Can you turn the deep dish pizza stone over to make a regular pizza  or is it better to get a regular stone to make pizzas

    I have no idea my friend. But I want a deep dish stone myself.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Maybe someone can answer. But I can not. Sorry.

    What a great idea. Borderline genius. I don't see why not.

    You can use it upside down. Issue will be the performance. Better stones are usually 5/8" thick. I don't know how thick the deep dish pan is, but suspect it is on the thinner side. Pizza stones need to store heat which is then quickly transferred to the dough. Thick stones can store more heat than thin ones.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    I have the BGE deep dish stone and use it upside down with no issues. Happy pizza making.

    I don't have the stone, but I made deep dish in my iron skillet on the egg.  Turned out nice :)

    When I went to the Indy Eggfest that very question was asked and the answer was "yes it would act just like a regular pizza stone".

    Deep dish cooked at cooler temps than regular pizza, deep dish pans are not as thick, less thermal mass. Don't own a deep dish ceramic - CI skillet or black pan works just as well. For Neapolitan pizza you have to have a stone or baking steel, IMO.

    Yes you can, and with the extra "air gap" as I call it, I have NEVER burned a  crust. Now Ive probably jinxed myself. THE BGE Deep Dish Stone is my recommendation.

    Ever had deep dish pizza at a restaurant? They don't cook it in/on a stone. They cook it cast iron. Deep dish crust is actually fried rather than baked. Just get cast iron skillet for a fraction of the price of a stone.  See the link below-
