Cerutti Tulip Perforated Pizza Peel (Square) | Anodised Aluminium

The Cerutti Inox Tulip is a professional-grade perforated square pizza peel, designed in Italy by architect Itamar Harari, made from anodised aluminium with a distinctive red handle, and available in multiple blade sizes and handle lengths to suit home pizza ovens, wood-fired ovens, and professional use alike.

The Tulip square is the flat-bladed counterpart to the Tulip round peel, sharing the same Italian manufacturing, anodised aluminium construction, and riveted handle design. The square blade offers greater surface area and stability than a round peel, making it the preferred choice for handling larger pizzas, rectangular doughs, and higher hydration bases. It provides more support during launching, particularly when working with wider pizzas or when control and precision are more important than speed.

Prefer a round peel for Neapolitan-style pizza and faster, lighter launches? View the Cerutti round perforated pizza peel.

Why Choose a Square Perforated Pizza Peel

Perforations reduce excess flour during launching, give a cleaner pizza base, and make the launch itself smoother by reducing blade-to-dough contact. Read our full guide to perforated pizza peels here.

• Less flour on the oven floor, less burning, less bitterness on the base
• Reduced blade-to-dough contact for a cleaner, more confident launch

  Square blade provides more stability and control when handling larger or rectangular pizzas

Anodised Aluminium Construction

The Tulip is made from an anodised aluminium alloy. Anodising creates a hardened oxide layer on the surface of the metal, making the peel significantly more resistant to abrasion, corrosion and surface wear than untreated aluminium. It is also lighter than stainless steel, which reduces fatigue during longer cooking sessions.

• Material: Anodised aluminium alloy
• Hardened oxide surface layer resists scratching and corrosion
• Lighter than stainless steel, less fatigue during extended use
• MOCA certified for food contact, manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards

Design Details

The Tulip blade features a partial-length central rib, running approximately half the length of the blade, which Cerutti describe as providing stability while leaving the right space for the dough. The leading edge is precision-milled to a fine bevel for a cleaner entry under the dough, and the handle is secured with structural rivets so the join stays tight with regular high-temperature use.

• Partial-length central rib for blade stability
• Bevelled front edge, slides cleanly under the dough base
• Structural rivets secure handle to blade, will not loosen with regular use
• Red anodised aluminium handle with hanging hook for storage
• One-piece construction on shorter handles; click-lock jointed on longer handles

Choosing the Right Square Pizza Peel Size

The blade size should be slightly larger than the pizza you intend to make. The square Tulip is available in a wider range of blade sizes than the round, making it the natural choice as pizzas get larger or as you move into more professional setups.

• 33cm blade: suits pizzas up to approximately 12 inches (30cm), ideal for compact home ovens
• 36cm blade: suits pizzas up to approximately 14 inches (35cm), better for larger ovens and bigger bases
• 41cm blade: suits pizzas up to approximately 16 inches (40cm), suited to larger wood-fired ovens and commercial use

If you are unsure, the 33cm blade is the right starting point for most home pizza makers.

Choosing Your Handle Length

Match the handle length to the depth of your oven. Use the guide below to find the right fit at a glance.

• Short handle (30cm): Ooni Koda 12, Gozney Roccbox, standard domestic ovens, and any compact oven with a shallow chamber
• Medium handle (60cm): larger home pizza ovens, outdoor countertop ovens, and smaller commercial ovens
• Long handle (120cm–150cm): full-depth wood-fired ovens, professional pizzeria ovens, and any oven where the cooking surface is set well back from the opening

The Story Behind the Tulip

Cerutti Inox has been manufacturing professional pizza peels in northern Italy since 1980. The Tulip launched in 2017, designed by Milan-based architect Itamar Harari — the name inspired by the tulip-like shape of the first round prototype. Used in pizzerias and restaurants across Europe since launch.

• Designed by Itamar Harari, Milan
• Manufactured in Premosello Chiovenda, northern Italy
• ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and MOCA certified

Pair With a Turning Peel

This is a launching peel, used to load the pizza into the oven. For turning and retrieving during the bake you need a separate turning peel. We stock Cerutti stainless steel turning peels in several sizes, designed for use at oven temperature.

The Tulip is also available as a round pizza peel, better suited to Neapolitan-style and circular pizzas. We also stock Cerutti oven brushes for maintaining your oven floor, and the full Cerutti Inox range is available to browse at Pasta Kitchen.
