• "The nonstick coating actual works."
• "It truly is 100% nonstick."

• "The nonstick coating make for an easy cleanup."

Cons:

• "Nonstick coating wore off very quickly and thin crust pizzas began sticking to it."
• "The nonstick surface works for a while, and then crud starts building up that's impossible to remove."
• "Nonstick surface is mediocre compared with my last pizza pan."
• "So, I bought this pan about 1 year ago... Now, the pizzas whether homemade dough or frozen pizzas are sticking in the middle of the pan."
• "After about 2 years the non-stick feature of the pan doesn't work even though I'm careful about washing it."
• "The coating started coming off in millimeter spots and was was no longer nonstick after a few months of use."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "Because it feels so sturdy and durable, I think this will last a longtime."
• "Very happy with the purchase. It is made of heavy duty materials that are durable."
• "These are STURDY and very high quality!"
• "This pan is very sturdy and I imagine would work for other things, too."
• "It's extremely sturdy and of heavy gauge material."
• "This pan is very well made and sturdy."
• "Very sturdy and well built."

Cons:

• "The quality of Pizza Pan is awful."
• "But it started to rust after a couple years, and now at 4+ years it's quite rusted... time to let it go."
• "The curled edges have, a year in, started to rust quite badly on the bottom just from putting it through the dishwasher."
• "The nonstick coating on the bottom of my pan is starting to chip."
• "The nonstick finish to chip off."
• "These are extremely thick pans but they will warp if you do that due to the quick extreme temperature change."
• "I read reviews saying these pans won’t warp under high heat, but that hasn’t been my experience. I bake pizza at 450 deg F and the pans warp."

Design and Functionality

Pros:

• "The perforations let the crust cook faster and the pizza just slides off onto the cutting board when it's done."
• "The holes allow direct heat into the bottom of the pie for a crispier crust."
• "Perforations help make the pizza cook very evenly."
• "This pan holds a large frozen pizza easily and cooks the pizza perfectly."
• "Cooks our frozen pizza thoroughly and gives the bottom crust that crunch."
• "Cooks super crispy on the bottom crust."
• "The crusts come out wonderfully crispy and done to perfection."

Cons:

• "When I cook pizza using this baking sheet, the sauce goes through the holes."
• "You also need to be careful not to cut into the nonstick surface while cutting the pizza (near impossible)."
• "A little bigger than I anticipated... It doesn't fit in my oven so I can't use it."
• "It does not work as well as the pizza stone on any temperature lower than 500 degrees."
• "Keep in mind that it has the holes when cutting the pizza as the crumbs will fall through and leave a mess underneath."
• "The holes are really annoying if you use dough, but even for just frozen pizza, you'll get all kinds of crumbs falling through them when you cut the pizza."
• "While in many ways this is a nice product, I feel the diameter of the holes is too wide. When I cut the pizza, often times crumbs will fall through, meaning I need to cut the pizza over something else to avoid making a mess."
