IWA Laser Etched Pizza Peel #36269
Details
Pizza night deserves a centerpiece, and this North American maple peel is exactly that. Hand-finished in the U.S.A. and laser-etched with your family name or a custom phrase in the clean Farmhouse font, it moves from oven to table without missing a beat — and hangs on the wall when it’s not in use, thanks to the leather strap threaded through the handle. The personalization is included in the price, and because each peel is cut from a single piece of maple, the grain is its own.
A note worth keeping in mind: the two-line etching format (up to 12 characters per line, uppercase) lends itself to names paired with a phrase — a family name over “PIZZA NIGHT,” a couple’s names over a date, or something as simple as “TOM’S PIZZA.” That specificity is what makes it feel like a gift rather than a purchase.
Best For
- Giving to a couple who just moved in together and hosts casually but often
- Sliding a wood-fired pizza straight from the oven to the table without hunting for a cutting board
- Hanging in a kitchen where the tools on the wall are part of the room’s look
- Gifting to the friend whose Friday nights revolve around homemade pizza and a good bottle of red
Features
- Personalization covers two lines, up to 12 characters each, etched in uppercase Farmhouse font. Common combinations shown include a family name with a subtitle (e.g., “ANDERSON / PIZZERIA”) or names with a date — useful to know before you decide what to put on it.
- Not dishwasher safe. Hand wash with mild soapy water and dry promptly. Soaking will warp or crack the wood. Worth flagging if you’re buying this as a gift for someone used to tossing boards in the dishwasher.
- Requires periodic oiling with food-safe mineral oil to prevent cracking over time. Apply with a soft cloth when the board is clean and dry, let it absorb, then wipe off the excess.
- 3/4 inch thick — sturdy enough for actual pizza oven transfers, not just counter display.
- Leather hanging strap means it stores on the wall when not in use, which also makes it part of the kitchen decor.
- Allow 2–3 weeks for production before shipment. Order well ahead for birthdays, weddings or holiday gifting.
- Personalized orders are non-returnable — review the spelling and character count carefully before submitting.
Pairs Well With
- Food-safe mineral oil for routine maintenance — IWA carries it, and the care instructions specifically recommend re-oiling the board periodically to keep it from drying out.
Specs & Resources
Brand: IWA
Size: 14w x 21d x 3/4h (in)
Care Instructions
After use, the board should be cleaned with hot, mild soapy water. It should not be soaked in water, because this may cause the board to crack and warp. Periodically, the board should be oiled with a food-safe mineral oil to keep it from cracking. Make sure the board is completely clean and dry before oiling, and use a clean soft cloth or paper towel to apply. Let it soak in, then wipe off the excess.
FAQs
How does the personalization work, and what can I put on it?
A: Personalization is laser-etched directly into the maple wood using the Farmhouse font in uppercase letters. You can add two lines of text, up to 12 characters per line — common choices include a family name on the first line and a phrase like “PIZZERIA” or “PIZZA NIGHT” on the second. Names, dates and short phrases all work well. The etching is permanent and does not wash off.
Can this pizza peel actually go in a pizza oven, or is it only for serving?
A: It is designed for both. The 14-inch wide, 21-inch deep maple board is functional enough to slide a pizza in and out of a home pizza oven, and flat enough to serve directly at the table. Because it is wood, it should not be used inside a high-heat oven for extended periods — it is best suited for launching and retrieving, not prolonged exposure to oven temperatures.
How do I clean and maintain it so it lasts?
A: After each use, wash with hot, mild soapy water and dry promptly — do not soak it or put it in the dishwasher, as prolonged water exposure can cause the wood to crack or warp. Periodically treat the board with a food-safe mineral oil: make sure the board is completely clean and dry first, apply with a soft cloth or paper towel, let it soak in, then wipe off the excess. Regular oiling keeps the maple looking good and prevents drying out over time.
How long does it take to arrive after ordering?
A: Because each board is personalized to order, allow 2–3 weeks for processing before shipment. Plan ahead for gifting occasions — this is not a same-week option. Also note that sales of personalized items are final and cannot be returned, so double-check your text before placing the order.
What does the board actually look like in person — will mine match the photos exactly?
A: The board is made from North American maple wood and hand-finished in the U.S.A., so the light, pale tone and subtle grain you see in the photos are accurate to the material. That said, wood is a natural material and each board will vary slightly in color, shade and grain pattern — no two are identical. The laser-etched personalization will appear as a warm, medium-brown burn against the light maple surface.

This was a gift and was a huge hit!! Great quality and the engraving made it the perfect give for our friends that make their own pizzas.
Nice personalized gift.

We have some good friends that have just about everything and hard to buy a gift for, but we have gotten together over the years to make pizza (and drink lots of wine) so this personalized pizza board was the perfect gift. We'll probably order another for some other friends. We gave it to them along with pizza ingredients. Can't wait to get together with them and make some pies (and drink lots of wine).

Absolutely love this pizza peel. It even arrived before Christmas which I didn’t expect! Very good quality and the personalization makes it extra special. Can’t wait for our guests to see it at our next pizza party. Used it as a charcuterie board over the holidays. Everyone loved it!
