- Categories

14-inch round cast iron pizza pan, 6.5 lb (2.95 kg), pre-seasoned, oven-safe to 500°F (260°C), induction compatible. Higher thermal mass than thin cordierite stones; ridge pattern on the cooking surface promotes air circulation. Weakness: cast iron heats more slowly than steel and less evenly than stone across the full surface; requires same care as cast iron skillet.
14-inch round cast iron, 2.95 kg, pre-seasoned, induction compatible. Works on stovetop for pan pizza as well as in the oven. Requires same care as cast iron skillet — dry immediately, oil lightly when storing.
The Lodge 14-inch round cast iron pizza pan sits between stone and steel in thermal behavior at about 2.95kg with pre-applied seasoning. Cast iron has more thermal mass than thin cordierite and heats more slowly than steel, with the same caveats as any cast iron: keep it dry, oil lightly when storing, never run through the dishwasher. The main advantages are durability (it cannot crack), induction compatibility, and the option to use it on a stovetop as well as in the oven — useful for pan pizza, focaccia, and high-sided baked dishes where a true pizza stone is limited to oven use. If you already cook with cast iron and want a single maintenance routine across your cookware, this fits cleanly.
Pros
- Cannot crack, unlike ceramic stones
- Induction-compatible and stovetop-usable
- Pre-seasoned, ready to use out of the box
- Doubles as a pan-pizza and high-sided baking surface
Cons
- Requires cast-iron care: dry immediately, oil before storage
- Slower preheat than thin cordierite
