A launching peel for putting raw pizza into the oven. The round blade matches a round pizza, so nothing overhangs to catch on the oven mouth, and the perforations let loose flour drop away before it burns onto the stone. Anodised aluminium with Cerutti's red handle, in 33cm, 36cm and 41cm blades with handles from 30cm to 120cm. Made in Italy.
What This Peel Offers
- Perforated blade: loose flour and semolina drop through before they can burn onto the stone or the next base, and the pizza releases from the blade instead of sticking
- Anodised aluminium: a hardened surface that resists scratches and corrosion, and stays lighter in the hand than stainless steel across a long session
- Riveted handle, so it doesn't work loose with use
- Food-safe to MOCA, manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
Our guide to perforated pizza peels covers the perforations in more detail.
Blade Sizes
The blade wants to be slightly bigger than the pizza it carries, so the base sits fully supported with a little margin around it.
- 33cm handles pizzas up to 12 inches, which covers most home pizza ovens
- 36cm handles pizzas up to 14 inches
- 41cm handles pizzas up to 16 inches, for large wood-fired ovens and professional use
Blade width matters as much as pizza size: worth checking against the opening of the oven before ordering, since even the right blade for the pizza can be too wide for a compact oven's mouth. The 33cm here does not fit the ZiiPa Piana, and a 33cm blade is also too wide for a Gozney Roccbox or Arc Lite; see the FAQs below for oven-by-oven fit.
Handle Lengths
Handle length is decided by the oven rather than the pizza.
- 30cm suits small countertop ovens including the Ooni Koda 12 and Volt 12
- 60cm suits bigger garden ovens
- 120cm suits full-size wood-fired ovens, where the fire sits next to the pizza and hands need to be further away

Where the Tulip Sits in the Range
The Smart peel below it does the same job for less, though the surface is untreated and marks with age. The Tough peel above it is hard anodised, a much thicker surface layer made for a blade taking knocks every day in a pizzeria. The Tulip sits in the middle with the widest choice of sizes and a finish that lasts years of weekend use.

Should I buy a round or square pizza peel?
Round if your pizzas come out round. The blade matches the shape, so nothing sticks out past the dough to catch on the oven mouth. Square if your dough is wet and sticky, or your pizzas are big for the blade. A 33cm square blade holds more than a 33cm round one because of the corners, so a heavy or floppy base does not droop over the edge on the way to the oven.
What size pizza peel do I need?
The blade wants to be slightly larger than the pizza you make most often, so the base sits fully supported with a small margin. The 33cm blade covers pizzas up to 12 inches and suits most home pizza ovens. The 36cm takes you to 14 inches for larger garden ovens. The 41cm covers 16 inches and is aimed at full-depth wood-fired ovens and professional use.
Which pizza peel fits an Ooni or Gozney oven?
A 33cm blade on the 30cm handle. That combination is sized for compact countertop ovens with a shallow chamber, including the Ooni Koda 12, Gozney Roccbox and ZiiPa Piana. The 60cm and 120cm handles are longer than those ovens need and become awkward to work with in a small outdoor space.
Is the Tulip the same peel used in professional pizzerias?
Yes. The Tulip is Cerutti's main professional launching peel and has been in pizzerias and restaurants across Europe since it launched in 2017. Nothing is downgraded for the home versions; the shorter handles are simply specified for smaller ovens. For a blade being knocked against a stone floor through a full service every day, the hard anodised Tough peel adds a considerably thicker oxide layer.
How do you clean a Cerutti pizza peel?
Hand washing in warm soapy water and drying is all it needs. It is not dishwasher suitable, and at 30cm to 150cm long it would not fit one anyway. The anodised surface resists the staining and corrosion that untreated aluminium picks up, so there is nothing to season or oil. Brushing loose flour off the perforations after each session keeps it working properly.
Can you use a pizza peel to take the pizza out of the oven?
Yes, though it is not what it is best at. A launching peel is sized to carry a raw base and is large enough to be awkward inside a hot oven. Most people launch with the peel and use a pizza turning peel to rotate and retrieve, because the smaller head manoeuvres without catching the oven mouth.
Will this peel fit the ZiiPa Piana?
No. The Piana's cordierite stone and oven opening are sized for a blade of around 31cm or under, and every Cerutti Inox peel starts at 33cm. For Piana compatibility, the ZiiPa Aquila is the fit, at 30.5cm.
Will this peel fit my Ooni or Gozney oven?
It depends on the blade size and the oven's opening. The 33cm blade fits an Ooni Koda 12 or Volt 12 (opening around 33.7cm) and an Ooni Karu 12 (around 36.8cm), but is too wide for a Gozney Roccbox (around 30.2cm) or Arc Lite (around 32.5cm). The 36cm blade fits a Karu 12 or a Gozney Dome (around 41.1cm), but not a Koda 12, Volt 12 or Roccbox. The 41cm blade fits an Ooni Koda 16 (around 52cm) or a Dome, with very little room to spare on the Dome. Figures are the ovens' published opening widths, so worth checking against your own model before ordering.
