.
This is the pair version of the previous pan, in alloy steel, with the same 0.25-inch height and 500°F rating. Two pans in the lower price tier is the draw.
The listing does not state item weight. Its capacity of 2 pounds and an included component named cake dish look like listing slips, and the feature text mentions alloy steel aluminum, so the exact material is unclear.
Hand wash only. Nothing is perforated.

6. Lloyd Pans Detroit-style rectangular pan
6 · Best for Detroit Style
Verdict: A 10 x 14 inch aluminum pan, 2.5 inches deep, 328 cubic inches, for thick Detroit-style pizza.
- 14 inches Item Diameter
- 1.4 pounds Item Weight
- not stated Upper Temperature Rating
- Everyday Occasion
Best for Detroit-style pizza
Skip it if You bake thin round pizzas; choose GoodCook.
Pros
- 2.5-inch depth for thick pies
- 328 cubic inch capacity
- Metal utensil safe finish
Cons
- No temperature rating stated
- Lid sold separately
- Not suited to thin crust
Against the next pick: It is 2.5 inches deep against DecorRack's 0.25 inches, but cannot hold a round 13-inch pie.
Also sold as: 10x14x2.5 inch (Pack of 12), 8×10 inch, 8×10 inch (Pack of 12).
This is the only deep pan here: 2.5 inches tall against 0.1 to 0.9 inches for the rest. Capacity is 328 cubic inches in aluminum at 1.4 lb.
The pre-seasoned finish is described as metal-utensil safe. The listing notes dark pans bake a darker crust, so lower the temperature or time. It does not state a temperature rating, and the lid is sold separately.
It is a thick pie pan, not a crisp thin-crust one. Hand wash.

How to choose Pizza Pan
Checklist
- Diameter: 15.75 inches fits family pizzas; 13 inches suits smaller ovens.
- Perforation: holes release moisture for a crisper base.
- Temperature rating: 500°F beats 450°F for hot baking.
- Height: 0.1 to 0.9 inches for flat pans; 2.5 for Detroit.
- Care: Care: the GoodCook set lists dishwasher safe; the single pan's care line is cut off.
Questions that settle the choice
How big should the pan be?
Match the pizza: 13 inches for personal, about 16 for family pies, if your rack fits.
Do holes matter for crispy crust?
Perforation lets steam escape, so a perforated pan like GoodCook’s targets crispness directly.
What temperature rating is enough?
Is a steel better?
A pizza steel is a different, heavy product at 17.6 lb, so it was cut from the picks.
The competition
- THERMICHEF 16-inch pizza steel Not what the search asks for A 17.6 lb steel slab, a different product from a pan, with no temperature rating or height stated.
- Calphalon Titan Steel 16-inch pan Listing states too little The listing states no dimensions, weight or capacity beyond a 16-inch diameter and mixes in loaf pan copy.
Who should buy what
GoodCook’s single perforated 16-inch pan is for crisp-crust bakers who make one large pizza at a time. Buy the GoodCook set for two at once, or Lloyd Pans for Detroit style.
Skip the category if you already own a pizza steel and want only a thick-crust result.
