Three pizza tools to make your homemade pizza even better

Do you absolutely positively need these tools to make pizza at home? No. But if you want to turn good homemade pizza into great homemade pizza, they might come in handy. 

1. Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder attachment

Whether you like grated Parmesan, coarsely grated cheddar, or mozzarella, when it comes to pizza, cheese makes everything better. Starting off with a nice, big chunk? Attach the Fresh Prep/Shredder attachment to your Stand Mixer and grate it anyway you like, easily and quickly. 

2. Pizza Stone

The secret to a crispy, perfectly-browned pizza crust? A pizza stone. Just like a professional oven, it retains and radiates heat, making it the perfect surface for your crust to cook evenly. But only if you preheat it. So, don’t forget to pop the pizza stone in the oven in advance. 

3. Pizza Cutter

Cutting your pizza into perfect triangular-shaped slices is so much easier with a decent pizza cutter. And let’s be honest, it’s way more fun too.
