• "This pan is what you want if you are making Detroit style pizzas!"
• "The quality of Lloyd is amazing. Made in the USA."

Cons:

• "The 'non-stick' coating didn't last six months, and contrary what the manufacturer says it is NOT metal utensil safe and WILL scratch."
• "Baking at 550 degrees led to blackening instead of browning on the bottom crust and too much blackening on the side crust."

Cleaning and Maintenance

• "The pan cleans effortlessly with some hot water and a nylon soapy scrubby thing of your choice."
• "Pizza came right out, clean up was a breeze."
• "Cooks evenly without sticking and cleans up easily."

Cons:

• "Pans made great pizzas. Very happy there. But the corner creases are virtually impossible to completely clean."
• "Another thing that is a pain, especially for pizza, is it leaks at the corners."
• "Some burnt edges when making Detroit pizza are going to stick and it’s somewhat of a pain to clean off."
• "The corner edge creases are also really hard to clean."
• "Considering that you are not supposed to wash it with a hard abrasive makes it impossible to clean as the cooked on cheese from the pizza will not come off the side of the pan even after I have soaked it overnight."

• "I feel like it’s just an overpriced pan I could have bought at Walmart and got the same result."
• "I can't recommend anyone buy this item. Its way overpriced."
• "Totally do not recommend. Quality is not equal to price, this is garbage, not a good quality product."
• "Why pay 50.00 plus dollars for a pan you can get for 8.00?"

• "Bought it used but I didn’t expect it to have food stuck on it... also could not get the pan clean."
• "It was delivered at my front door with literally no box or protective packing material."
• "Looks like my item was dropped on the floor before shipping, a lot of scratches all over the pan and the corner welds make it look pretty rough as well."
• "Negative would be it was shipped in plastic bag, arrived with a few nick's in the finish and was a little dirty inside like it might’ve been used and repackaged."
• "Worst pizza pan I have ever used... the pizza has fused to the pan."
